The Spooky October Thread, Will be revived every year Options

[Grits]

I had a very short spooky season this year due to road trips, but I managed to watch Hocus Pocus and Fright Night (2011). The scariest part was trying to pause a movie using the Xbox controller when someone rang the doorbell. We actually had trick-or-treaters this year! I gave one kid so much candy, he said "Oh wow!"

Today I have to go inside a Best Buy. I'm preparing myself to see a frightening number of Christmas decorations already up.

Sounds like you made the best of it!

I’m generally good with seeing the X-mas stuff as long as it’s not up before Halloween.

Khajiit’s Halloween was pretty quiet. We had one trick or treater on Saturday night (that’s when the powers that be in our area decided to have trick or treat because we “can’t have any of that Devil stuff on Sunday! Rabble Rabble!”) at future Mr. and Mrs. Khajiit’s country abode. It was our neighbor from the next house over, who just happens to be the person who got Khajiit and future Mrs. Khajiit together! She has a little one and brought him over. He’s also going to be the ring bearer in our wedding!

Also carved two jack o’lanterns which I may have pics of later.

So; we have October, guys!


I'm currently watching the James and Mike Mondays Friday the 13th episode on youtube and also darkchiron's LP of VtM:B. I'll also watch the J&MM Ghouls and Ghosts for the SNES episodes later.


IF, and that is a big IF, I actually start another run of VtM:B myself, I'll let you guys know

Woohoo October! We had some spooky fun this passed Saturday with a themed engagement party for some friends of ours who are getting married soon.

So; we have October, guys!

Anyone gotten any trick and/or treaters?

[Acadian]

Nah, children are illegal in my neighborhood. That's why I live here.

[mirocu]

Well, I promise you there are no children in Ashen's Halloween Special 2022!

I have been watching the Hellraiser movies for the last few weeks for my Spooky October. I am up to the 7th movie. Boy, a lot of these are... not good. Pinhead is a great villain. The character design is great, Doug Bradley brings a really creepy vibe.

But the rest of the movies are just, lacking. The first movie is practically a porn. It is mostly just lots of sex. Then when you get to the middle ones, where they only barely have anything to do with Pinhead and the LeMerchant Box. I wonder if they were originally intended to be Hellraiser movies, or if some studio exec decided to put 2 minutes of Pinhead in them and call them Hellraiser films (like with 10 Cloverfield Lane). I have never seen the ones I am on now, so I have no idea if they are going to continue that or not.

I did see the new Hellraiser movie. It was ok. I liked how they reimagined Pinhead and the other Cenobites. In the originals, they had a real goth leather and rubber fetish outfit vibe to them (it was the 80s and 90s, and that was shocking back then). They got away from that, and it was more bare, self-mutilated flesh instead.

The story was interesting. They did more than just have a person open the box and terrible stuff happen to them. They put in some lore where if you sacrificed a certain number of people to the Cenobites, they would grant a wish. Naturally, their wishes turn out to be nightmares. The only way to win, is to reject them entirely.

Sounds a lot like Wishmaster.


"Whatever you do; don't make a wish!"

No tears please. It’s a waste of good suffering.

James and Mike Mondays - Friday the 13th the NES game


One of the very few Cinemassacre vids I still watch. This is a good one and I always watch it every October when I'm about to move back home again. Tomorrow another favourite video!

James and Mike Mondays - Super Ghouls and Ghosts for the SNES!

Without really thinking about it, I have been doing a Dracula fest. I started with Dracula 2000, which had Gerard Butler as the Count, and Jeri Ryan as one his wives. Then I did the Frank Langella version from the late 70s. After that I dipped into my old Universal films collection, and watched House of Frankenstein and House of Dracula, both from the 40s.

Of course I also did Dracula: Dead and Loving It. I forgot that was a Mel Brooks movie. At least that was funny. Stupid funny, but funny.

Really, a lot of not very good movies! Though Dracula 2000 had some interesting ideas, with Van Helsing keeping himself alive for a century by injecting himself with Dracula's blood, and Dracula himself being Judas, cursed to live as a vampire after he hanged himself.

Next up I am looking at doing a Hammer Films Dracula fest. All the Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing I can stand!

[mirocu]

Those were interesting movie ideas for sure. Liked the Van Helsing movie when it came out btw. Also the Kung Fu Abraham Lincoln was fun


Also also; Christopher Lee was awesome whenever he appeared on screen in whatever role he played

I remember Dracula 2000. The first time I saw it, I didn’t think much of it. The Judas angle was novel. Then I saw it a second time after having seen 300, and I was like “Holy crap! It’s the dude that plays Leonidas! As Dracula. Weird.” lol
