I have no idea what is supposed to be good about it, and were it any other director, I'd assume it was some egotistical piece serving as an advertisement for their DVDs. Since it's Guillermo, the most humble director I've ever heard speak, I'm just confused why it's a long opening that is eventually strung along with references to everything he's directed ever. Add that to how ugly and terribly staged the Simpsons are now and you have what would normally appear to another idiotic piece of fan art. Interview with Entertainment Weekly about the opening. He basically says that they offered him the opportunity to throw everything in there so he took it. Can't really say I blame him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick R Posted October 9, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO5mMVeFZEQ Nosferatu is easily the best version of the Dracula story. It makes Dracula's evil feel so elemental, representing it as a plague. Soooo spooky! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dewar Posted October 10, 2013 Tonight I'm off to the store for some more black lights as well as hunting around for costume ideas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted October 10, 2013 This costume is an absolute steal http://www.amazon.co.uk/Smiffys-34971M-Count-Duckula-Medium/dp/B003XG8EWO I might buy it and just wear it to the office Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted October 11, 2013 Sexy Count Duckula?! Anyway, I will celebrating Halloween in the usual way, to wit, going 'huh, it's Halloween'. I am more well-disposed to Halloween than I used to be, once I realised that it's early spring here so the idea of kids trick-or-treating is actually feasible, but it's still way too American a holiday for people to really want to get behind it. You could try removing the Americanisms, like jack-o-lanterns, but that would almost certainly kill the host. For some reason, people don't find dangerous monsters and spiders all over the place particularly entertaining in Australia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick R Posted October 11, 2013 It's weird to think of jack-o-lanterns as inherently American. Do pumpkins not grow on other continents? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted October 12, 2013 We have pumpkins, but we don't hollow them out, cut holes in them, light them on fire and then put them out to rot for a month. It's like if Rasputin were a gourd. We usually just cut them up and then cook and eat them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick R Posted October 12, 2013 You should try hollowing them out, cutting holes in them, lighting them on fire(?), and then putting them out to rot for a month. It's fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ucantalas Posted October 12, 2013 Well, I don't know about the lighting them on fire or letting them rot for a month, but carving faces and stuff on them is fun!(Also toasted pumpkin seeds yum yum yum) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted October 14, 2013 Or paint faces on them, and then you can still cook them and eat them later. Decorations almost complete. I got a second set of black lights to go with my white reapers and skulls. I'm thinking of cooking a brisket for the party, make a pulled beef sort of a thing since I'm not a fan of pork.

tegan Posted October 15, 2013 So guys, what would you say your list of Treehouse of Horror episodes worth watching is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ucantalas Posted October 15, 2013 Well, you have to go with the very first Treehouse of Horror, of course. It has my absolute favorite reading of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven", and guest star James Earl Jones.Next, I recommend the Treehouse of Horror V, my personal favorite overall, with "The Shinning", "Nightmare Cafeteria", and "Time and Punishment".Treehouse of Horror VI is also amazing, with "Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace" and "Attack of the 50-Foot Eyesores".Treehouse of Horror X had the enjoyable "Desperately Xeeking Xena", in which Bart and Lisa are turned into superheros Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl, and face off against a supervillain version of Comic Book Guy.Those are my favorites off the top of my head.

melmer Posted October 18, 2013 The perfect Halloween album? The Misfits - Famous monsters In fact the perfect album full stop. "We are on a witch hunt hunt hunt drown her will she sink or float Lyrics I can't remember We're on a witch hunt, we're on a blood hunt, we're on a witch hunt and we're gonna get you we're coming after YOU TOO" Seriously go listen to this album now.

Dewar Posted October 18, 2013 Oooh, splicer is a good idea. I still have no clue what I'm dressing up as, which is a bit disconcerting. I was thinking maybe going as an Alien victim with a chest burster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
