Freddy Krueger Costume / Jason DVDs.

Weekend warriors notwithstanding, those of you who haven't been here in a few days NEED to make sure you've checked some of the other articles I posted criminally late. Everything from pet costumes to Bo Knows to me wearing devil eyes and beyond. Today's entry on the Halloween Countdown kicks off a three-day series focused on slasher costumes 4 kidz, yo. First up, Freddy Krueger. I'm still listening to that album at every given opportunity, by the way.

Okay, so I don't know what some of them there people were talking about -- I LOVE the Friday the 13th DVD set. Really. It's not presented as on grand a scale as the Freddy set, but I think I can explain that one easily -- the people involved with Elm Street movies are generally higher up on the pole than the Jason crew. That said, most of the people involved with the F13 series show up here in extras or during commentaries, and that includes Mama Voorhees, whose contribution more or less consisted of "I hated being in this movie it was below me but man what a great thing it all was!" I love her anyway. I didn't get a chance to watch everything yet, but I'm pretty pleased. Like I said in an earlier post, I already own most of the movies on DVD. Commentaries, extras and a cool looking box was all that could satisfy me, and they won on all three counts. It's not as good as it could be, but few things are. Totally recommended.

Here's your obvious survey question: What are y'all doing for Halloween, anyways?

I can’t believe they finally released the box-set.

YES!

Oh yeah, for Halloween I’m going Trick or Treating with my friends, then going to a party.

not sure about halloween yet, but as for your article referencing mumbles
dick tracy much?

Chestnuts roasted by Lucy @ 10/17/2004 10:36 PM

That’s a lot of updates

I’m from New Jersey, I have a gut and a bit of body hair. So my Halloween costume will consist of:

- A bald cap.
- A fake mustache.
- A wife-beater.
- Blue sweatpants.
- A crappy gold chain.

Whether or not I wear a belt that grants me super powers based on Foreigner songs is up in the air.

I got it Matt.. the mumbles reference.. hehe.

All my friend laughed at me when I excitedly ran out and bought Dick Tracy on dvd the day it was released.

I think the youthfulness of the mask has something to do w/ your nephew’s long eyelashes. Maybe if he was wearing the white contact leses AND the mask, he might be able to pull "evil Freddy" off. Are you going to let him have one of the costumes for his trouble?

I’m working with my parents to throw a mild, child-based Halloween party. I’m in charge of the movies. I can’t use the classic slash and dash films. My choices? "Labrynth" and "The Witches."

The costume didn’t come with THE glove? That doesn’t make an ounce of sense.
As for Halloween, dress up on Friday for my students (who am I kidding, I just want to dress up) and then a family Halloween party. It’s what all the 25 year old teachers do….I guess.

I love me some Freddy costumes. There. I said it.

Chestnuts roasted by bdsghost @ 10/17/2004 11:24 PM

Hey I got it too. I also enjoyed dick tracy quite a bit, and was just quoting from it the other day.

My Halloween plans aren’t really based on halloween. My best friend just moved back to town after we had been apart for about 3 years. durring those three years each of us turned 21 separatly, and had really really really shitty 21st parties…so even though I’m 23 & he’s 22 we’re gonna be 21 for halloween (I think his wife may even go for us having a party)

Chestnuts roasted by brandon @ 10/18/2004 12:32 PM

Matt, I notice on the box it shows a glove and black stripes on the shirt. Did you get ripped off?

PS Your site rocks. I’m a long-time lurker, first-time poster. Post #13 talking about a Freddy costume…coincidence or deadly prophesy? I’m scared to sleep tonight…

Chestnuts roasted by HarryLerman @ 10/18/2004 12:52 PM

Hmm…

1. Kobe Bryant jersey
2. Freddy costume

Coincidence? I think not!

Keep up the good work Matt.

Semper Fi,

I will hopefully be sucking down some cold ones this halloween. I don’t know why I just don’t get into the whole dressing up part. I guess I’ll be "drunk guy" this year….just like the past years….sigh…….one of the biggest Halloween parties in the USA happens south of me in Athens, Ohio. The Halloween parade at Ohio University is fucking HUGE. I’ve only gone down there once and it was all I could handle. When you get that many drunk people in a relatively small area bad things tend to happen. Well if you have spare time Matt and and want a CRAZY Halloween bash to cover, make a trip down to Ohio University on October, 30 and see the craziness unfold.

Egging’s still cool! I’m going as the Egg-Man, From Paul’s Boutique.

"Frdididit, Frddydidit."

Nice. I always wanted one of those polar-bear-pissing water coolers.

Chestnuts roasted by jokun @ 10/18/2004 8:50 AM

Going to Chapel Hill dressed up like the crackhead/mugger from The 5th Element.

I figure it’ll be worth it if even 1 person gets it.

Chestnuts roasted by Bryan @ 10/18/2004 9:56 AM

costume party in lindenhurst. mulcaheys in wantagh also has a good costume party that weekend.

Chestnuts roasted by mikey @ 10/18/2004 9:57 AM

I didn’t even see the survey. I’m going to take a late night walk out of town with a friend,while discussing meaningless philosophy, as is the tradition for my halloween.

Chestnuts roasted by Andrew_the_stroud @ 10/18/2004 10:00 AM

My problem with the boxed set is that I would’ve liked to have seen the unrated versions, since virtually every movie in the series had a ton of stuff cut out in order to get the R rating. If I didn’t know that there were discs in other regions with the unrated version of (at least) the first movie, I probably wouldn’t mind so much.

Chestnuts roasted by Ubu Rex @ 10/18/2004 10:03 AM

I will be masterbating and handing out candy… But not in that order…

Trick or Treat.

Chestnuts roasted by spazzamatic @ 10/18/2004 10:13 AM

I’ll be wishing there was a party for me to go to that didn’t involve either a fraternity or a sorority. Then I’ll probably make up a costume with what I have in my closet, wear it around all day but not go anywhere interesting, and go to bed early. Yay for me!

Chestnuts roasted by Mara @ 10/18/2004 10:28 AM

Ubu — on the extras disc they do show you a lot of the uncut stuff, side by side with the theatrical releases.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 10/18/2004 10:33 AM

Matt: Thanks for the heads up. I didn’t remember seeing that when I read the extras list, but that was a fairly long time before they came out, so maybe I should take another look.

I don’t really know who I think I’m kidding. I’ll be buying it eventually anyway…
