Tales from the Darkside? For Christmas?!
By the time you read this, it’ll be Christmas Eve. If you’ve seen my latest post on the main site, you know that I have a zillion things to do!
A lot of you probably do, too. Actually, God knows if more than three people will even see this. I’m just gonna run on the assumption that someone needs something to watch tonight!
Tonight’s video is extra special, and was just sent my way by a Dino Drac reader. It’s a Christmassy episode of Tales from the Darkside, complete with its original commercials!
Seasons of Belief is one of the show’s most famous episodes. I’m hesitant to tell you what it’s about, because even the least-hinting description will say too much. I will say that it’s an awesome blend of horror and the holidays, so if you’re sick of all of the cartoons I’ve been posting, this one’s for you.
Merry Christmas Eve, all!
Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas?
Uh, yeah, SOLD.
Despite the title of this YouTube video, Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas premiered in 1992. Unfortunately, I’m too drunk to look up anything else about it. Give me a break, it’s Christmas.
A Chipmunk Christmas!
I only have a minute tonight, but I’m leaving you in good hands:
A Chipmunk Christmas premiered in 1981 but was eventually lost in the shuffle, never quite becoming one of the specials that you could count on seeing every year for a whole lotta years. I’m still surprised about that. It’s legit good and it just looks like a classic, if that makes sense. I think you’ll enjoy it, whether you grew up rockin’ out to their squeaky voices or not!
Christmas Music Videos!
Weird thing: I love Christmas music to death, but I’ve hardly seen any of the associated music videos. (In fact, I’m often surprised to find out that some of the famous songs even HAD videos!)
It’s so weird to look them up now, because in some cases I didn’t even know what the singers or bands looked like, and spent 20 years formulating mental images that only rarely matched up with the truth.
Here are assorted music videos for pretty famous Christmas songs, because we’re like three seconds from Christmas and I’ve already used up my Garfield and Snoopy cards:
Okay, so that last one isn’t technically a “proper” music video, but I still love it.
In other news, I’m probably gonna keep Dino Drac After Dark going after the holidays. It’s been slow on the comment side lately, but I’ve still heard from enough readers to feel good about it. Will try to work in more surveys and stuff, too!
