Well, I certainly shouldn't expect that too many people are around this Saturday night considering my own disappearing act, but if you're here, feel free to comment. What a weird Halloween season. I know it can't just be me. I'm off to find my macabre mojo for a while, but I'll be back later.

Tonight, let’s discuss religion.

I’m here…

Matt, have you ever been to or heard of the Chiller Theatere Expo? It was in Parsipany, NJ. I went this past weekend. It’s really fun, the best was Gary Coleman’s table right next to Kane Hodder’s. The website is linked in my name if you are intersted. They are having another in April.

Also, do you know if Cocoa Bat Peeps still exist? I’m assuming they are discountinuted. I’ve searched every Halloween season ever since your inital post about them about 5 years ago. I’ve never had any luck.

Yay me, I was first. Now that it’s off my chest, I have to admit, this Halloween just doesn’t feel right. I’ve hardly even seen anything in the stores, it’s almost as if they have decided to go ahead with christmas and say to hell with Halloween.

That doesn’t boast well with me.

I visited a Halloween Superstore today and came home with a coloring book, didn’t want one other thing. Is it the weather that’s stealing the mojo?

Chestnuts roasted by Jessica Marie @ 10/13/2007 8:23 PM

My two pumpkins had to be thrown away The warm weather made them moldy and collapse in less than 7 days.

I commiserate with Matt on the lack of mojo, but I myself am not experiencing it this year. In fact, the more stressful my job gets, the more excited I get about Halloween. I decorate and do fun projects after work as stress relievers. I totally want to make the Ravens Blight manor now!

It’s the weather. Here in Southern Ontario, it’s been pretty hot.

But yesterday and today feel just like fall! It’s just a few degrees over 0 (celcius, you Americans).

The forecast for the next few days seems pretty fall-like, so hopefully the weather won’t heat up again.

All right, I think it’s time XE saved Halloween. We’ll meet at the Toys R Us in Times Square and begin searching for a witch, Dracula, and Tim Curry so that we can find out who stole the Halloween spirit. And then kick him in the junk. And then have a claymation television special commissioned in our honor. Tally ho!

…crap, my car’s blocked in by Sooner fans. You guys let me know how the epic quest turns out.

This is a weird Halloween season indeed.

Everything feels Halloweeny, but looking around the neighborhood I’m the only one with blinky Halloween lights in the windows and cheap foam gravestones in the yard.

It’s chilly, the leaves are starting to change (in Illinois), and the days are growing shorter; Yet, people just ain’t getting into it.

Is it the government…something in our water? Course, haven’t seen much promotion of Halloween in the media this year either. No ‘Thirteen Days of Halloween’ being promoted every commercial break. Maybe it’s because the economy is a downturn, and Halloween isn’t really a holiday where people go and spend a lot of cash…they’re all holding onto their ad budgets for Christmas.

It looks like it’s up to all of us purists. You specifically Matt.

Just think, ‘The Halloween that Matt Saved’!

You can do it!

You know what’s gotten me in the Halloween mood? The “8 Films To Die For” series. Tonight I start “Dark Ride”, which is about a serial killer hiding inside an amusement park Dark Ride (imagine that!). Kinda like Zeebo the clown in that one “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” episode. Best of all, I got it for just a buck at family video. Well, I’m off. Wish me luck.

Damn Kirsten Dunst is one homely little creep, she looks like a shaved cat.

Chestnuts roasted by El Loco Gordo @ 10/13/2007 8:38 PM

The weather’s cooled off here, but not as much as I’d like. The leaves aren’t turning yet either. And yeah, it does seem like they’re trying to skip Halloween and probably Thanksgiving this year and jump right to Christmas, which is bullshit.

Chestnuts roasted by Annette @ 10/13/2007 8:38 PM

This is just like that time in Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer when Stormy was being a jerk and didn’t want winter to stop and then it turned out that the Princess was putting that opaque netting around the Diamond Planet causing winter to continue long past its time which in turn caused major depression on Earth. Except it’s the opposite now, and Halloween will never come unless some mythical being makes with the cool weather. Am I right or am I right?

Chestnuts roasted by Jessica Marie @ 10/13/2007 8:40 PM

I just want to wish everyone a Happy Halloween Season. Just stay in the spirit, because you’re the only one who needs to feel it, to make it special.

Well, I’m off to work, but when I get back I’m bringing home candy corn, haven’t had that in awhile.

Chestnuts roasted by G4L @ 10/13/2007 8:44 PM

It’s true; I can’t even work up the enthusiasm to get my Halloween costume together. The timing just all seems off, with sports schedules all out of wack and not a single horror movie in theaters. (Saw IV don’t count. At all.) Maybe my spirits will lift with the re-release of Nightmare Before X-Mas this weekend, but I don’t know. I think I’ll dig into all the crappy horror VHS I just bought off of eBay and see if that doesn’t help.

Hey all, this is my first SNT.

Like the Chiller Con in Jersey I go to one here in Maryland every year called Horrorfind Weekend. http://www.horrorfindweekend.com is the site incase anyone wants to check it out.

What gets me in the Halloween Spirit is making sure I decorate, carve and watch as many animated specials I can just like everyone else. On top of that I make it my mission to impose my good Halloween cheer on my unwitting friends and family. My girlfriend never did holiday’s at all really before she met me (stunted childhood) so I get to corrupt her from scratch

Chestnuts roasted by Minnick @ 10/13/2007 8:46 PM

Exactly, Jessica Marie.

Chestnuts roasted by Annette @ 10/13/2007 8:50 PM

I have a ninja pumpkin…. might post photos later. It’s from that Potato Head Halloween kit (make the pumpkin into a ninja or pirate) that I found at Targets. Not seen them anywhere else.

Chestnuts roasted by Jace @ 10/13/2007 8:51 PM

I haven’t really had any problems getting into the spirit. I’ve been playing Constantine, and I finally bought Silent Hill 3

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 10/13/2007 9:01 PM

I never really get into Halloween until a few days before Halloween when I start my Halloween movie marathon…Little shop of Horrors, Corpse Bride, Young Frankenstein, and Rocky Horror being the films I watch…

Speaking of movies, for some reason I decided to start Watching Star Wars tonight. Starting at the Beginning, Episode I. Maybe one film a night? We’ll see…

Happy SNT!

Chestnuts roasted by Cameron T. @ 10/13/2007 9:03 PM

I’ve been trying to watch as many cartoon Halloween specials as I can online. I just watched Casper Saves Halloween, The Flintstones Meet Rockula and Frankenstone, The Halloween Tree, and the awful Halloween is Grinch Night.

Today is only day 3 of decent weather here in Virginia. I own like 30 hoodies! I need to rotate those babies!

Maybe its just me and everyone else isn’t feeling the mojo but I’m all psyched! I leave for tour on Monday, so I get to have Halloween on the road (in Poughkeepsie, NY I think). So I bought a giant banana costume yesterday and I have my Nightmare Before Christmas action figures and I’m bringing all my Halloween specials on DVD with me and I’m psyched. In fact, I’m 20 minutes, and 10 dinosair shaped chicken nuggets away from watching Nightmare Before Christmas. Ill be back!

Everyone! Get out of your funk! Watch Hocus Pocus and feel better!

Chestnuts roasted by Brian! @ 10/13/2007 9:10 PM

God speed my son. It has been weird here too. Even “Holiday Street” (as me and my wife have dubbed it) still doesn’t have their decorations up yet. I put some Halloween wallpapers on my iPhone but I wasn’t feeling it either so I just went back to my autumn leaves background.
