Dino Drac After Dark

TV Commercials from 1988 and 1989!

Here’s an absolutely enormous batch of TV commercials from 1988 and 1989…

The compilation is over two hours long, so I hope nobody needed actual sleep tonight. Highlights include everything from Crispy Critters cereal to the classic Big Red gum song. Enjoy!

Little Shop’s Original Ending!

You HAVE seen the original ending to Little Shop of Horrors, yes?

If not, yeah, that’s it. F’n WOW. As the story goes, test audiences found this darker and unhappy ending TOO dark and TOO unhappy, leading to reshoots.

I guess the official ending was the right move, but man, had they stuck with this, we’d still be talking about Little Shop of Horrors every damn day.

Casual Tuesday Thread.

Happy gross Tuesday!

This is a surprise Free-For-All Thread. Talk about whatever!

Inside Family Ties!

Sometimes on After Dark, I like to throw you a little curveball… which is my way of saying that not every featured vid is going to be a hit with too many of you. Roll with it! You can still talk about breakfast cereal and whatever in the comments, anyway.

NOW THEN, here’s Inside Family Ties, a 1988 television doc about the Family Ties TV series, narrated by Henry Winkler of all people. Seems to be a pretty rare find, and I was a huge fan of the show, so why not?
