Dino Drac After Dark

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!

America’s Scariest Haunted Attractions!

Here’s another pick from the awesome vhslvy!

Enjoy America’s Scariest Haunted Attractions, from the Travel Channel.

I live for these sorts of specials. They’re just so… utterly watchable. And the good news is that there are ten billion of them, so if you finish this one and crave more, even a light search of YouTube will provide half a day’s worth of similar videos.

Terrordrome: Rise of the Boogeymen!

God, this is so cool. I love you guys for suggesting so many great videos!

From Al Boondy, it’s a playthrough of the famous fan-made game, Terrordrome: Rise of the Boogeymen.

Al says: “Don’t know if you’ve ever heard of it, but this is a fan-made video game that’s basically just Mortal Kombat with classic horror movie characters. (Jason, Freddy, Ash, Pinhead, Maniac Cop, etc.) This is a playthrough with Michael Myers.”

So, so great. You can Google around for the game if you’re dying to try it, but I’m perfectly satisfied watching others play.

Thanks for sending this in, Al!

Elvira on The Arsenio Hall Show!

Ooh, tonight’s video is great. I’d love to credit the person who suggested it, but that person requested no credit!  😯

October 31st, 1990. The Arsenio Hall Show. Special guest: ELVIRA.

Doesn’t get more perfect than that.

As I’ve mentioned in prior After Dark entries, I once had a big soft spot for The Arsenio Hall Show. To this day, it’s one of the few late night talk shows that I’ve ever been able to stomach. (In general, they’re just not my thing.)

Arsenio’s charm was a big part of it, but the fact that he had such a string of “novelty” guests also helped. (Randy Savage? Jason Voorhees? COME ON!)

Enjoy!
