1980s Xmas Commercials!
With less than a week between now and Christmas, here’s something that’ll put you in the right mood:
It’s an immense collection of 1980s Christmas commercials. Really great assortment that looks like it was well-curated by the uploader. Enjoy!
Random Christmas Memories!
I’ve been a bad boy, neglecting poor ol’ Dino Drac After Dark. Let’s see if we can reinvigorate this place with a survey!
In the comments, describe one random Christmas memory. (You can replace “Christmas” with whatever you celebrate, of course.)
It can be something minor, major or totally ridiculous. It can be from when you were a kid, or even from just last year. Doesn’t matter, but dig deep.
He-Man’s Christmas Special!
By the time most of you read this, it will be December. That’s exciting and scary!
December always flies by way too fast, so I’m trying to keep my eye on the prize by savoring all of those little Christmassy things that will be completely out of style come 12/26 — whether it’s a pine-scented candle or one of those cookie baking competitions that seem to be on TV 24/7.
I’ve been pretty quiet on Dino Drac After Dark lately, but I couldn’t leave you without something to watch on December 1st. We’ve run this before, but it’s worth running every year. Check out He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special!
PS: This aired (twice) on Syfy a few days back. I own three copies of the DVD and it’s all over YouTube, but it was still amazing to see the special back on regular television.
PPS: If you’d like to see the original TV commercials that aired with this special back in ‘85, I wrote a whole article about them.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I know it’s been pretty dead around here lately, but After Dark is like the phoenix: It will rise again!
If you need some background noise while you chop veggies and pound wine, here’s the 1985 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!
Enjoy your day!
