Dino Drac After Dark

UFO Cover-Up? Live!

Jeez, you can find anything on YouTube…

Here’s UFO Cover-Up? Live, a 1988 television special hosted by Mike Farrell of M*A*S*H fame. It’s about aliens, duh. I’m such a sucker for this stuff, and this is a waaaaaay obscure special that I’m guessing most of you have never seen. (I just covered a promo for it on the main page, too!)

Super Mario meets Dracula!

Since we just talked about it on the latest Purple Stuff Podcast, tonight’s pick was only fitting:

Here’s an episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show wherein Mario and Luigi meet DRACULA. (Count Zoltan Dracula, to be exact.)

It’s enormously cheesy and I love every second of it. I really need to binge this series at some point. I’ve seen almost every episode, but it’s been so long that I barely remember the parade of insane guest stars. Enjoy!

Another Spooky Survey!

We’re running out of time for SPOOKY SURVEYS, so what the hey? Let’s see if more than five people are around on a lousy Monday!

In the comments, name three unusual things you received while trick-or-treating as a kid.

(This is one of my favorite subjects, by the way.)

1986 Wizard Video Sales Reel!

I’ve already used my friend Josh’s YouTube channel for one or two picks this season, but man, you really oughta take a look at his whole collection, because there are some incredible rarities in the mix. You could program a daylong marathon with that one channel.

Here’s another pick from his archives. It’s Wizard Video’s 1986 sales reel — meaning the video sent to video stores in the hopes of soliciting sales. Very horror-centric, as Wizard was!
