X-E’s Halloween Countdown: 2005!

Has anybody seen my tambourine?

And we're off! X-Entertainment's 2005 Halloween Countdown starts now, already stuffed with four articles in a growing archive that will be added to every weekday from now until Halloween -- plus some weekends if you're lucky. We've got popcorn balls, the return of the Ghost With The Most, a spooky version of Mr. Potato Head, and an early-posted entry for Monday about Epoch's 1982 electronic Dracula game. What's next? You'll see!

We're also pulling the soul out of one of the site's Christmas traditions with the first annual Halloween Jukebox, crammed with dozens of spooky songs, movie themes and instrumentals that'll stream for hours with just one click. Big thanks to sporadic X-E audio engineer Tummi for finding, arranging and normalizing each file. He'll be adding more songs in the coming weeks! And thanks to Brian for the swank toxic sludge Countdown section on the main page!

I'm exhausted, I've got work to do for tomorrow, and I'm sick of this chair. Go read, enjoy, and stay tuned for more and more and more and more updates! Happy friggin' Halloween.

I was at the mall yesterday with my girlfriend. We happend on a Spencers (directories involved) to look at the halloween items. She is a halloween fan, but more in the spiritual sense(cue Nightmare Before Xmas music). After a family of 12 cleared the doorway we entered and I saw the most awesome thing. A…or THE lawn decoration of a corpse that TEARS OFF ITS OWN HEAD. She wasn’t as impressed as me. Maybe that is a good thing. Either way, that foolish zombie "gonna be ripping his head off" in my yard within the week. Unless, it is 40+ bucks, in that case, I will savor the memories.

Put me on the list of "my parents were freaky Christians who were against Halloween." Luckily, my parents got a clue by the time I was seven and I got to go out with my big brother. :)

Hey, Matt, love the jukebox! What movies are part of the "Halloween Mega Mix"? I recognized Disney’s "Haunted Mansion" attraction, "Halloween", "Hellraiser", "The Rocky Horror", Jacko’s Thriller, Star Wars, "The Blair WItch Project"… What else is there?

Go there to see Dracula’s sign up on the eBay auction block.
He must be rolling in his grave.

Those popcorn balls really bring back a lot of memories. I remember getting those every year, I loved them!
