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!

Sweet deal! Can I even combine Gremlins jumping on Jasons grave? That kinda counts as dancing…right? hmmm maybe not.

You can draw/make anything so long as it features Jason dancing in any capacity whatsoever.

Ghosted by Matt @ 09/20/2008 2:02 PM EDT

Angela Baker is the DJ in the horror world, you guys know that right?

Hahaha…working on something, Matt. I don’t think it’s “award winning”, but I think people will enjoy it.

Ghosted by Rixliss @ 09/20/2008 2:13 PM EDT

I’d join in on the movie watching but I don’t have cable. Blargh.

Ghosted by Annette @ 09/20/2008 2:18 PM EDT

Ghoul-Aid is the best incentive for this you could possibly have. I might try to make something if I get a chance.

Ghosted by zharicant @ 09/20/2008 2:22 PM EDT

Hmm….Jason Dancing…not sure what I could do with that….Might just sit this contest out! I’m sure most of you could be more creative than me!

Ghosted by Cameron T. @ 09/20/2008 2:42 PM EDT

Now that it’s Halloween time, this gives me plenty of opportunity to show of my awesome* MS Paint skills!

My picture only has one scene (of three) where Jason is dancing, but I think the rest of the sketch makes up for it…

Ghosted by Ben @ 09/20/2008 2:43 PM EDT

…Uh oh. I’m getting some automated delivery failure message. Um… crap?

Ghosted by Ben @ 09/20/2008 2:45 PM EDT

Ben: If the file is particularly large, upload it somewhere and send me the link to see it. :)

Ghosted by Matt @ 09/20/2008 2:47 PM EDT

Mhm, a contest. I’ll have to give it a try. I wonder what kind of dancing Jason prefers …

I’ll watch The Faculty later this evening, I really love that movie.

Ghosted by Kapprika @ 09/20/2008 2:54 PM EDT

Fuck yeah! Happy SNT, peeps.

I’m in for The Craft. I found parts 2-10 on YouTube so I shall try to follow along despite my West Coast ways. I do pay for HBO so I don’t feel so bad, it’s not my fault they don’t give me an East Coast feed of Signature.

I’m definitely in for the art contest, too. Speaking of Jason, I finally uploaded pics of the awesome toys I saw at Comic-Con but I haven’t blogged ‘em yet. Ooh, next up to upload is the Cloverfield figure. Did anybody ever buy that thing? It’s gorge, I want it.

Ghosted by squee4242 @ 09/20/2008 2:59 PM EDT

I shall be entering, as well.

Yay, my first X-E art contest.

Ghosted by Hey I'm Jeff @ 09/20/2008 3:57 PM EDT

So, what would Jason think of Yo’ Mamma jokes?

Ghosted by kingklash @ 09/20/2008 4:11 PM EDT

Even I may have to take a stab at this (pun intended)!

Ghosted by Special K @ 09/20/2008 4:19 PM EDT

I don’t do arts and crafts. Would you settle for this Youtube video I found of Jason Dancing? :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uymuGRVnjZE

Trilogy of Terror 2 isn’t a bad made for tv horror film. I have yet to see the original, though.

Ghosted by JLAJRC @ 09/20/2008 4:38 PM EDT

matt, my file is not particularly large and it is still getting a failure notice. how small do i need to make it?

Ghosted by Amy @ 09/20/2008 5:02 PM EDT

How about a video of me dressed as Jason Voorhees doing the Electric Slide down Main St.?

Ghosted by Review the World @ 09/20/2008 5:09 PM EDT

Jason dancin huh? I’ll see if I can make that happen. =)

Ghosted by ULTRAMAN @ 09/20/2008 5:09 PM EDT

Amy: I’m not sure why the failure notices are happening, but best bet I guess to to upload it and e-mail me a link to see it?

Ghosted by Matt @ 09/20/2008 5:09 PM EDT

You can try e-mailing my gmail account directly if you’re having trouble.

Ghosted by Matt @ 09/20/2008 5:13 PM EDT

I am working on this in a public place and now I have an audience. Caution is now officially thrown to the wind.

Ghosted by Bill @ 09/20/2008 5:15 PM EDT

best bet I guess to to upload it and e-mail me a link to see it?

yeah…i am lame and dont know how to do that. so i have tried your other email (which i almost accidentally sent it to in the first place).

seems to have worked. maybe it is bigger than i thought. don’t know much about those sorts of things. as i said, i am lame.

thanks!

Ghosted by Amy @ 09/20/2008 5:17 PM EDT

Amy: That was well worth the wait. :)

Bill: YAY you got Internet!

Ghosted by Matt @ 09/20/2008 5:18 PM EDT

careful billy, they may think you are a satanist or something.

Ghosted by Amy @ 09/20/2008 5:18 PM EDT

Amy: What are you talking about? Bill *is* a Satanist, we worship the Horned God together on the weekends! hehe

Ghosted by Special K @ 09/20/2008 5:30 PM EDT

I’ve had problems with the failure notices, too. I now mailed my picture to your gmail account, hope it makes it to you.

