How do
those other Nerve bloggers celebrate Halloween? Strangely, it’s not too
different from every other day around here…
• Tired of
all the Thriller videos out there? (Even the Filipino prisoners have moved on
to the mambo.) Scanner’s moved on to Hot Blood’s 1977 freak-out Soul
Dracula. Yes, Scanner Bryan, it is
“a steaming bowl of awesome.”
Also: Do not eat the peanut butter crystal
meth! Do buy Scanner the Freddie
Mercury doll. And Contest of the Day: who’s the hottest
Hollywood horror victim? If you take a stab at it (mwa-ha-ha), you might
win a very special prize.
• Speaking
of horror films, Screengrab applauds and is astounded by Noel Murray’s Year-By-Year
with Friday the 13th. If you ever wanted to know, for example,
that “1984's Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter dates itself with
"a hospital orderly [who] watches a jazzercise video” or that by 1986,
"the boys look like Bruce Springsteen and the girls look like either
Madonna or Lisa Bonet” then check out this Jasonology.
Also, get to know “That
Gal!” Linda
Hunt; she may have won her Academy Award for playing a man, but she’s one
hell of a woman. And if cross-dressing isn’t Halloween-y enough for ya, check
out Aliens
versus Predators…in a sporting goods department.
• The Nerve Video
Blog celebrates Halloween with multiple versions of Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin:
which is better, the original
or the re-dub
(best line: “sit your bony ass down”)?
Also, dancing with Ghoul-a-Go-Go,
linguistic lessons (literally) with a sexy
European schoolmarm and home videos featuring exploding
pumpkins. Best line? “Dad, you’re on fire.”
