Gremlins Book & Record Set!
This is fantastic. Someone ripped the audio from one of those old Gremlins book-and-record sets, where you were supposed to read along to a record’s narration. (Helpfully, the video includes not just the narration, but scanned pages from the old storybook!)
Forget the “reading” part, because this is such an oddly soothing thing to go to sleep to!
1994 Super Bowl Commercials!
Surely some of you will be watching this year’s Super Bowl only for the commercials. Before you do, check out this batch from 1994!
Looks like this would’ve been Super Bowl XXVII, which is hella fun to type. A quick scan reveals everything from discontinued Doritos to Rodney Dangerfield, so surely there will be something in here for you to latch onto. Enjoy!
Tales from the Darkside: Halloween Candy!
Here’s Halloween Candy, a classic episode of Tales from the Darkside. (…which I’ll remind you represents the spirit of Dino Drac After Dark better than any other show!)
I’ll just crib the description from Google: “After years of boycotting Halloween, an elderly man is tormented by a persistent little trick-or-treater who’s out to teach him a lesson.”
And yeah, I could save this for next October, but the chances of it still being on YouTube by then are slim to none.
In other news, I just set Dino Drac After Dark up with about a week’s worth of posts. So like, don’t be afraid to keep checking here after midnight. For the next several days at least, you’ll actually see updates! (Trying to get back on track!)
Mickey’s 60th Birthday!
You guys need to watch this one, no matter how you feel about Mickey Mouse:
Mickey’s 60th Birthday aired on NBC back in ’88, and it is incredible. NBC enlisted the casts of many of their hit shows to appear, so you get Disneyfied bits from the sets of Cheers, Family Ties and more. The whole thing is hosted by John Ritter, just for extra bonus points.
Strongly recommended. It’ll put your head in a happy place.
