Dark Night of the Scarecrow!
Here’s Dark Night of the Scarecrow, a made-for-TV movie that premiered on CBS back in ‘81. (On a Saturday night, fittingly enough!)
Allow me to borrow IMDB’s plot synopsis:
In a small Southern town, a wrongfully-killed man exacts revenge on those who murdered him from beyond the grave.
That sounds pretty good for tonight!
This video is of the original CBS broadcast and includes all of the commercials, so even if you’re not in the mood for a weird horror movie, you’ll at least get a good dose of ancient cheeseburger ads.
PS: They ran this very late in October, so if the name wasn’t a tip-off, yeah, this was presented as a Halloween movie. (Yes!)
Commercials from 1994!
Well, since I just wrote about Zima’s shocking return, let’s take a look at some TV commercials from its strongest year. Here’s a huge pile of ads from 1994!
God knows what’s in there, but enjoy.
Happy Friday!
(Yes I’m drinking Zima while typing this.)
Survey Says.
Let’s just do a survey, because it’s like two minutes to midnight and I’ll never find a video in time.
Name three of your favorite ROBOTS from all walks of pop culture.
Movie characters, video game characters, cartoon characters, advertising mascots — whatever!
(He’s one of mine, of course.)
Bucky O’Hare!
Weird thing: I collected the hell out of Bucky O’Hare figures, but I never ever saw the cartoon.
Let’s change that:
Here’s the first episode of the series, from 1991. For those who only vaguely recall Bucky O’Hare, he was that green rabbit from outer space. Or something like that.
Enjoy!
