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.

Anyway, I like the one where Jason gets his hockey mask.

I haven’t seen all the movies from all those series, but my favorite from the Hellraiser series is the first one.

My favorite from Child’s Play is the first one as well.

Friday IV…Dead F..k…nuff said.

Chestnuts roasted by El Bang @ 09/27/2004 9:05 AM

I agree with Mr. Crepit – Friday the 13th VII rules – Tina should work on the whole "cryin jordache freak-girl who’s bad with explanations" thing. I liked all the Halloween flicks except for the ‘Curse of Michael Meyers’ – that one lost me. I remember seeing the first Hellraiser and getting bored before the broad could kill enough people to bring back the thing in the closet. Good movie tip: check out ‘The Entity’ – that movie scares me worse than my parents callin me to borrow money.

Crap, I’m 19 and that PSA STILL scares the bejebus out of me!!! The late 80s – early 90′s was a scary time for kids ad-wise! That Shriners ad with Bugs Bunny that you posted on here was pretty creepy, too! DAMN EVIL POTS!!!! Now I become paranoid whenever I’m cooking on the stove, constantly screaming at my boyfriend to "DON’T TOUCH THE DAMN STOVE, IT’S OOOOONNNNN!!!!!"

Chestnuts roasted by Sara @ 09/27/2004 9:14 AM

Yeah, the 80′s in general were frightening years for a kid to grow up in.

Especially for someone such as myself, who has clinically diagnosed phobias of neon hair scrunchies, blue-jean jackets, mullets, and that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles "Coming Out Of Our Shells" Live Tour.

*shivers*

When exactly is free cocaine day?

Chestnuts roasted by jhnnywalkr @ 09/27/2004 9:34 AM

Oh yes, I forgot all about The Entity. That movie scared the living hell out of me the first time I saw it. That’s a frighteneing concept, an intruder you can’t see, and apparently never see (I was too scared to watch the whole thing.) who comes in and attacks you whenever it wants.

Chestnuts roasted by Number 5 @ 09/27/2004 9:40 AM

If i’d seen THAT as a kid, i would’ve wanted to become a Snake-Man, jees, How cool is that???

Chestnuts roasted by Dr. Ugs @ 09/27/2004 9:44 AM

First off…Matt…good work on the Halloween articles….

Second, I am definitely going to be watching for that commercial…Since you have some pull at Nick now…tell them we need more Slime…can never have enough slime…and they need to bring back You Can’t do that on TV just for the resurgence of slime shampoo…can never have enough slime shampoo…

As for the horror franchises…

Friday the 13th: I would have to say Part III…that was the first one when he had the mask. Plus, even though its not in 3D anymore…its awesome to watch for the moments that were supposed to be in 3D…the poker that is pointed at the screen a little too long, for example…

Nightmare on Elm St.: although I love the 3rd one and the New Nightmare…I think the first one is the only one that stands up as a really excellent horror movie…

Halloween: I really love this franchise. I love part 2 and part 4 is extremely good…the niece storyline was excellent. I even loved the revenge of Michael Myers…after that, it all went to shit. Yeah, anyways, the first one is still the best though

Child’s Play: Now, this one goes the opposite of the Nightmare series for me. In nightmare, I would definiely go with #1, since its the scariest, but with CP, I gotta go with Bride of Chucky. That movie tickles me in a way that if Loretta tickled me that way, I would go oh baby, yeah, thats the spot…

Hellraiser…There are really only two to choose from here…after the second, the rest sucked. The first one is def the best though…genuinely scary, I thought…

This freaken PSA is burned into my memory for all eternity. It scared the living bejezus out of me as a kid. For all you non-NYers: did you see this PSA too? Or was is just meant to frighten NY’s children?

I grew up in Mass…and I saw that PSA…

Chestnuts roasted by Goody @ 09/27/2004 10:26 AM

Friday the 13th : The one starring Cory Feldmen .. AS DONETTELO! Woah man, sorry, I mean as some whacked out kid.

Nightmare on Elm St. : The one with Johnny Depp.

Hellraiser : The one that goes from France to SPACE!! Just great. Ah .. hahahaha.

Halloween : The one with Busta Rhymes!! WOO HA! Got you all in check foo’.

And overall. NONE. Because horror franchise movies SUCK.

READ A BOOK!

Chestnuts roasted by big lounging @ 09/27/2004 10:27 AM

My favourite Friday the 13th was the one with Corey Feldman wearing that bald cap. Which one is that, IV?

Halloween: I hated most of these movies, but I guess I hated the first one the least.

Nightmare: I didn’t see any of these until they had been out for like 15 years. Whichever one had the girl with the track marks turning into little suckers was the best one for me.

Child’s Play: Bride of Chucky, easily.

HellRaiser: Never seen a one. This vote would go to Evil Dead 2 if it could.

