The Jumping Boo!

by -RoG- on 10/27/2008, 5:01 am

What the hell?

Ah cheap Halloween novelties. Sure, they're a dime a dozen around this time o' year, but every now 'n then you'll find something that was worth every penny of that whopping dollar you spent. I picked up this "Jumping Boo" and "Jumping Bat" set from the local Halloween Adventure seasonal shop and boy am I ever glad I did. At first glance, you'd think they're your basic toys that leap into the air when you give the hand-pump a squeeze. Well, yeah, they are... no doubt about that. The bat in particular is nothing we haven't seen before, but what about that other creature? Just what in the hell is a "Boo" anyway? (more...)

Dr. Giggles Splattrax With I-Mockery Coming Soon! Get The DVD Pronto!

by -RoG- on 10/24/2008, 10:39 am

Dr. Giggles - buy the DVD and then listen to our Splattrax commentary while watching it next week!

Just a quick head's up... I'm sure a bunch of you recall when I recorded a Splattrax for the 1988 remake of "The Blob" last Halloween season with my pal Mike over at Dread Central. Well, we really had a lot of fun doing it, so we're recording a new one for this Halloween and I thought I would tell you in advance so you can buy the DVD and have it by the time our commentary track mp3 goes live. This time, we've opted to go with Dr. Giggles, which was one of my favorite horror-comedy slashers back in high school. It stars Larry Drake (Darkman, Dark Night of the Scarecrow) as a psychotic wannabe doctor who escapes from a mental institution, kills people in hilarious ways and giggles as frequently as you and I breathe.

I was really happy when it was re-released on DVD in September of 2007, because the original DVD (which I still proudly own) had been out of print since 2001 and I thought it was a shame that this classic had slipped under many people's radars. Trust me, whether you download our Splattrax or not, this is a flick that needs to be in every horror fan's collection. I've seen it in Best Buy many times, but it's also on sale on Amazon.com right now for a measly $6.49, so I'd suggest ordering it from them pronto if you can't find it at a local retailer. We're planning on recording the track over the weekend, so you can expect to see it online sometime early next week. As Dr. Giggles would say, "Laughter is the best medicine."

Crank Mob’s Halloween Ride. Plus, The New Friday The 13th Teaser Trailer.

by -RoG- on 10/23/2008, 4:23 am

Tell me if you've heard this one... a Ninja, a Judge, and the Greatest American Psycho walk into a bar...

So this past Saturday night, I went out for the Halloween Crank Mob ride with some friends. It was just like the other bicycle rides we've done, only a bunch of us were in full costumes this go around. I decided to combine a few things to become "The Greatest American Psycho". Actually, I just wanted an excuse to buy a shiny gold Jason Voorhees mask. Seriously, can a person ever really own too many golden Voorhees masks? I think not. Anywho, I considered it a very successful ride in that I didn't kill myself while riding a bike in the middle of the night while wearing a hockey mask. Who needs peripheral vision when you're riding a bike in a completely ridiculous costume? You haven't truly lived life until you've chosen fun over safety and common sense at least once or twice.

Not too surprisingly, I ran into another Voorhees during the Halloween ride... (more...)

SpikeTV’s “Scream 2008″ Awards Show.

by -RoG- on 10/21/2008, 4:05 am

Spike TV's 2008 Scream Awards. The only awards show that gives you a weapon to stab people with if you win.

So the other day Spike TV invited me to come out to their 2008 Scream Awards show and who was I to say no to that? If you haven't seen it before, it's a fun awards show that pays tribute to our favorite side of Hollywood: Horror / Sci-Fi / Comic Book / Action movies. As I was crammed in with the rest of the press on the red carpet, I spoke with a variety of entertainment personalities who were nice enough to stop by for a chat. People such as Jess Weixler, James Remar, Anna Walton, Amanda Righetti, Marilyn Manson, Seann William Scott, and the legendary Stan Lee. Hit the jump to see our footage from the red carpet...

Noggin Bops “Spookies” Rule!

by -RoG- on 10/17/2008, 11:18 am

Noggin Bops just might be the best Halloween wind-up toys EVER.

I've always been a sucker for spooky wind-up toys, and I'm sure many of you remember the Harbingers of Bad Luck from a few years ago. Well, take just one look at the new toys pictured above and I'm sure you'll agree that they're among the greatest Halloween wind-ups ever created. They're called "Spookies" and are a part of the Noggin Bops wind-up toys series. And man oh man, do these things bop with the best of 'em as you'll see shortly. But first, I need to introduce you to each character.

The vampire is "Drac". The monster is "Frankenhead". The pumpkin is "Jack-O-Bop". The skeleton is "Skully". The mummy is "Wrapper". There's also a witch named "Cackle" but I haven't found her in stores... yet. Ok, now that you've all met, I'd like to share my lil' Noggin Bops "Spookies" Halloween tribute video where these toys show off just how well they can bop to a good tune. (more...)

Crayola’s BOO-Licious Brownie Kit.

by -RoG- on 10/16/2008, 3:51 am

Are you hungry for some Halloweeny treats with an artistic flair? You're in luck, because Re is back to report on her experience with Crayola's new "Boo-Licious Brownie Kit". Take it away Re!

Who wants to eat some crayons?

Rog and I found this brownie kit at Target and I decided to give it a try since, as I said in my last post, I'm trying to be devilishly domestic this Halloween season. The kit seemed fun enough and I thought it looked like it would be pretty easy to do. (more...)
