Here’s my review of Tales From The Darkside: The Movie. I absolutely love this flick. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor and head to the video store. Don’t wait for it to pop up on cable — it’s worth the rental. Hell, it’s worth buying. Halloween’s approaching, and this movie perfectly fits the mood. Meanwhile, the Countdown’s been updated with something you’re probably more interested in checking out than a movie review: The Battle of the Slashers! Freddy, Jason and Leatherface have a quick debate over which of ‘em is the top icon.
I think we’ve got time for one more article between now and Halloween, so I’ll try to make it as crazy ass seasonal as possible. I hope everyone got a kick out of the Countdown this year — judging from my stats, people were checking it out regularly enough to warrant another go-around next year. For what it’s worth, I had loads of fun with it. For the past month and a half, practically everywhere I went had the side agenda of searching for more Halloween crap, and it’s not like it wouldn’t have been like that normally, but now I had a reason. Yay. Wish I could’ve gotten a few more horror movie reviews up this month, but oh well — I’ll do those on any month, and the stuff on that Countdown was only good for now, obviously. Anyway, it’s been a pretty good month for the site, but you might be wondering what’s coming up now that Halloween is almost here. Oh boy. Next month is gonna be killer. Honestly, what’s lined up in terms of articles are topics I’m totally salivating over, and if I thought I was busy this month, November’s gonna be a real test. Suffice to say, I don’t think that anyone who regularly reads this site is going to be anything short of mega excited when the ball gets rolling, so stay tuned.

Even the worst 80’s memorial would be better then a lot of other programs on, but it was a little dissappointing. I esp. thought those Donal Logue segments weren’t that good. Some people had nothing really to say, such as The Donnas, whose entire spiel went some thing like this " if you didn’t have [blank] then you were nothing. They should have just given Micheal Ian Black the whole show. Great piece on Tales From the Darkside, it will undoubtedly be shown on UPN. Upon reading your work I have realized a few things a) Deborah Harry is still hot as a cannibal school marm.
b) Buster Poindexter cannot sing and the rest of the New York Dolls can’t play yet they hailed as one of the best glamour/punk bands ever? And speaking of Hogan he starred in the Nanny with him, as a villian with a metal head that hates noise.
c) the slasher layout was very funny and if anyone likes that then they might want to check out twisted toyfare theater.