Nightmare on elm street 3

Chestnuts roasted by Jared @ 09/27/2004 11:29 AM

First time poster — also the premiere expert of 80′s cartoons and horror movies -
It’s Friday 13th parts 2 and 7 for the respective killing a kid in a wheelchair with a machete in the face and then showing him tumble down steep stairs and in pt 7 jason slams a girl into a tree in her sleeping bag (must’ve been popular cuz it was re-done in jason X)
Nightmare pt 1 was definitely the best, though kincaid yellin "take that you mother****" in pt 4 is classic and pt 3 was a superb movie all around as well (obviously the inspiration for the harry potter series)
Hellraiser 2 is an amazing flick, though Hellraiser as a whole is overrated by the cult followers
childs play one is pretty good — but I grew up with the kid who plays Andy so that takes a lot away from parts one and 2 and actually the rest of the series ( i was at the premiere of the first when I was 7 so it just wasnt scary)
Halloween 4 is soooo good but everyone seems to hate it. Part one is technically the best, but part two is great and part 4 is great. Ill have to say Mike was most brutal in pt 2 with the scolding water and the hammer to the security guy’s head.
Texas chainsaw pt 1 always great, but pt 2 with hopper is just a trip! doesnt make sense, isnt scary, and couldve been mroe violent… but its just so funny to see leatherface put that chainsaw by the girl’s thingy.

movies that shouldntve been made
nightmare 6
halloween 8
jason goes to hell, jason x
hellraisers after pt 3
texas next generation

I saw it once, and I live in Illinois, so it must’ve been national. I agree that Snake was jarring, but I got over him quick.
The one that REALLY scared me came years afterward. It showed a teenage girl snorting crack in her room, while a deadpan voiceover stated that the effect cocaine has on your brain is the same as drowning. And to drive the point home during all this, they show the girl’s room suddenly fllooding with water, slowly drowning her to death in an especcially horrible manner, and all the while the voiceover drones, "So when you think you’re sniffing, your brain thinks you’re drowining. And your brain is pretty much right."

Chestnuts roasted by TB Tabby @ 09/27/2004 11:59 AM

I definitely remember that one, but my favorite is still "Crack babies, Killin’ babies!"

Chestnuts roasted by marcus the carcass @ 09/27/2004 12:18 PM

I can remember going to the movies as a kid in the mid-to-late 80′s, and they’d used to have these little PSA’s that would come out before the movie, adressing the drug known as Crack.

All I can remember was that whoever they chose to speak to the audience just looked at the camera and said with dead-seriousness "Crack…can KILL you!" Then I think they showed a bottle of what I guess was crack, while this horrible sound, which sounded a lot like a distorted rapid heartbeat echoed through the theater. It scared the living hell out of me. Why the hell couldn’t they have kept that on TV I often wonder?

Chestnuts roasted by Number 5 @ 09/27/2004 12:29 PM

The first movies of each series, of course.

Then, from each one…

Dream Warriors, like Battle Beyond the Stars, they spend all this time to gather the fighters, and then decimate almost all of them.

New Blood, I liked the psychic girl. And voice-over actress Susan Bluwas in it.

Season of the Witch, I like to sing "X more days ’til Hallowe’en, Hallowe’en, Hallowe’en…"

The HellRaiser that took place on the space station. Like any horror franchise that ends up in space, it’s funnier in execution. (cue Al Bundy voice) tee-hee!

The CP at the military academy. "Chucky’s gonna be a Bro." But I like Tiffany from "Bride.

I remember SnakePusher. I love that PSA.

Dude… that wasn’t creepy, but then again, I thought that the dude looked like Remmy from "Sliders"… at least what I saw of him. I’m just not scared of Remmy!

What creeped me out were those CGI robots that bookended "Beakman’s World". They were only on the CBS and TLC airings, too.
BTW, Beakman can kick Bill Nye The Science Guy’s ass.

Teddy Ruxpin and the 90s DiC Kid-In-Bed logo freaked me out, too. Beware of the talking demonic bear.

I wonder if those of us living in Orlando are more likely or less likely to see Matt’s commercial, considering that we probably wouldn’t slap down money for a hotel in our own backyards. Hopefully by the time the hotel opens, hurricane season will be over and we’ll stop getting bitch-slapped over and over again…

Chestnuts roasted by purplegirl247 @ 09/27/2004 12:55 PM

Halloween-the first one
Child’s Play-the first one was the best by far.
Nightmare On Elm Street-probably the first one
Hellraiser-don’t like any of these movies.
Friday The 13th-can’t pick a favorite.

Usually the first movie in a series is alway’s the best.

Chestnuts roasted by Liz @ 09/27/2004 1:11 PM

Thank you, Matt. Not only have you given me the ability to watch this commercial and come to terms with my childhood demons, but you alluded to my one true goal in life: to write and direct a live action movie based on "Bad Dudes".

"This summer… Don’t get mad… Get *Bad*!"
