The year was 1992. I loved playing with the family camcorder to make films with my old toys. Skeletor & He-Man starred in a bunch of videos. Halloween was my favorite time of year. I would put on a mask and make my own little “Fan Film”. I don’t think I actually ever watched a […]
I love Halloween. I’ll be the first one to say that I’m ready to decorate right after Labor Day. Some would say it’s too early, but not for me. If you go into a store in early September, they’ll be clearing out the pencils and books for Skeletons, Pumpkins, and candy. Our story starts with […]
It seems these days, many products are becoming “Halloween-ized”. Some change their product completely for the season. For example, York Peppermint Patties changed their round shape into a bat shape, and renamed them to York Peppermint Batty. Other products, just change their packaging. They’ll add a pumpkin or put their character in a Halloween Costume. […]
At Sams Club, I picked up a huge box of 42 fruit snacks. At this time of year, they carry Halloween fruit snacks instead of the normal Lego Snacks. There’s nothing really exciting about these, except for the fact they have Halloween shapes. Wow! These things are very good. These are probably some of the […]
In the Fall of 1999, the band, AFI released their EP tribute to the season. The EP is called “All Hallows EP”. With only 4 songs, you wouldn’t think this thing is worth the price of admission, but it is. I was one of the lucky few who pre-ordered the thing from Nitro in early […]
Sticking with the Halloween theme. I’d like to introduce you to one of the most innovative bands of all time, The Misfits. Unfortunately, for me, I was too young to have been listening to the Misfits when the original lineup was around. When I got to Junior High, I do recall a few kids at […]
This weekend, I made a trip to Sams. Mostly, to laugh at the insanely huge jars of Baked Beans & Mayonnaise. (who really needs that much mayo?!) Anyway, to my surprise, Sam’s Club has also started stocking a few Halloween items: from their 25 pound bags of candy to the 6 foot tall creepy talking […]
Well, it’s been a long Halloween season, but it’s over. Now we have to look forward to the Christmas season. Although, halfway through October, most of the stores had Christmas decor taking the place of Halloween. Here in St. Louis, an All Christmas radio station came on there air about 3 weeks ago called “Holiday […]
Okay, after years of waiting. I bring you half-assed tv: episode 2. This episode is all Halloween related stuff. I tried to keep it short and sweet to keep on YouTube. Included in this episode you’ll see some “spooky” skits, an incomprehensible commercial, death, a halloween costume DIY project, etc…. The only problem is a […]
Since it’s getting close to Halloween, I figured I’d start posting some “Halloween-ish” posts. First some updates: HATV is a little behind schedule. It will be complete next week before Halloween. I’m having a Halloween party this weekend, and I wanted to shoot some video there. Stuff looks good on paper, I’ll see how it […]