Ghosted by Kapprika @ 09/20/2008 5:31 PM EDT

Sort of. I have it down in the ‘valley’ at U or Idaho but I can participate via iPhone in the cabin.

“Satan is good, Satan is our pal….”

Ghosted by Bill @ 09/20/2008 5:37 PM EDT

i have a feeling it would not take a whole lot to be branded a satanist where he’s now living…

Ghosted by Amy @ 09/20/2008 5:51 PM EDT

Jesus Christ, I’m bored.

Ghosted by Matt @ 09/20/2008 6:00 PM EDT

So I have been watching a lot of Freddy’s Nightmares on the Chiller channel and I noticed that it is set on Springfield Street or something like that. Could they only get the rights for Freddy and not Elm Street?

Ghosted by Bill @ 09/20/2008 6:04 PM EDT

Have you thought about doing a Halloween countdown entry on Monstructor… the lovable Monster combiner from Transformers?

I’m sitting here trying to write a letter thanking people for coming to a hearse show we’re putting on in two weeks and I’ve never had worse writer’s block in my life!! How does everyone else get over it?!

Ghosted by Special K @ 09/20/2008 6:12 PM EDT

Special K
I usually sleep on it or drive around town for a while…

Ghosted by Cameron T. @ 09/20/2008 6:18 PM EDT

Cameron: Hrm. I don’t have that luxury right now as this was due three days ago. haha I think I have it finished, though. I even got a nice little joke in that will make the hearse owners giggle, so I’m feeling more confident about it.

Now back to my Jason…

Ghosted by Special K @ 09/20/2008 6:36 PM EDT

I had a great day!

I’d dance with Jason, if he showed up now, and asked me.

Ghosted by Rev. Back It On Up @ 09/20/2008 6:41 PM EDT

Do you have a lot of Pitch Black, Matt?

Ghosted by mezzanine @ 09/20/2008 6:48 PM EDT

Sweet deal! Can I even combine Gremlins jumping on Jasons grave? That kinda counts as dancing…right? hmmm maybe not.

So much for my sequel to my Halloween 2005 entries. :(

I rented Sweeney Todd tonight. That ought to get me in a Halloweeny mood. My only exposure to the musical is the bit from “Jersey Girl” that uses it. Should be interesting.

Ghosted by Cameron T. @ 09/20/2008 6:51 PM EDT

Drew: Funny, I was actually researching various scary-themed Transformers earlier, but I forgot that one.

Mezzanine: I have a bit left, mainly Pitch Black II.

Ghosted by Matt @ 09/20/2008 6:52 PM EDT

Thanks for replying to my e-mail Matt, you know how to make a man-child feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

Ghosted by Darth Poop @ 09/20/2008 7:00 PM EDT

Darth, that entry was INCREDIBLE. :)

Ghosted by Matt @ 09/20/2008 7:00 PM EDT

Cameron T. I liked Sweeney Todd…definitley interesting. It was funny in a very very dark way.

I’m sorta half watching Ed Wood right now on youtube. Debating on whether or not I need to take some pain killers for my sinus infection.

Happy Fall! and Happy SNT!

Ghosted by mandy_decomposing body parts_Reeves @ 09/20/2008 7:05 PM EDT

Aw shucks, stop it… But do go on.

Ghosted by Darth Poop @ 09/20/2008 7:05 PM EDT

Will you all please come to my house and drink gin with me tonight? Can anyone do an impression of elvis?

Ghosted by Rev. Back It On Up @ 09/20/2008 7:06 PM EDT

That was at Matt by the way. Not that I don’t like talking to you Mandy, its just that, well with the kids and work I’m kind of busy. No really.

Ghosted by Darth Poop @ 09/20/2008 7:07 PM EDT

Downloading the dubbed double ep of the May/Dawn arc.

Life is good.

Ghosted by Neg @ 09/20/2008 7:11 PM EDT

So glad the fall weather is starting. I celebrated by going apple picking. The bf got eaten by bugs, so I made it up to him by stopping at this random cemetery we passed with a sign on it that said “labyrinth.” Only the labyrinth was just a brick pattern in the back, not like a real labyrinth. Total disappointment. Then we went to the Halloween store and THEN I drove him way up on this giant mountain in Reading where they have the random Japanese Pagoda and you can see for miles. Then we went back down and got sushi!

Ghosted by Mystie @ 09/20/2008 7:13 PM EDT

Hi Mystie! :) We’re about to order sushi. Must have TUNA.

Ghosted by Matt @ 09/20/2008 7:14 PM EDT

I’d love to join in on the fun tonight, but my sister’s over and I wanna spend time with her and my parents. Also, we might actually go out to the movie theatre if we feel like it later.

Also, I really wish I had any artistic abilities whatsoever, because this art contest sounds kick-ass. Oh well, I’m super excited to see the winners tomorrow!

Ghosted by Frakkyfire @ 09/20/2008 7:24 PM EDT

Rev: I can do a pretty good Elvis impression.
Matt: Hope ya like the entry.
If any ya’ll are bored, maybe we can play some Brawl later.
