Gross party favors, Mr. Peanut’s car and a survey.

Today on the Halloween Countdown, "Grosser Than Gross" Party Favors! Six bucks for a well organized clump of fake vomit, oozing bugs and other disgusting fun stuff.

By the way, I can't believe how much stuff I've already found for the Countdown. I'm actually at a surplus point. Don't remember it being so easy last year. I'm now up to eight different Halloween cereals (we've covered three already), but the real insanity was realizing that I've collected four different kinds of Halloween yogurt. I don't know what I'd do without this excuse to buy every pumpkin-graced piece of shit in sight...so much fun. Speaking of fun, I ran into Mr. Peanut's Nut Mobile today.

SPOOKY Survey: Not just a normal survey mind you yes. Okay, you're throwing a Halloween party. Nothing fancy...you're just having some people over, maybe in costumes, maybe not. There's a stormy forecast for the night, so if the party busts you can't blame the weather for setting improper tone. Your job: pick out five movies that'll haunt your guests, and one spooky activity so you don't all feel like you just sat around watching movies all night. OK GO.

scream
the ring
the sixth sense
seven
critters (the original)

Chestnuts roasted by Melissa @ 09/20/2004 10:49 PM

I’ll choose not to make a pointless comment by stating my place in line.

:-) hooray!

* Night of the living dead (the remake its really good actually)

* Taking Lives

* Thirteen Ghosts

* Gothika

* Dawn of the dead (once again, the newest one. its AMAZING.)

and as for a game, i’d have to recommend a game called ’7 deadly sins’ and its like an adult version of truth, and you can play with up to 21 people, and i actually used it for my back up plan incase my outdoor cowboy party got ruined from the hurricane.

"it’s also a thousand times oilier, to the point where I felt criminal not masturbating immediately after handling it."

classic. And the scary activity maybe?

Chestnuts roasted by jono @ 09/20/2004 10:59 PM

Dawn of the Dead, the new one just cause its awesome

The Evil Dead (my personal fav horror movie)

Halloween

Scream (yes Ralph, perfect movie for this)

The Excorcist (scares the crap out of everyone)

game: MONOPOLY!

Chestnuts roasted by ANdrew @ 09/20/2004 11:01 PM

shivers
the blob
evil dead
exorcist
rosemary’s baby

for a game, i’d have to go with a halloween-themed version of pictionary.

Chestnuts roasted by candice @ 09/20/2004 11:19 PM

I want to know more about the 7 deadly sins game. Please tell me how to play.

Chestnuts roasted by mindsuckr @ 09/20/2004 11:23 PM

My own:

- Friday The 13th Part IV
- Elm Street III
- Evil Dead 2
- TCM (especially if we’ve got some newbies)
- Ghostbusters (..put on at the point in the night where everyone wants to be home but lacks the sobriety to get there)

And probably The Worst Witch, skipped forward to you-know-what-part.

Game: Dungeonmaster. I’ll give you the rules someday. It’s like the Asshole dice game, tho.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 09/20/2004 11:30 PM

I’m making everyone bring their own movies.
Then we get more of a selection and the chance to mock people’s bad taste.

Spooky activiy: "Spin the bottle with Harry Herpes" and I’m going to have a pinata filled with live worms, fake blood, and some dismembered body parts.
Great G-Rated fun.

Chestnuts roasted by red @ 09/20/2004 11:31 PM

For a doctor, Dr. Mad really doesn’t pay much attention to hygiene…

Chestnuts roasted by Bob Goatse @ 09/20/2004 11:32 PM

The Nightmare Before Christmas
The Ring
Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes
Return Of The Killer Tomatoes
Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde (horrifying)

Okay, so I’m not a horror movie buff.

And then we’ll all play Zombies Ate My Neighbors on the SNES (just bought it the other day), Rampage on NES, Eternal Darkness on Gamecube, or, if I decide to ever buy it, The Typing of the Dead on Dreamcast. Yeah, I’m a game nut.

On an unrelated note, yay me for finally picking a name I may or may not be consistent with when posting. No thieving.

Chestnuts roasted by John who henceforth shall be RoboLogna when commenting @ 09/20/2004 11:32 PM

Evil Dead
A Nightmare On Elm Street
Nightmare 3: Dream Warriors
Dawn of the Dead
Creepshow (1 or 2.. or both)

Activity? Hmm.. Quarters? That way you could just make rules to go with the movie along the way.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt (#2?) @ 09/20/2004 11:33 PM

Damn, forgot Timesplitters 2 with all zombies, or perhaps Doom. Or, if someone else brings them, the Darkstalkers games. Think I’m done now.

Chestnuts roasted by RoboLogna @ 09/20/2004 11:35 PM

Ok that’s the second day in a row my post was deleted. Is it my computer?

Chestnuts roasted by Mr King @ 09/20/2004 11:53 PM

Um, okay… what would I watch?

…

Sorry, it just takes me a minute to get into this new mindset, of having friends, I mean.

