More Sightings Episodes!
Here are a few random episodes of Sightings. (And there are like a hundred more on YouTube, if you feel like binging.)
Sightings was the poor man’s Unsolved Mysteries, but I don’t really mean that in a negative way.
The segments were rougher around the edges and often hard to believe, but the thing about Sightings was that it ALWAYS covered interesting, spooky stuff.
Unsolved Mysteries has a whole bunch of deadweight episodes if you’re only after the paranormal and/or macabre, but you can visit literally any episode of Sightings and it won’t disappoint.
It’s also a perfect show to end the week with: Spooky and kinda slow. Get me a cup of Raspberry Zinger tea and my skull print throw blanket.
Mortal Kombat II!
Here’s a complete playthrough of Mortal Kombat II. (Just pretend it’s a movie, because I sure did.)
There are YouTube playthroughs utilizing every character; I picked Mileena because she’s way cool and has the best ending.
I’ve run a video of the first Mortal Kombat game on here before, but I’ve always found the 1993 sequel to be so much more interesting, what with its increased “gothic” flair.
This isn’t a perfect analogy, but if the first game felt like an action movie with heavy doses of Hong Kong cinema and sci-fi, Mortal Kombat II had a vibe closer to an October horror movie.
Since that playthrough with Mileena is all-business, here’s another video that simply collects every FATALITY in the game. (Which is all you’re really interested in, anyway.)
I have great memories of playing the SNES version on our old downstairs television. Late at night, the music and visuals were spooky enough to put me on guard. The game itself never scared me, but it created the right ambiance for virtually everything else to do just that.
Lord knows if that flavor will come through on a YouTube playthrough, but that’s why I’m serving this up. Enjoy!
Free-For-All Friday Thread #3!
Wow, it’s already time for another Free-For-All Friday Thread?!
This week flew!
If you haven’t been around lately, we’re now using Friday nights to chat about whatever we want in the comments. New movies, old movies, pizza toppings, vacation plans, our most beloved types of whales — it’s totally up to you!
Feel free to join in, no matter how late it gets! These threads tend to see action all through the weekend.
Here’s a little “mood music” for ya, too:
Apparently someone made a YouTube playlist of all the spooky songs me and Jay raved about during scattered episodes of The Purple Stuff Podcast. The playlist has more than 30 tracks, covering everything from creepy WWE themes to Elvira’s incredible Monsta’ Rap.
Take it from me (and Jay): There ain’t a bad song in the bunch, and this is perfect background noise for a dark, wet Friday night.
Happy Free-For-All Friday! 
More Tales from the Crypt!
Here’s a pair of Tales from the Crypt episodes. Pick your poison, and pretend you’re watching HBO on the creepy downstairs television in the mid ’90s:
