Garfield’s Halloween Adventure – 1986 Edition!
I had a wonderfully spooky Saturday spent chasing down Halloween nonsense from the sorts of stores I spend most of the year totally ignoring. I’m really feeling the season tonight, so let’s kick it up a notch:
It’s tradition to run Garfield’s Halloween Adventure every year on After Dark, but this extra-special upload is of the CBS broadcast from 1986… complete with the original commercials! (I spy McDonald’s Halloween buckets!)
Enjoy! (This doubles as a Free-For-All Thread, so talk about whatever ya want, even if it has nothing to do with Garfield or Halloween.)
Hollywood Ghost Stories!
Here’s another great pick from CosmicSparky (Justin P.) that’ll turn a nothing night into a something night. Perfect if you’re having a really boring Friday!
Hollywood Ghost Stories was released in 1986 as a direct-to-VHS documentary. Since it never aired on TV, it’s widely unknown and a real find for anyone who’s already seen the similar made-for-TV docs.
Here’s Justin with more details: “A feature-length special hosted by John Carradine about true stories that inspired classic horror movies, along with bits about celebrities encountering the unknown. It’s packed with old clips and features an appearance by the late great horror author/director, Frank DeFellita.”
Enjoy, and happy Friday!
Tony Orlando sings the Ghostbusters song!
Well, here’s something you weren’t expecting!
Suggested by Paul, here’s Tony freakin’ Orlando covering the Ghostbusters theme song. (From the 1984 MDA Telethon, so it was for a good cause, too!)
A short video for tonight, but I thought it’d make you smile.
The Drak Pack!
If you missed it on the main page, there’s a new video! Go watch me eat Reese’s Puffs Peanut Butter Bats cereal!
(I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get that video done today, but not getting it done would’ve meant ruining my whole week, so, yay.)
Tonight’s pick comes to us from Gridley, and I’m really happy that this one finally hit YouTube!
Check out the first episode of The Drak Pack.
Never heard of it? I’ll let Gridley explain:
“From September 6th, 1980, it’s the first episode of The Drak Pack! Released through Hanna-Barbera’s Australian subsidiary (huh), it only lasted until December of that same year. The premise: Drak Jr., Frankie and Howler — descendants of Count Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster and the Wolf Man — unite as heroes to atone for their ancestors evil!”
Sounds good to me!