Um… okay, here’s a list of five films I wouldn’t object to picking:

* Jacob’s Ladder (absolutely)

* Dawn of the Dead (the remake… I was suprised how good it turned out. What the Resident Evil movie SHOULD have been.)

* Dracula (come on, give him his props, he’s DRACULA)

* Silence of the Lambs / Red Dragon (and none of that "Manhunter" crap either… yes I’ve seen it, and I like CSI too, but give me a break)

* Silent Hill (to accomplish this I would need to finish my time machine, go into the future two or three years, buy the movie and return to my own time… but how would HAVING it in the present affect the future? Dun-dun-DUH!)

I guess that’s technically five, but since one of my choices won’t exist for a few more years, I’ll add:

* Dolls (a SciFi Channel classic! Two middle fingers way up!)

Chestnuts roasted by Night_Trekker @ 09/21/2004 12:15 PM

Movies (without having read your guys’, wouldn’t want to use ideas not genuinely mine):

The Ring
Incubus (Shatner version)
The House on Haunted Hill (only if it’s really storming)
Dead Alive (My personal favorite)
The Lost Boys (not because it’s spooky, just because I love it)

And for the spooky activity, I’ll have to go with that 90210 Twister Matt reviewed a while back.

Chestnuts roasted by Mara @ 09/21/2004 12:21 PM

wait, screw House on Haunted Hill, I just remembered in full detail how much that movie actually sucked. I’m replacing it with Unsane.

Has anyone here seen that? I’ve never encountered anyone who has seen it (except the friend who introduced me to it), but it might be random enough for this site.

Chestnuts roasted by Mara @ 09/21/2004 12:25 PM

Night of the Living Dead
Friday the 13th part IV
A Nightmare on Elm Street
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
and finish it off with good old
Halloween
The game we would play is called
"Eat candy and drink alcohol until you feel so sick you wish you were dead"

Chestnuts roasted by Buster @ 09/21/2004 1:15 AM

Five Movies:

Rocky Horror Picture Show
Young Frankenstein

Wait a minute… That’s it. I don’t like most horror movies anyway.

Spooky Activity: Well, last year I went to an Organ recital with a bunch of people. They played "Ride of the Valkyries (sp?) and other "Spooky" pieces.

Chestnuts roasted by Cameron T. @ 09/21/2004 1:45 AM

Five Movies

Night of the Living Dead (classic)
Poltergeist
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
Scream
The Shining

Activity….Heavy Drinking

Chestnuts roasted by Craig @ 09/21/2004 2:19 AM

1. The Nightmare Before Christmas
2. Bram Stoker’s Dracula
3. Interview with the Vampire (I’ll jump at any chance to watch my DVD :) )
4. From Hell
5. A Nightmare on Elm Street movie – I forget which ones are which. It’s been too long.

Activity – I would bust out my old board game titled "Nightmare" that I forced my family to play *once* with me when I was little… It was weird, and had a video tape you watch as you play. You were supposed to turn up the tv all the way so it would scare everyone to death when the "gatekeeper" came on. I think they have a revamped version of this out called "Atmosfear" that I saw at work… I’ll have to check it out.

Chestnuts roasted by Ryane @ 09/21/2004 2:31 AM

Movie 1: Evil Dead (A must!)
Movie 2: House on Haunted Hill (for a lark, it’s almost scary, right?)
Movie 3: Thirteen Ghosts (Sometimes you’ve got incorperate ‘Hollywood Horror’, and this is the scariest piece of hollywood crap I’ve ever seen.)
Movie 4: Night of the Living Dead (’68 version, an oldie but a goodie.)
Movie 5: Dawn of the Dead (It can’t be halloween without, can it?)

Activity:
Pop Silent Hill into the ol’ PS2, and pass the controler.
Nothing says Halloween in my book, than a classic survival horror game, that is remembered as being the scariest of the series.

Chestnuts roasted by Jay @ 09/21/2004 3:15 AM

Movies:
1. a random Scream – Just to start things off with something popular

2. Motel Hell – Pig mask and chainsaw! Joe Bob Briggs is great!

3. Troll 1 or 2 – Whichever had the baseball at the end, scared the hell out of me as a kid.

4. Leperachaun in the Hood – Ice T’s in it, so terrible it’s scary.

5. Nothing – Everyone would leave after I put the last one on.

Activity:
Dodging things people threw at me for playing Leperachaun in the Hood.

Chestnuts roasted by Trampus @ 09/21/2004 4:13 AM

#1: Brain Dead (think it was called Dead Alive in the US)
#2: Meet the Feebles (scary dirty muppets *shudders*)
#3: Evil Dead
#4: Bad Taste
#5: Dawn of the Dead

Activity: A board game called Ghost House. You had to drop a glow in the dark skull through a coffin which would in turn set of booby traps around the house KILLING YOU. Mwahahaha (does anyone else remember this game or was it another of my childhood nightmares?)
