Evil Snake Anti-Drug PSA, Nickelodeon, and Dumb Survey #12010.

It's been over two years since his last appearance on X-E, but now, Evil Snakeman Drug Dealer is BACK! The scariest anti-drug public service announcement I've ever seen felt like it deserved a spot on the Halloween Countdown. Yeah, it's a bit of a rehash for longtime readers, but this time, you can download the ad and watch the evil madness for yourself. Ssseriousssly, this was creepy stuff to see during the cartoon block after school.

And for those who asked, my first commercial for Nickelodeon is a spot for the upcoming Nick Hotel in Orlando -- it's a real short one, probably no more than fifteen seconds. I don't have any specific air times, but it should be playing often enough for the next few weeks starting tomorrow. Not that they're reading, but I'd like to thank the great people I work with for making this massive transition and learning experience so much easier for me. Great folks. Anyway, watch SpongeBob or something tomorrow/today. Lemme know if you catch it.

New Survey: Okay, pick any or all of these horror franchises, and name your favorite film from each series: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween, Hellraiser and Child's Play. Feel free to give reasons for your picks so the comments won't look like a giant order form. I'll post my own tomorrow.

Matt, you’re right on the $$ in regards to Child’s Play 2. I love that f’n movie. It’s meant to be scary, but it’s so f’n hilarious. Chucky sabotaging the paint gun war was classic. Remember, Chucky "is your friend to the end…Hidey-Ho…Ha,Ha,Ha!!!"

it would HAVE to be from "greater new york"…

Yeah, chucky actually seems funny. The sad thing is that their was this big ass poster of chucky outside of my tae kwon do place for a while, and it scared the shit out of me. Not to mention the fact that the local spencer’s still has the life-size chucky doll from a while back. IF you can, watch the trailer for the new chucky movie. Hilarious. I think he kills britney spears.

Interesting commercial there. Personally, I think the ones that emphasize that drugs are dangerous are the best ones. I have never used street drugs myself because it was drilled into my head from an early age that they could make you sick or even kill you. Those are the kinds of commercials we should show, like the famous "This is your brain on drugs" spot with the fried egg. Anyone remember the one that ran on ABC Saturday mornings in the 80s that went: "Getting into drugs and being high is stupid thing to do. Being in control and saying no is just the easiest thing to do. Be an original. Take a stand and agree to say no. You got a right to say no!" That was a cool 80s commercial with guys in sunglasses and 80s clothes telling me to stay away from drugs.

To be honest, I don’t like most anti-drug commercials these days. Like that one with the mother strictly enforcing punishment on her son by forcibly preventing him from leaving the house, watching TV, using the phone, playing video games, etc. Personally, I found that very hokey. We ought to bring back the 80s drug commercials or maybe even have the Crying Indian do a a spot.

Oh my god….I remeber Snake from the PSA and my resulting long-tearm nightmares! I still think that is the scaryiest damn thing I have EVER seen (and I’am a die-hard horror fan too) Not a good PSA for a little catholic school-girl to see but still probibly the coolest PSA ever.

(even if it doses still make me cry)

Friday the 13th: Definately the 4th one
Nightmare:Gotta stick with the 1st. Before freddy movies turned comedy
Halloween:Not a big fan but I’d have to say the 4th
Hellraiser:Definately Hellbound! You can’t beat the part when the doctor hands the insane man on the mattress a straight razor!
Child’s Play: The first for quality. The rest were ok but very cheesy.

YES! Finally, one of the fabled PSAs from the PSA article. Now all you need to do is post Crack Babies Killin Babies Oh Lordy Lord and I can die a happy man.

Speaking of scary PSAs, I’ve always been uite interested in them. I’d like to find more, someday. Although that commercial for Viper locks that came on late at night with the CG viper coming out of nowhere always kinda freaked me out as a kid.

Chestnuts roasted by Teirusu @ 09/28/2004 11:14 PM

its sad,but i think seeing that commercial as a child made me more afraid of urban blacks than of drugdealers.

i didnt know what the heck that dude was talking about..weed?crack? i was 5 years old.

Chestnuts roasted by LyricalPharaoh @ 09/29/2004 12:10 PM

Wow, I thought no one else remembered this. I used to have nightmares of the Snake guy. I was so distraught that I actually forced myself to "fight back" in the dreams and basically insult the Snake guy until he went away. Sounds a bit weird, but it’s absolutely true. I had to have been 8 or so at the time.

I’m still scared to download it and watch it again, but I’ll give it a try sometime.

Chestnuts roasted by Amy @ 09/29/2004 1:56 AM

I can’t believe you didn’t mention anything about COBRA COMMANDER’S albeit less gradual transformation to a snake!

Chestnuts roasted by James @ 09/29/2004 8:43 PM

Hey, I forgot to ask this question – does anyone think there are any scary PSAs out today?

Chestnuts roasted by Sara @ 09/30/2004 1:05 AM

Whoa, that commercial is freaky!

Chestnuts roasted by Anna @ 10/01/2004 3:49 PM

So, what exactly IS the commercial? I probably won’t recognize it unless I know what I’m looking for.

Chestnuts roasted by Gooper Blooper @ 10/02/2004 12:24 PM

PSA’s are freaky. I’m 12 years old (Does it matter? I’m very smart around the 80′s for my age.)
and I was freaked out by a commercial I saw about 2 years ago. I didn’t know much about drugs back then, and there was this commercial with a cute little girl talking about how breathing in cigarette smoke causes cancer. Throughout the commecial there was sillouettes
breathing in smoke. In the style of 80′s PSAs, she says something like "You don’t smoke, do you?"
Scared the bajeezus out of me because My dad and my brother (now 26) both smoke.

Chestnuts roasted by Charlie @ 10/02/2004 3:15 PM

Write-in!: Evil Dead. Though I used to like Halloween a lot.

Chestnuts roasted by Zoghade @ 10/03/2004 1:08 AM

I never seen that commercial… creepy.

NOES-1

FT13- I liked 3 because if it weren’t for it, Jason would still be a mutated sack wearing hillbilly instead of a freak in a hockey mask. Oh yeah, and I’m good friends with the lady who played the main girl in that movie,Dana Anderson (Kimmel). I live right by her.

hr- didn’t care for the series except for part 1.

cp- 1 was good and bride of chucky ruled.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre- 1, 2, and the remake.

BTW, Does anyone remember the PSA of the teenage guy on the couch with a girl, the girl smokes a cigarete says "kiss me!" then her face turns into a brown gremlin thing with hair then she goes "GRAAAAW"? That ad scared the shit out of me for years!

Chestnuts roasted by Jimmeh Lykes Cookehs @ 10/03/2004 7:50 AM

Friday the 13th.: 4, The Final Friday

Chestnuts roasted by Shugga @ 10/09/2004 1:19 PM

I knew what was coming while watching snake, But that was really quick.

Although the morph from man to snake weren’t as scary as I though, But still the concept is very good and they should play that ad over here in the UK, Or something similar

Chestnuts roasted by Lee @ 10/19/2004 8:29 AM

Oh god, I remember this PSA a little too clearly. I’m glad you’ve given me the opportunity to go back and face it, because now I see how terribly cheesy it is.
