Garfield: Ghost of a Change!
Here’s a neat pick from LBD “Nytetrayn” that will only take a teensy bit of time to devour!
LBD adds: “I think you might have covered the Garfield Halloween Special before; if so, there is an episode of Garfield and Friends with a ghost theme — one of which is voiced by James Earl Jones, no less!”
He’s right about me having covered Garfield’s official Halloween special (several thousand times, actually), but I’d completely forgotten about this little gem from the regular series.
It isn’t exactly Halloween-themed, but it still so completely is.
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow! (1980)
I got a bunch of great video suggestions from my longtime pal Jugendsehnsucht, and they’re almost as interesting as he is!
Here’s one of them: The 1980 broadcast of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, starring Jeff Goddamned Goldblum as Ichabod Crane!
I can’t imagine that anyone needs another selling point, but just in case, I’ll mention that this video includes all of the original commercials.
(And yeah, if you didn’t know, this was a made-for-TV movie. In a nice touch, it actually aired on Halloween night!)
Monster Cereal Commercials!
It’s stormy, cold and almost unnaturally dark out tonight, so this video is super appropriate:
Suggested by jjwspider, it’s a compilation of vintage Monster Cereal TV commercials. Almost 30 minutes’ worth!
Jjwspider adds: “This includes an appearance by Fruit Brute at around 5:35, and some awesome Star Wars trading cards near the 7:22 mark.”
Great stuff!
Now working on next week’s run of spooky content, which will hopefully include a new video and a podcast.
PS: While I have tons of suggested videos to use throughout the Halloween season, a quick inspection reveals that there are a bunch of slots still open!
If you wanna suggest a video to be run on Dino Drac After Dark, just email me the link, the name you’d like to be credited with, and if you like, a few sentences about the video. (Obviously, it should be something appropriate to run during the Halloween season!)
Free-For-All Friday Thread #10!
You made it through the week! Time for your Free-For-All Friday Thread!
If you’re new to Dino Drac After Dark, Fridays are all about you. Chat about whatever you want in the comments.
If you wanna tell us about your day, go for it. If you wanna name your three favorite rides at a local amusement park, go for it. If you wanna discuss grapes, the floor is yours.
While it’s generally cool to go off-topic in any After Dark post, Fridays are specifically for that purpose. The only rules are to have fun and stay chill.
PS: It’s September! That means we’re in the Halloween season officially, and it also means that this is your first official WEEKEND of the Halloween season! Yay! Make the most of it!
If you want a little background noise for tonight, here’s the complete soundtrack for Jason X. Which is actually way cooler than I’ve ever noticed before. Never doubt Manfredini!
Happy Free-For-All Friday!
