Here’s a Casual Sunday Thread for random chatting. Have at it!
Count Chocula: Rhythm and Boos!
I’m outright lifting tonight’s video from today’s article, because it’s too perfect for a Friday night in the heart of the Halloween season:
Check out today’s article for more info, but in summary, this is a full rip of a strange Halloween music CD that came packaged with boxes of Count Chocula in 2001. It’s Rhythm and Boos, my friends!
(And okay, yes, you’ll probably end up skipping through a lot of this, but at least listen to Count Chocula’s intro, and also the last track, which is just seventeen minutes’ worth of spooky sound effects.)
I don’t expect you to have much to say about this album, so feel free to chat about whatever. Just use it as background noise while you do!
Doorways to Horror!
Hi, I’m back! I’m sort of back! I hope I manage to stay back!
Hope y’all are well. Thanks for holding down the fort.
Tonight’s video was inspired by the newest edition of Classic Creepy Commercials, which included an ad for the Doorways to Horror VCR game. Above is an encode of the complete videotape from that game, loaded with spooky old movie clips and hideously gorgeous graphics. Such a wonderful Halloween mood-setter!
(Seriously, is it even possible that I haven’t run this on After Dark before? Even if I did, it’s worth telling you about twice.)
October 1997 Commercials
Here’s a batch of TV commercials that aired on October 28th, 1997:
They aren’t very spooky, but they did all air during a Fox broadcast of Wolf, super close to Halloween. So it kinda/sorta works?
