Welcome to my Halloween appreciation blog. I’ll likely talk about masks, costumes, music, films and so on. I very much encourage people to author some of their own Halloween ♥.
The title says it all.
Here’s a list that comes to mind of why I ♥ Halloween:
- Halloween is my favorite holiday/day of the year and holds fond memories
- It’s nostalgic
- It’s weird
- It’s creepy
- It’s fun
- It’s atmospheric
- I ♥ the sight and smell of Fall
- I ♥ the color of the outdoors during Fall
- I ♥ the commercial colors as well; black/orange
- I ♥ dark/moody/depressing/melodic/haunting/Halloween music
- I ♥ Horror films
- I ♥ to scare/get scared
- I ♥ people that ♥ Halloween that understand that there is something primal about fear and thrills and the nostalgia of it, that there is just that extra indescribable little dash of magic that only Halloween holds
Be sure to let me know what YOU ♥ about Halloween.

If you’re unfamiliar with what Manhunt is, it is one of the best horror video game series ever released.
This may be old news, but manhunt3.com has been registered by Rockstar Games and currently redirects to: rockstargames.com naturally.
According to DomainTools (whois.domaintools.com/manhunt3.com), it’s been registered since: 2007-12-09. Manhunt 2 was released October 29, 2007. 4 days later from when manhunt3.com was registered manhunt4.com (http://whois.domaintools.com/manhunt4.com) was also registered. So likely, this was more of a preemptive move to secure the domains, for future possible use, but does not necessarily mean it’s set in gold that Manhunt 3 will happen.
I feel very strong that it will happen, but in the meantime you could help by signing the petition:

First, I just want to say there really are a lot of REALLY bad molds and paint jobs of so called “professional” quality Jason hockey masks out there, but sometimes… if you want something done right…

This is the video I’m entering into the FridayThe13thFilms.com Video Promo Contest.
Even if it’s not chosen as the winner, they’re more than welcome to use it anyways. It’s a repeating SWF right now, but I can also upload it to YouTube and Vimeo if needed.
I’ve personally always thought that simple and clean was better than over the top flashy.
(you may need to wait for it to start over, I don’t want to obscure it with a video player)
Let me know what you think…

I used to draw a lot when I was younger, as you can imagine the content was not far off from the theme of this blog.
Here are a few drawings I’ve done:

Even if you weren’t ever huge on Halloween, most kids (at least the ones with a healthy childhood) liked to make believe and dress up, scare each other and role play, whether it was cops and robbers, cowboys and indians, house, monster or whatever else.
This is of course only a small part of Halloween. For us big kids it may be just an excuse to dress up in costumes and get drunk, or to do something special with our significant other, but for me it still has something special, may be due to the nostalgia of it, and maybe I never really grew up and never want to.

Rob Zombie may seem to be an enigma, but really more than anything he is simply a man doing what he wants, his career is his passion. He loves music, film, the 70′s, horror, Halloween and women; this is clear to see through his lyrics and film eras/style. Although he did grow up in his adolescence and young teens in the 1970′s, this was also a great time for horror/cult films, for example; The Texas Chainsaw Massacre which is in my opinion and many horror fans, the holy grail of all horror films and is obviously one of Zombie’s favorites as well.

SyFy’s (previously Sci Fi) TV Show Scare Tactics just doesn’t go far enough anymore. Now I know that to the viewer the show isn’t suppose to be scary, but fun and funny which it still is. But, they just don’t push the limit with the “victim” like they used to.
What was originally great about the show is that with horror/sci fi type themes they would recreate or invent new situations of peril where the “victim” (setup by a friend) actually believed something superstitious is happening or that they may actually die or need to defend themselves (it sounds really bad typed out like that 
).
Clearly in the television industry with all the big wigs, lawsuits, red tape and bureaucracy it was amazing that the show got the green light in the first place. At first, they really did push it to the limit, but it’s very clear that the show has been toned down based on the few occasions that it went so far that the “victims” attacked the actors.
Apparently, one lawsuit, did take place. I’m not sure what the outcome was, but I’m sure this woman’s bogus “Scare Tactic” ended in a settlement and ruined Scare Tactics for the rest of us. I still like the show, but it’s just too timid to be the treat it used to be.
