MOTU Toy Commercials!
This’ll sound like a weird thing to run during the Halloween Countdown, but hear me out…
Here’s an immense playlist of vintage Masters of the Universe toy commercials, because sooo many of those ads were 100% SPOOKY. Between the fog, the scary voice-over and all of those terrible monsters, they could feel almost like miniature horror movies. As a kid, this wasn’t lost on me. The commercials were fifty times more intense than the cartoon ever was. Enjoy!
Ghostbusters Music Video!
Today was A DAY, in all caps. If it could go wrong, it was gonna go wrong. I need a pick-me-up, and I’m gonna assume you do, too:
So here’s the official music video for Ray Parker Jr.’s smash hit, Ghostbusters. You may be surprised at how unfamiliar it seems. I mean, I’ve heard the song ten billion times, and I’m still convinced that I never saw the official video until 10 minutes ago. It’s very cool, and so uplifting. I feel better already.
Halloween Movie Trailers!
Here’s a fun one for tonight, suggested by Nubule. It’s a collection of trailers for every single movie in the Halloween franchise, from start to finish to restart to reboot to whatever the hell else happened in the middle. A breezy watch for a weeknight, but oh-so-perfect for the season.
I was a good boy today. Shot a new video, but decided not to start editing it until I wrote this new article, knowing that the video would take more than one afternoon to finish. So yay, a new article posted, and a new video coming tomorrow. Enjoy Michael Myers while you wait.
Monster of Frankenstein!
I wanted something to complement today’s article about those Frank ‘N Stuff hot dogs, and this sure fits the bill:
Here’s Monster of Frankenstein — aka Kyōfu Densetsu Kaiki! Frankenstein — a Japanese animated film from 1981. Ashamed to admit that I’ve never heard of this one before today, but it sounds like a winner.
Synopsis, cribbed from Wikipedia: “Based on Mary Shelley’s novel and the Marvel comic book Monster of Frankenstein. In this 98-minute violent, adult-oriented film, the creature was portrayed as a misunderstood monster, who only wanted to be loved. The film was dubbed and released in the U.S in 1984.”
Might be a little heavy for a Monday night, but if you’re in the position to watch YouTube vids at bedtime, go for it!
