They 💀 Haunt

Just talkin’ about the things I enjoy: movies, Halloween, horror, old TV shows, punk rock, metal, film scores, video games, writing, dark rides and wooden rollercoasters. If you need me, I’ll be watching MeTV Toons.
1) I hate that every large company is actively devouring themselves. 2) While I enjoy a taste of that ‘90s Gen X energy that Spencer’s still offers, they still very much cater to the “fuck your feelings” crowd (like selling shirts with the R word). I hope they don’t bring that energy to Hot Topic.

Taking the new Halloween coffee mug I got from Walgreens for a spin.
Probably the only good thing about the Six Flags/Cedar Fair merger is getting a Jason maze, or any sort of movie theming at all. The Paramount years were complicated (controversial removals, odd ride placements, poor upkeep, Son of Beast), but it was genuinely nice to have a local “movie park.”

Up until like two years ago, Big Boys were still insanely ubiquitous in my region. Like, about “one in every town” common. But thanks to, you’ve guessed it, a private equity firm, there are only a scattered handful left.

School Librarian: “Shawn, you’ve checked out the Critters Tales of Terror book every week for 30 weeks straight. Don’t you think it’s time to let someone else read about Critters?” Me: “Nope. Stamp it.”

You know, I’m starting to suspect that reposter guy “pleading” for his son, Areen, doesn’t exist.

The Tootsie Roll Pop Owl because he can bite someone’s head open in under three licks. The Noid and Chuck E. Cheese because they look crraaazzzy. And Wendy.

I wanna do a Scrooge McDuck dive into this pile of McDonald's jack-o'-lantern rings from the early '80s. I don't care if it hurts.
Recently picked up this LIGHT OF DAY print from my local antique store. The reverse side includes the entire credits. This is actually one of the few Michael J. Fox movies I’ve not seen, so having this serves as a reminder that I need to get on that asap.
Heads up! Dick Warlock has a new book out about his career, which includes an interview with Tommy Lee Wallace, quotes from Steven Spielberg and Jamie Lee Curtis, and a forward by Kurt Russell.
Going thru the process of getting an up-to-date diagnosis — one that wasn’t dropped around 1990 — and while there is still more to the process it looks I may have an official answer: ADHD Combined with sensory issues.
It’s in the 60s here with a high of mid-70s, and there’s a cool breeze as I sip my coffee outside the office this morning. So I’m gonna carry myself in a way that suggests it’s currently October.

There’s a filmmaker I never really had much of an opinion on before ten years ago. He made movies I thought were okayish in theaters but painfully dull when I watched them again at home. Then a cult of personality formed around him, and now I wish he’d go manage a Waffle House or something.
Without saying your age, what's your favorite movie that came out when you were 18?
Aragorn's YOLO Moment in Lord of the Rings
Alt: Remember the time Aragorn said YOLO in Return of the King? It totally happened. Can’t believe Peter Jackson changed it for the home video release. I totally didn’t pick this gif as a joke or because the gifs were taking too long to load. YOLO!

If you see misinformation spreading, is it dweebish to say something about it?
I’m cautiously optimistic about DOOMSDAY but the momentum has been off ever since ENDGAME. So many cards left on the table, so many starts and stops and coasting on vibes alone. There needed to be an AVENGERS-level event film or two in the middle and they really should’ve done X-MEN sooner.
Crush is releasing a tropical flavor called Back to the ‘90s. It doesn’t have a zero sugar flavor though, so apparently this isn’t for many of us who actually lived in the ‘90s.

Watching an episode of Rugrats this morning, Angelica just said “Oh, for pizza’s sake!” I think I might adopt this.
Taylor Farms also supplies lettuce to numerous other chains (incl. Wendy’s) and the bagged salads which you can still find on store shelves. But sure, blame Taco Bell, the one chain that responded to the outbreak by actually addressing its existence at all and temporary removing ingredients.
You’ve been murdered. Who do you want on the case? After being hounded day and night by Lt. Columbo, my killer would be begging to go to the slammer.

Heads up! TALES FROM THE CRYPT is back on digital stores. Hopefully this means it’ll get a new physical release in the near future.

Goddammit, this was not the news I wanted to wake up to this morning. Godspeed, Mr. Neill.
It’s taken several weeks and two attempts on eBay, but I’ve finally reclaimed another beautiful relic from my youth: the BATMAN 1989 TV tray.
