Dino Drac After Dark

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!

THREAD.

I’m going to a party tonight, so this is A THREAD in case I don’t make it home in time to post one. Cheap, but I’m counting it. Talk about anything!

1990 Horror Hall of Fame Awards!

For those with more time than I have tonight — my God, this has been quite the week — here’s an absolute knockout, uploaded to YouTube by my buddy Josh:

Enjoy an unusually great copy of The Horror Hall of Fame Awards, from 1990! This was the first in a series of annual TV specials that basically amounted to puff pieces with an awards show framework. So much cheesy goodness, hosted by Robert Englund. Trust me, you don’t even need to be that into horror movies to enjoy this!
