I watched it as well and liked it. Not posting doesn't mean not watching. Del Toro is one of my favorite makers so I will watch anything associated with him.


Excellent effort. Looking forward to seeing more from you in the coming days.


Highly recommended and seconded rec for this season. I have it on everytime I am online.

It's the closest to NEW Radio as you can get. Definitely check it out, guys.

This is an impressive effort...

My fiancee and I are going to start working at a haunted trail this weekend. It's nothing super fancy but they always have a pretty good turn out each year and we are super excited to be involved. I've always wanted to work at a haunt and this is finally my year. This Halloween is going to be awesome!!!!

"Enjoy that dead girl's body."

Went outside and walked around in the darkness a bit. The air was cool and somebody was burning leaves somewhere. A very nostalgic feeling came over me. I remembered and longed for a time when Halloween was very different than it is now. It was a time of donning disguises and abandoning all forms of parental supervision. My friends and I would revel in our freedom as we roamed the neighborhood looking for people to scare and loot to score. It was still okay to give kids home made popcorn balls and cookies. And we loved them! There was a sense of leaving civilization behind and embracing the dark and wild.

A few years later, armed with my Dick Smith Do It Yourself Make Up Book, I would get myself up as a vampire or mummy and transform my back yard into a haunted attraction- all by myself. I'd construct a cardboard coffin and fill it with a a homemade dead body. Add a few skulls and tiki torches, and Disney's Thrilling Sounds of a Haunted House playing in the background, I would scare the wits out of the neighborhood kids. They got their reward for braving my chamber of horrors!

This year I'll be working on Halloween. I'm not complaining. I'm thankful to have a job. But, I'll miss celebrating my favorite holiday. The only day we honor our dark side, our wild, primitive nature.

Haunted trail, hayride type deal I presume ? Can not help but notice your location is Alabama aswell....wait it is the plotline to the film Hayride with Richard Tyson !

Had to point that out as it is a little bizarre , to me at the very least :D

No hayride, just a trail through the woods behind a friend's house, we aren't getting paid either it's just people who want to come together to get dressed up and run around through the woods scaring the crap out of people. I have 4 days to get my costume and my fiancee's costume ready so I'm probably going to spend a couple hours in Walmart tonight grabbing up supplies. I've never seen the movie Hayride before :(

Just purchased some candy corn, yum!

Enjoyed reading this. Good to remember Halloween is a state of mind, and we are (almost) always free to romp in that state. Congrats on the job.

Thought it was a real blast, well worth a listen!

It's always great to know & watch in the movies how you guys used to or like to spent this very special day of "Horror"! That's one of the fantastic things about Halloween...a truly unique way to rejoice our all of those known & unknown favorite 'fears' & have fun with friends, family & your neighbors. I really miss this thing here, as it's not a part of our cultural traditions :(

Yah, we're crazy here, so we need a day to let it out.

Halloween make up help!!!
 

Ok I hope this is ok to post but I need ya'lls help. I'm going as a skeleton for Halloween and I'm trying to do a pretty decent skeleton make up but all I have right now is the cheap Halloween grease paint. My face and grease paint do not get along at all, it makes my pores feel like their being murdered with acid and the smell gives me migraines. I need to know what you guys think would be the best make up to use to achieve this look. I don't ever wear make up so I'm totally lost as to what I need.

This is how it turned out with the grease paint and a liquid eyeliner pen.

The teeth are kinda messed up but I didn't want liquid eyeliner or face paint all over my lips.

If anyone can help me I would much appreciate it.

^^Fantastic! You already look freaky/good enough, I think:)

lolz! And I thought the concept of the movie Purge was ridiculous! Silly me!:D

My Tribute to Freddy Krueger
 

And on this Halloween, my little special tribute goes for one of our favorite & fascinating Horror movie villains of all time...Frederick Charles Krueger aka Freddy Krueger!

The thing is after watching the documentary Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy lately, I was just checking out some Fred Krueger tribute videos online and there are some awesome videos on youtube too but surprisingly none of those tribute/homage/montage videos (as far I've seen so far) have used this 90's beautiful MSG classic Nightmare as on their background music.

After a long time, rediscovering this song lately, I just thought MSG's Nightmare deserve a Freddy Krueger homage treatment! And, so here it is....hope HDC will like it :)

I love the video better than most of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies!

Excellent video, roshiq. Nifty editing and great BG score!

Highly recommended, folks. The link is fixed now. Check it out in the previous page.

'Toy Story Of Terror!' Is A Hauntingly Great Halloween Special

Halloween TV schedule :-

http://www.fearnet.com/news/news-art...loween-tv-2013

Good to see there are still some Halloween specials out there! Disney used to have a ton of them both animated originals, specials of their current shows, and family movies. Ah well, Youtube has them still, all the way back to the radio specials...

Every Halloween Cinemassacre presents their "MONSTER MADNESS" review series - 31 horrors reviewed over the course of the month. The reviews don't really offer much in the way of unknown information, but they're still well put together. This year is the second "Sequel-a-Thon", where he focuses on several franchises.

Have to say, though, my favourite was 2010's "Camp Cult". Some great exercises in Cinematic Excess and Counter-Cinema that I'd not heard of before.

Definitely worth a watch.

And Just In Time For Halloween
 

Is this for real?
http://www.nbcnews.com/science/heres...bie-8C11470626

Never heard of Wade Davis before? Haven't you seen The Serpent and the Rainbow? Read the book- it's better than the film. It's a fascinating look at the voodoo legends and the science behind it. Some scientists dispute his claims, but it's still very interesting.

What is everyone's favorite Halloween Cereal? My favorite is probably a tie between Frankenberry and Boo Berry. My least favorite is probably Count Chocula (chocolate flavored cereal always tastes wierd too me.) My fiancee got me a box of Boo Berry, a tin full of Halloween shaped sugar cookies and some caramel apples so I'm surrounded in awesome Halloween themed food.

I'm partial to Count Chocula but now that Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy are back out for a limited time I am trying them.

Something you have to see to believe---and I've seen it. What tomes are in the running for your all-important Halloween eve read?

I haven't been able to find Frute Brute or Yummy Mummy anywhere yet, my dad says they have the vintage boxes at Target but the closest Target is like 25-30 minutes away and I'm not driving all the way there for a box of cereal lol. The Walmart I go to only had Boo Berry last night so I was a little bummed about that because I really wanna try Frute Brute.

Worth the drive IMO --- this is a once in a lifetime opportunity!

Yep, Boo berry and Frankenberry are my favorites.
I've never heard of thoughs. What flavors are they?

Wasn't there a wolfman one? I seem to remember the commercial, a long snouted wolf with a baseball cap, but I can't remember what it was called.

My Halloween treat for you all, a Halloween poem I wrote nearly 40 years ago.

Good stuff NE, love it! :cool:

Thanks, Straker!

Can't remember who posted this originally some years ago but it's become a staple of mine in the approach to the night.

That's Frute Brute [sic].

Well, tomorrow is the last day before Halloween. :cool: How does everyone plan to spend the holiday this year?:confused:
