09/20/2008: Halloween Countdown ‘08: Scary Art Contest!

Welcome to the first Saturday Night Thread of the 2008 Halloween season! EXCITING. While normal SNTs usually exist without any set theme, Halloween is a special time of year…so if you plan to converse, think deadly!

One of my favorite things about the spooky season is the increased amount of horror movies on television, and though we’re still a few weeks away from that effect really sinking in, there are a few choice films airing this evening. Pick your poison!

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III — 11:35 PM on Cinemax More Max
The Craft –  11 PM on HBO Signature
Trilogy of Terror 2 — 1 AM on Sci-Fi

Note that all of the times listed are EST, so adjust accordingly depending on where you live. Much as I love TCM III, I think I’m going to go with The Craft leading into Trilogy of Terror 2, assuming I don’t pass out before one or both movies airs. (It’s looking to be a martini night.)

If you’re looking for a Halloween activity a bit more spirited than watching scary movies on cable television, maybe this X-E Art Contest will help you out?

Your Mission: Create a work of art featuring Jason Voorhees dancing. That is your only rule. You can draw it, build it in Photoshop, make it out of macaroni pieces — whatever you like. It just has to feature Jason Voorhees DANCING.

(UPDATE: The deadline has passed! Thanks!) You have until Sunday at 12 noon EST to complete your piece. When finished, e-mail your opus to me, and I’ll highlight the very best entries in tomorrow’s post. Actually, if only ten of you enter, I’ll highlight all of them, no matter how horrible the entries are. We’ll see how this goes.

Need more incentive? I will objectively choose a grand prize winner, and that person will receive five packages of ancient Ghoul-Aid, the spookiest Kool-Aid flavor ever! I must add a disclaimer that the Ghoul-Aid is being offered for collectible purposes only, but I’m fairly certain that it’s still safe to drink.

Five runners-up will receive single packs of Ghoul-Aid, so even those of you who aren’t modern day Da Vincis have more than a fair shot at getting free Kool-Aid.

Remember, all entries must be received by noon EST Sunday!

If you’re not interested in watching the proposed horror movies or drawing Jason Voorhees dancing, you’re still welcome to partake in the usual SNT festivities. Enjoy!

I’m not scared, the struggling actor moonlighting as a security guard will protect me!

Wow, this lady just isn’t having a good day. Eaten by rats, killed by demon son, and now a Zuni doll is after her. Poor girl’s only had a slice of pizza all day!

Ghosted by Captain Will @ 09/21/2008 2:47 AM EDT

I love the tense “Whoops, forgot my keys” music.

Ghosted by PhelpsPhan @ 09/21/2008 2:48 AM EDT

I know, not just a Zuni doll, an evil animatronic puppet Zuni doll!

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 09/21/2008 2:49 AM EDT

That little guy tried so hard to be a Ghoulie but failed to make the cut. Thus…

Ghosted by Thorzul @ 09/21/2008 2:50 AM EDT

Didn’t I see this in Gremlins I? What other movies have featured evil animatronic knife wielding rubber monsters?

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 09/21/2008 2:51 AM EDT

Hey, we literally just got finished watching Creepshow 2! And now I’m eating Halloween Oreos.

Is the movie over?

Ghosted by Special K @ 09/21/2008 2:52 AM EDT

Grab the blade! Great idea!

Derr!

Ghosted by Captain Will @ 09/21/2008 2:53 AM EDT

Yes, grab the blade with your already cut up fingers. Don’t try to find something else tht you could potentially stick the blade into. And didn’t this woman have a ax before?

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 09/21/2008 2:55 AM EDT

Tresjolie, the terrible Child’s Play movies. I had a joke lined up about them and this but decided to wait it out, and now that I mentioned it the reference won’t seem so hilariously zany.

By the way, is bold [ B ] or ?

Ghosted by PhelpsPhan @ 09/21/2008 2:55 AM EDT

Why did she decide to take it back out of the acid?

Ghosted by PhelpsPhan @ 09/21/2008 2:58 AM EDT

What was your Child’s Play joke going to be?

Also for bold, use the HTML bold code, this site uses HTML codes as far as I’m aware, no BB Code.

And I’m sorry but that woman hasbeen possessed by the Zuni Doll now, whiskey tango foxtrot!

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 09/21/2008 2:58 AM EDT

That was terrible x3.

Ghosted by Thorzul @ 09/21/2008 2:59 AM EDT

This is just about the least scariest thing I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen Child’s Play 3.

The next movie will probably be scarier. It stars Stephen Baldwin.

Ghosted by PhelpsPhan @ 09/21/2008 3:00 AM EDT

Not sure why she decided to take it out of the acid? To preserve it for scientific reasons? Because she is too dumb to live?

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 09/21/2008 3:00 AM EDT

Matt, this needs to be a regular Saturday night feature. Pick a bunch of scary movies and we will try to be there. Or, pick out a DVD a few days ahead of time. Good fun!

Ghosted by Thorzul @ 09/21/2008 3:01 AM EDT

Did anyone else find that little doll funny?

Ghosted by ULTRAMAN @ 09/21/2008 3:02 AM EDT

Tresjolie9:I find it funny when people who aren’t from the South or Kentucky try to fake a redneck accent. Like you, we can tell when someones tryin to fake it. lol.

Ghosted by ULTRAMAN @ 09/21/2008 3:07 AM EDT

That doll was hilarious. And I would love to have a flick picked every Saturday night, preferably something on basic cable, so all can enjoy. Or since this DVD has people in all different time zones, perhaps an easily obtainable DVD would be best.

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 09/21/2008 3:08 AM EDT

Oh yes Ultraman, forgot to say a major part of that rule, fake Southern accents offend Southerners. Contrary to US and international ears, there is not just one universal Southern accent. People from the Carolinas, Geroga, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Texas don’t all sound the same.

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 09/21/2008 3:10 AM EDT

Oh crap it’s Billy Zane.

Ghosted by PhelpsPhan @ 09/21/2008 3:17 AM EDT

Tresjolie: Yep, because you get freaks like me whose parents were in the military, so they moved all over the place to the point where they have a weird southern accent all there own. I got pegged as a Virginian by one professor I had… the closest I’ve ever lived to Virginia is North Carolina!

Ghosted by Captain Will @ 09/21/2008 3:17 AM EDT

Something tells me i need to go to bed… can’t type worth a damn… getting there confused with their… I never do that!

Ghosted by Captain Will @ 09/21/2008 3:26 AM EDT

I may be really late with this, but Cameron, are you the creation of Dr. Light (or Right, if you live in Japan)?

Ghosted by Ben @ 09/21/2008 3:27 AM EDT

I’m sorry about saying that The Craft is going to be on again tonight but they are showing it a lot this week. At least 4 times or so, once starting at 9:30 pm. I am going to work on my drawing now and watch some tv.

Ghosted by Goob @ 09/21/2008 4:24 AM EDT

just submitted an entry that im almost proud of. hope it comes across as fun as it was to make. ms paint is a harsh mistress though. Ghoul-Aid or not – thanks for the contest !!

Ghosted by dphunkt @ 09/21/2008 4:53 AM EDT

Ok, just submitted my entry. I spent entirely too much time doing the illustration and just sat through one of the worse movies ever “Silent warning” on sci fi. Ugh. I need sleep.

Ghosted by Ann @ 09/21/2008 5:05 AM EDT

Another super-gory horror film is Peter Jackson’s “Dead Alive.” Although this one is pretty good.

Ghosted by JLAJRC @ 09/21/2008 8:45 AM EDT

Aw, Goob, I can’t call X-E Matt by his first name. I don’t know him well enough!

Ghosted by Rev. Back It On Up @ 09/21/2008 10:59 AM EDT

Creepshow is the coolest- I prefer the second one. A couple of years ago at Dragon*Con, I obtained a Creepshow poster and had it signed by George Romero. Nice guy.

Ghosted by mandy_Tara Reids Franken-Nipple_Reeves @ 09/21/2008 12:07 PM EDT

Hi Mandy Reeves. I love you. Please send me percocets. And feel better.

There is no shame in commenting “under the influence”. You have no idea how many times I’ve done it.

Ghosted by Rev. Back It On Up 13 @ 09/21/2008 12:07 PM EDT

The deadline has passed on the art contest. Over 70 entries received. Some real gems, too. :) I hate having to pick!

Ghosted by Matt @ 09/21/2008 12:30 PM EDT

I have some judges that’ll help you Matt. Let’s see, there’s a George, an Abe and another George. ;)

Ghosted by dohopoki @ 09/21/2008 12:38 PM EDT

Awww, man. I missed the deadline.

Ghosted by Lucky Mesmer @ 09/21/2008 12:44 PM EDT

Matt, just don’t give yourself nightmares over them.

Ghosted by Guise @ 09/21/2008 1:05 PM EDT

Arr! SNT went on a goodwhile…70 entries huh? Where are all you guys when we’re bored and Xmas hung over in January? Playin’ yer Sega or some such nonsense. Anyway, can’t wait to see the winners Matt! Hope its soon!

Ghosted by Terror Claws @ 09/21/2008 1:07 PM EDT

I wish I had more than 20 minutes with my entry. However I am most happy with it. Can’t wait to see the rest of the Jems (and the holograms)

Ghosted by Ricky @ 09/21/2008 2:01 PM EDT

Hey, Ricky, do you think any of the entries will be totally outrageous?

Ghosted by Darth Poop @ 09/21/2008 2:09 PM EDT

MAN–it looks like I missed a good SNT. That’s what happens when you’re stuck in a hotel with free high speed wi-fi that goes about as fast as dial-up.

Ghosted by gingela5 @ 09/21/2008 2:19 PM EDT

Gotta confess, I am looking forward to seeing the results of the art contest. :)

Ghosted by The Manimal @ 09/21/2008 2:21 PM EDT

Sorry Matt. Couldn’t get it in on time. I’d give you a good excuse but I got nothin’. On the other hand my fridge has some nice art. I even gave myself an A with a “good job!!”.

Ghosted by Bill @ 09/21/2008 2:28 PM EDT

Ahh, there’s that ol’ Darth Poop magic! Where ya been lately? Bill has an excuse, he lives in a log cabin in the middle of nowhere. ;)

Looking forward to the art contest winners as much as the new episode of Mad Men tonight.
