Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Here's this year's spooky finale: a look at the scariest house in history, with dozens of horror icons immortalized as costumed mannequins, tons of bloody rubber heads, and even a few feet-eating alligators. We're currently fending off scores of trick-or-treaters with Almond Joys and Butterfingers. I'm about to bring the Countdown up to date, so if you're one of the poor souls without much to do tonight, check back later for some last drips of horrifying fun. Have a good one!

You stupid flesh creatures thinkin that other dead flesh creatures are scrary…
I’ll tell you what’s scary, Megatron with morning wood.
And I’ll tell you what’s even scarier, when Megatron has morning wood at five in the afternoon!
Kinda gives a new meaning to having an itchy trigger finger.

I don’t have much to do… Flipping between Halloween IV and Clue. I am dressed as the naughty school girl, hopeful later as the drunk hopped up on sugar school girl.

The halloween article was great. That house rocks dirty socks. A house here in KC not only has an animated graveyard, but if you turn your radio to a certain station near the house, you can hear a recording describing the various scenes. Have a great halloween you freaks. I’m going to be "Nathan Wind as Cochise."

Yea no one else is going to get it either, but I will be too drunk to care.

i’ve chosen to be the jolly green giant this year. got the green tights, the green slippers, made a leaf shirt out of cut up garbage bags. think i’m getting an allergic reaction to the body paint though. i look like an absolute idiot, a green idiot with a rash.

Congrats on a job well done with the Countdown, Matt.

Tomorrow morning, grab as much of the half-off candy as you can from your local Wal-Mart. You’ve earned it.

Lame way to end the countdown ? I don’t think so. It’s pure magic, sir !

Reading this while simulatiously watching "Army of Darkness" made my Halloween for sure. Well, that and Skeletor standing on top of my screen. He’s my buddy.

Happy Halloween Matt! Happy Halloween X-E!

Congratulations on making it just about all the way through the countdown. Right now it’s complete till the 28th, but I have faith that the final days will be filled in soon. Great work on it by the way, it’s been fantistic!

I’m spending my Halloween with a movie marathon that’ll probably keep me up till six in the morning. Alfred Hitchcock and Boris Karloff all the way, man!

Hey, Matt, while I’m thinking about it, what ever happened to the X-E store?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

I’m a little sad tonight folks…for one I’m sitting at home because my boy and I had a huge fight today and broke up…and then I went and watched The Great Pumpkin. I went out and got cheesies, chocolate and Welch’s grape juice drinkin’ boxes for the event…which was a flop. I hadn’t seen it for many years, and I suppose I blocked out the whole Snoopy sub-plot. What the hell is with the scene with him and the piano??? There were a few good moments, like 10 dancing hearts suddenly appearing around Sally when she sees lonely Linus in the patch…and watching those few loose cheesies fly into lucy’s sack (yes, loose cheesies), but for the most part it was bunk. I’m gunna go get drunk That rhymed

Lame ending? *Hell*, no. Lame is Tawianese inflatable three-ghosts-in-a-pumkin statues. Lame is the garbage bag witch crashed into a tree. This? This took EFFORT. I salute you, nameless suburban family!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN KIDDIES!

It’s a sad one for me folks…big fight with my boy and now I’m sitting at home on fun night. My ladies are at the Cher concert tonight (where they hope to pick up men…seriously) and I just watched Charlie Brown get a bag full of rocks. My favourite part is when someone chucks a few loose cheesies into Lucy’s bag. Yep…just 2 or three. Loose. I was so excited that it was on, but all the stupid snoopy parts are bunk. I’m gunna get drunk. That rhymed

Chestnuts roasted by Applesauce @ 10/31/2003 7:19 PM

Well, it just keeps getting better. I didn’t think my first post worked, so I re-wrote the fucking thing and then there it is

Chestnuts roasted by Applesauce @ 10/31/2003 7:21 PM

great post but I think the scariest house of all time is the one Webster lived in after he burned down his apartment making crystal meth, remember that episode when they moved in and it was haunted by that creepy doll and they found out a clown lived in the basement, I still have nightmares about that episode

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Now that I have that out of the way, I must say it’s nice to see someone still has the halloween spirit out there. I sure as heck don’t, heh. We probably won’t even get any trick or treaters tonight. But, hey, more candy for me!

Those guys in the article remind me of an old couple living around here. They always decorate their lawn more elaborately then anyone else, partly because they are old and retired, and partly because their lawn is almost as big as Texas. It’s not just halloween, either. They go all out for EVERY holiday. I mean, Easter, Thanksgiving, July 4th, you name it, they deck it out. It’s just wonderful. I’ll be sad when they get too old to do it anymore.

Hey Matt, this is just a friendly suggestion, but have you ever thought about a digital camera? I mean, I know you take a lot of pictures for this site, and with one you wouldn’t have to worry about some of them turning out crappily. You’re making the big bucks from X-E, right?

Chestnuts roasted by evan @ 10/31/2003 8:30 PM

Most pics on this site are from a digital camera. I do need a new one though, as for high quality images, I’m only alloted like 16 or so. For things like the Halloween House, where I need 100 pics, I have to set it to low, and the end result is…well, crappy pics.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 10/31/2003 8:50 PM

Happy Halloween! I’m wearing a lame bunny costume. Nobody is comming to my house and it is really lame. These kids now a days.

Chestnuts roasted by pikachulover @ 10/31/2003 8:53 PM

They need badges for people willing to put this much effort into Halloween. I hope everyone scored well! I scored…nuttin’. My parents bought me TWO 112-piece bags. I’m getting fatter, and scarier. It’s Halloween.
Way to make October the scariest month of the year, Matt. I humble at thee. Boo! Fare thee well.

Chestnuts roasted by Armagideon Time @ 10/31/2003 8:54 PM

You did it! You redeemed yourself and the fans! Props for ending my favorite holiday on the right note. You are THE one Matt. Happy Halloween!

Chestnuts roasted by Justice @ 10/31/2003 9:17 PM

There is a house in my town that does that…full on creppy castle and everything. It rules. I’m stuck at work on Halloween this year though.
