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!

Ghoulies 2? At 1 AM? On a standard network? It’s like…something out of a dream.

Wow, this is a crazy amount of entries. I hope you got mine Matt. Everyone else is getting a shout out. :(

But I’m just watching SNL cause I’m lame. Ooh, Weekend update!

Where are you JLAJRC, which local WB station do you get?

I love local stations that run classics at odd hours. In NY here, never know what gems will be found on WLNY and WPXN!

WLNY was showing The Wizard, with Fred Savage the other night, oh the early 90 Nintendoey goodness!

No, according to IMDB she’s of Persian and Romany heritage. Sorry, I should have worded that better, she was just rocking a look that reminded me of that particular statistic.

Damn, these are some fair weather bitches. I wonder what the rosary budget for this movie was.

Terror Claws: I did and it’s amazing. :) A lot of super ones came in tonight. It’s going to be really hard to pick.

The martinis did not work out. We’ve been on a wine kick instead.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 09/21/2008 12:19 AM

I’m about to put on A Nightmare on Elm st. Haven’t seen Freddy in a while. Also the Hellraiser flicks(the early ones ) are REALLY up there in the gore department! To say the LEAST!

ROFL, I’m always a bit disappointed by this film, yes they are fair weather bitches, but damn it, we actually cared about their characters at the start of the film. Is there any way they could do a sequel? I know they would all be pushing 30 right now, but to see Fairuza Balk playing Nancy again would so be worth it.

Chestnuts roasted by Tresjolie9 @ 09/21/2008 12:20 AM

A sequel would suck. They’d take stupid teenagers that are all disney popular right now and make it like “Another Craft”..

Ew.. maggot vomiting toilet.

X-E Matt – you should switch over to the stinkbutt character. He’s on something much stronger than wine.

Sake is my co-pilot,

Curse my parental skills! I must get to bed soon. Well, SNT has kicked butt…..stinkbutt! Har har. Anyhow, can’t wait to see the results tomorrow. Thanks for the acknowledgment Matt. :) My night is made. My night of watching crappy TV and doing Photoshop combos for my friends on a website.

Nerdcore, yo.

Chestnuts roasted by Terror Claws @ 09/21/2008 12:24 AM

Rev.: I would never adopt a pseudonym so scatologically inclined.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 09/21/2008 12:26 AM

I would want a follow up about the original characters, no Disney Craft!

Chestnuts roasted by Tresjolie9 @ 09/21/2008 12:27 AM

Have it your way, dude.

I know people can get in serious trouble with the Staten Island Mafia by stirring up public interest in a scandal like this.

Chestnuts roasted by Rev. Back It On Up @ 09/21/2008 12:27 AM

I tried to endure Sweeney Todd, and I just barely made it through. I just could NOT stand the CONSTANT singin!!! There’s some flicks that I love, that have singin in them, but they don’t sing for 97% of the movie , like they do in sweeney todd! Plus I didn’t really like the songs in sweeney todd.

Chestnuts roasted by ULTRAMAN @ 09/21/2008 12:28 AM

Now I want to go watch Sweeney Todd.. Not for Johnny Depp.. I’m in love with Alan Rickman’s voice.

Chestnuts roasted by Cat the Vampire Slayer @ 09/21/2008 12:29 AM

Oh my God, this is just like Cartoon All Stars to the Rescue! It takes a nasty looking reflection to dissuade the shallow evildoers.

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 09/21/2008 12:30 AM

I have read your conspiracy theories but I promise you in all sincerity that I’d sooner use the name Gracie McBalls than “stinkbutt,” even for a prank-related endeavor.

I can’t do Sweeney Todd. I know I’ll never make it through. I’m too shallow.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 09/21/2008 12:30 AM

Ghoulies 2? 1am?! aw man, I am so down for that

Chestnuts roasted by Joker @ 09/21/2008 12:31 AM

Alan Rickman in Sweeney Todd, very good. Honestly I’m getting tired of Depp and Helena Bonham Carter getting all the good juicy Hollywood roles!

Depp as the Riddler? Meh!

and anything Helena Bonham Carter has been in, Fairuza Balk could have done just as well or perhaps better!

Chestnuts roasted by Tresjolie9 @ 09/21/2008 12:31 AM

Somewhere a Miss McBalls is concerning herself about identity theft…

Chestnuts roasted by Guise @ 09/21/2008 12:32 AM

I think Helena is the Fairuza Balk of her group. if Fairuza tried, she could do just as well.. And it doesn’t help that Helena boffed like, half the directors of the movies she’s in.

(But I do love her anyway)

Chestnuts roasted by Cat the Vampire Slayer @ 09/21/2008 12:32 AM

Matt: Gracie McBalls?!?!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BLOODY BRILLIANT!

So, anyone gonna watch Trilogy of Terror 2 with me? Pirates can’t afford the premium channels… darr…

Chestnuts roasted by Captain Will @ 09/21/2008 12:33 AM

Nice to know you and I are on the same page about sweeney todd Matt. Also I believe you when you say yur not stinkbutt.

Chestnuts roasted by ULTRAMAN @ 09/21/2008 12:33 AM

Anyone else think of Reagan in The Exorcist when you see Nancy at the end?
