Friday Night Thread!
Talk about whatever!
(Just got back from seeing Suspiria. Gonna need several months to process that one.)
The Day After Halloween.
The day after Halloween is always weird, but since October turned into total insanity for me, it’s even weirder than usual. I wasn’t exactly sorry to see the season go, if only for the chance to hit the reset button and get my shit straightened out.
Right now I’m surveying the scene and deciding how I wanna attack Thanksgiving and Christmas on the site. I have a couple of (IMO) knockout articles to put together, but there’s also going to be an increased focus on videos and podcasts. (My thought is that it’s better to skip writing days here and there if it means more vids and shows.)
As for Dino Drac After Dark, expect a whole bunch of holiday videos over the next few months, but to avoid any dry spells, I was thinking I’d schedule “nightly threads” without videos just to guarantee that there’s a new thread every night. (I can always go in and add videos as time permits.)
In fact, let’s see how that goes right now. Here’s a thread! Without a video! Talk about whatever.
Happy Halloween!
I can’t believe someone found and uploaded the Nightmare on My Street music video! I won’t get into the history of that video here, but if you know anything about this song, you should also know how huge this is!
Anyway, HAPPY HALLOWEEN, everyone!
I hope y’all had a great season. Sorry that the Countdown went awry this year, but I hope you still got something out of it!
My October fell apart early, and then things just got so far away from me that I couldn’t catch up. I’m glad we managed to get one last podcast out, but I definitely wish I would’ve done more videos — especially after September was so strong on that front.
Oh well. I’ll do better next year. Onward and upward!
Talk about how you spent Halloween and your whole damn season, in the comments!
Elvira and Saved by the Bell?!
Here’s an extra special video suggested by Sammy Hain:
So, this. God. How do I describe it? You know, I think I’ll just swipe the description from the MST3K Wiki:
“Attack of the Killer B-Movies is an NBC prime time special that aired on Saturday, September 2, 1995 at 8pm. The special was hosted by Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and featured several stars from NBC’s teen-centric comedy series, including Dustin Diamond. It was written by Frank Conniff, with “Special Material” written by Elvira performer Cassandra Peterson.
“The special consisted of the performers making jokes at 4 films that had been heavily edited to fit the allotted time: The Wasp Woman starring Susan Cabot (which had also been colorized) and Killers from Space (also colorized) starring Peter Graves, The Navy vs. the Night Monsters starring Mamie Van Doren, and Monster from Green Hell (featuring music by Albert Glasser).”
Buckle up, guys. Halloween is saved.
