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!

That blonde chick is a cross between Kimber from Nip/Tuck and Hillary Clinton.

Ghosted by Thorzul @ 09/21/2008 1:02 AM EDT

ROTFL, Thorzul, was watching Nip/Tuck right before this, and was wondering if that was the same actress who played Kimber!

Man, this guy has everything in the world. I doubt anything bad could ever happen to him.

Goob: Oh god, there’s a scene in one of the Toxie movies — I can’t remember which — that’s so disgusting that I still attribute its visuals to why I can’t eat straight spaghetti well over a decade later. That’s all I will say.

I’ve gotten a fuckton of entries (well, a fuckton considering it’s a one-day-only thing) and I’m now trying to figure out how to highlight ‘em all in a single post. :)

ITA, anonymous, although his trophy wife could probably kill him.

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 09/21/2008 1:06 AM EDT

Yarr, I’ll help ye kill the ol’ coot… fer a fee!

BTW, didn’t Dan Curtis produce or write for Dark Shadows?

Ghosted by Captain Will @ 09/21/2008 1:06 AM EDT

And the red-haired guy is the poor man’s Donal Logue.

Which is pretty fucking poor when it comes down to it.

Ghosted by Thorzul @ 09/21/2008 1:06 AM EDT

And is that guy supposed to have UK accent? Or did I just spot someone posting as an American once again?

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 09/21/2008 1:06 AM EDT

I thought Donal Logue was the poor man’s Donal Logue.

Hey Cat I have the worst witch on my external hard drive! It’s nice to have a copy of it. I want to watch it when Bill comes over to visit. I think it just might become a tradition to watch it. It’s probably on youtube if anyone wants to watch it. If anybody wants a copy and has AIM or Yahoo I can transfer it if they have a fast connection. I have one too and I think it would be a waste of time through dial up.

Ghosted by Goob @ 09/21/2008 1:08 AM EDT

This guy in the glasses seems familiar to me. I wonder where iv’e seen him befor.

Ghosted by ULTRAMAN @ 09/21/2008 1:08 AM EDT

Things are looking pretty bleak for our hero. Those two despicable rapscallions are plotting against him.

Ghosted by Anonymous @ 09/21/2008 1:09 AM EDT

*sniff sniff* That poor old fellow just wanted his wife to love him and bring him some hot food because he’s sick!

Ghosted by Captain Will @ 09/21/2008 1:10 AM EDT

I’m waiting for “Where’s my cake?!?! I want my cake!!!” in this movie, but I don’t think I’m getting it.

Ghosted by Thorzul @ 09/21/2008 1:10 AM EDT

Ha ha! I killed an old man in a wheelchair! I’m invincible!

How come his gun didn’t fire?

Ghosted by Anonymous @ 09/21/2008 1:11 AM EDT

GRUMPY, NO!!!!

Now he’s yelling at the angels…

Ghosted by Captain Will @ 09/21/2008 1:11 AM EDT

That’s a thick ale!!!!

Hurray! Drunk guys!

Ghosted by Captain Will @ 09/21/2008 1:13 AM EDT

That wheelchair scene reminded me a bit too much of Gremlins I

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 09/21/2008 1:14 AM EDT

Matt I know what you mean about some Troma movies. Some of em come VERY close to actually makin you puke.

Ghosted by ULTRAMAN @ 09/21/2008 1:14 AM EDT

Okay, whenever a guy introduces himself via his last name firs,t something is off!

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 09/21/2008 1:14 AM EDT

Looks like those jerks are going to escape scot-free in good ol’ Salem. What a shame. They deserve some kind of punishment. Oh well. I guess the rest of the movie is them just living a life of luxury.

Ghosted by Anonymous @ 09/21/2008 1:15 AM EDT

why does the retarded guy that washes the van windows in TCM scare me so bad?Dude has a 10 second role!

Ghosted by Bill @ 09/21/2008 1:15 AM EDT

All of this pub-centric class friction makes me think I’m witnessing “Straw Dogs 2″.

Ghosted by Thorzul @ 09/21/2008 1:15 AM EDT

Methinks the gravedigger usta be a pirate… he certainly tells tales like one.

Hmm…

Ghosted by Captain Will @ 09/21/2008 1:16 AM EDT

Coffins get crushed by all the dirt anyway. It doesn’t matter. Haven’t they seen Mythbusters?

Ghosted by Anonymous @ 09/21/2008 1:16 AM EDT

Goob-
The first five minutes of The Craft seemed like Charmed because Charmed ripped them off. I think they even used the same shitty How Soon Is Now? cover.

Ghosted by Kid Nicky @ 09/21/2008 1:17 AM EDT

Wouldn’t it be ironic if these two actually got devoured by graveyard rats? It’d be like the gravedigger and the title were prophetic!

Creepy stuff…

Ghosted by Captain Will @ 09/21/2008 1:19 AM EDT

Is this a special commercial free 1 AM showing of Trilogy of Terror 3?

Ghosted by Anonymous @ 09/21/2008 1:20 AM EDT

Woah! Anny Nonymous be right! No commercials in the central time zone showing either!

Ghosted by Captain Will @ 09/21/2008 1:21 AM EDT

Ooooh, i’m on the edge of my seat.

Ghosted by ULTRAMAN @ 09/21/2008 1:22 AM EDT

You spoke too soon….boner pills.

Ghosted by Thorzul @ 09/21/2008 1:22 AM EDT

Really? The craft reminds of all the goth girls when I went to high school. Look at me I buy my clothes at the hot topic and wear black lipstick I am DEEP and MATURE.

Ghosted by Goob @ 09/21/2008 1:23 AM EDT

Well don’t we look silly now.

I need a name. Anyone have any suggestions?

Ghosted by Anonymous @ 09/21/2008 1:24 AM EDT

Holy crap that Vipers movies looks AWESOME.

THIS ISN’T TERRORISTS THESE ARE SNAKES!

Ghosted by Anonymous @ 09/21/2008 1:25 AM EDT

I refuse to acknowledge these commercials! I’m smarter than TV!

Ghosted by Captain Will @ 09/21/2008 1:25 AM EDT

“Vipers” looks good. Hopefully Tara Reid will keep her Franken-nipple out of it.

SNL was much better this week.

I’m afraid I don’t get Sci-Fi on the TV in the room that this compy is in. Also, I gotta tune out early tonight. :(

Ghosted by Invader Norbert @ 09/21/2008 1:29 AM EDT

You know very well that the trolls like to use my name. =)

Ah, what do I come back to find, fake rabid rats!

God are the bad guys actually going to be the freaking rats? How stupid is that?

Man I was hoping for a zombie or at the very least a haunting.

That one rat took a bullet to the face and then scurried away.

Hmm, trying to think or a name for our nameless new friend? Mousie?

And when will “PhelpsPhan” go away, it has been almost a month since the Olympics.

I vote for PhelpsPhan.
