A William Castle Triple-Feature
For my mom’s birthday in August, I bought her a bunch of old William Castle movies and promised that I would take a day off from work to submerge ourselves in these spooky (mostly) black and white delights. My mom loves classic film, and I love horror, so… it was a natural mishmash of interests…. Read More ›
‘Halloween: Resurrection’ is my third favorite film in the franchise!
Halloween III is easily my favorite, followed closely by John Carpenter’s original masterpiece. For reasons I can’t fully explain, Resurrection is third in a franchise ranking. I don’t really know exactly why I have such affection for this movie…but I do. On paper, it sounds terrible. Busta Rhymes and Tyra Banks send a group of… Read More ›
Fanboys: Totally a Halloween Movie!
Okay, Fanboys (2009) is definitely not the first flick that pops into your brain when making a list of the movies you’re gonna watch in October, but it’s totally a Halloween movie. The film kicks off at a Halloween party. October 31, 1998. Three friends, dressed as Darth Vader and two Stormstroopers, are reunited with… Read More ›
Battle of the Heavy Metal Halloween Anthems!
In my mind, heavy metal and horror have always gone hand in hand. You don’t have to like one to like the other, but the aesthetics, themes, ideas and content are so similar in both. So it’s not surprising that there are a good lot o’ metal tunes that are specific to Halloween. Really, just… Read More ›
Bloody Popcorn: The Kinda-Sorta Recipe Video
I’ve been wanting to make a video for our site for a long time—just needed to muster up the courage! And this past weekend, in the name of Halloween, I did. After having a couple drinks. So, here we go. A “cooking video” that is nowhere near as chic or useful as The Homicidal Homemaker. Have… Read More ›

SCHLUMMPPFF!: A Blood & Gourd Celebration!
When my copies of Blood & Gourd 1 and 2 came in, I posted that flipping through the books was like if Night of the Demons, a Reese’s peanut butter pumpkin, the Garfield Halloween special and that feeling you got when walking home from school in your costume on Halloween were all melted down and… Read More ›
Never Mind The Misfits, Here’s Dead Moon
For those that just want the rock and don’t feel like reading the bullshit, here’s the playlist. For everyone else, here we go. Glenn Danzig and his band o’ horror-obsessed Misfits have reigned supreme over the crisp Autumn months for decades. Sorry ‘Zig, but that has come to an end. Now, Dead Moon don’t have… Read More ›
Kiddie Halloween: Thank you, Wiggles
Hang with me for a sec… Chances are, if you have kids, know kids, or, at the very least, watched syndicated episodes of Yes, Dear on TBS, you probably know who The Wiggles are. A troupe of Aussie songsters, dating back to the early 90s, educating and entertaining toddler-sized minds.
If it’s Halloween, it must be Buffy!
Early on, Giles tells Buffy that Halloween is actually supposed to be a supernaturally quiet night. Clearly that’s not the case in Sunnydale. Season Two’s “Halloween” (which first aired on October 27, 1997) introduced us to Giles’ chaos-obsessed former pal Ethan Rayne (RIP Robin Sachs), who sells the Scoobies costumes that turn them into what… Read More ›
