Commercials from October ’88!
Here’s a great assortment of TV commercials from October of 1988:
Looks like they were all pulled from a broadcast airing of Halloween II. (Check out that opening promo! So good!)
Only a few of the ads are Halloweeny, but there’s still some neat stuff in the mix. Enjoy!
Universal Horror Doc!
Tonight’s suggestion comes from the awesome vhslvy. If you’re in for a long night, it’s just what you need:
Check out Universal Horror, a horror movie documentary with a particular emphasis on the early Universal monster movies. From what I’ve been able to piece together, this premiered as a TV doc back in ’98.
Before you start watching this, make some tea. It just seems like such a “tea” doc.
Misfits Concert!
Happy Friday, guys! If you missed it, I just posted a new video, and I can’t believe I got that one done today. Definitely did not seem likely, but I’m glad to end the week on a good note. (I need to spruce up the post that goes with it, but that can wait until tomorrow.)
Tonight’s video was suggested by Mike M., and I think it’ll be great background noise for what’s essentially a Free-For-All Thread.
It’s a Misfits concert from 1999. Take it away, Mike:
“Not your typical Dino Drac After Dark fare, but I love a good horror-themed concert as we draw closer to 10/31. I took my brother to see Rob Zombie last year at the beginning of October, and it set the tone for the entire month. This is the Misfits from a show in Pittsburgh, just days after Halloween ’99. I was there. Gwar played too. I left with my shirt ripped off and I was covered in fake blood and urine. It was a good time, obviously.”
Enjoy!
Commercials from ’82!
Here’s a lovely (but not very Halloweeny) batch of TV commercials from 1982…
These all aired on ABC on 10/17/82. There isn’t much in the way of spooky ads, though the vid does kick off with a killer TV spot for Halloween III. Come for that, but stay for the McDonald’s commercial that apparently introduced the world to Chicken McNuggets? Nice.
