Vincent Price’s Creepy Classics!
Here’s a solid slice of background noise suggested by collectionofcreaks. You can’t go wrong with Vincent Price!
Enjoy this encode of Creepy Classics, a collection of old horror clips narrated cheekily by Mr. Price.
From collectionofcreaks: “In 1987, Hallmark had these videos for sale around Halloween. Vincent Price, clips from classic horror… I watched mine until it no longer played.”
Now that I think about it, I’m certain that I own this on VHS, too. It was kinda like the video version of those “spooky sounds” audio cassettes.
In a world that hadn’t yet developed constant access to this sort of media, tapes like this were a ghoulish godsend.
1985 Halloween Safety Film!
Okay, tonight’s pick is pretty famous and was suggested by a whole bunch of people, but it looks like the incomparable Brew Berry sent it in first. Congrats, Brew!
Get a load of Halloween Safety, an educational video from 1985. It’s cheesy and weird but also wholesome and charming, and as Brew Berry said in his email, there’s even a great “floating mask rave” at the beginning.
(Pretty sure this one came up on an ancient episode of the podcast, too!)
Dracula: The Series!
Here’s a perfect pick for a spooky Saturday night, from Raven Odette!
It’s the pilot episode of Dracula: The Series, from 1990. Like Raven describes in her email, it is SO ‘90s.
From Raven: “The highlight of the episode is when Dracula says he has MTV piped into his castle because he loves Young MC and later on name-drops Milli Vanilli.”
Dracula: The Series made it to 21 episodes before its cancellation in 1991. It’s one of those shows that nobody ever seems to talk about, but if you like what you see here, the same uploader seems to have put every single episode on YouTube.
