Fannish Items of Interest--A Mostly Halloween Round-Up

[profile] geeksofdoom posted 5 Things We Hope To See In A New Superman Film.

The 10 Best (And 10 Worst) Songs For Halloween. Ray Parker, Jr. singing Ghostbusters is #4 on the best list. The Addams Grove, by M.C. Hammer is #10 on the worst side. At the time, it seemed okay, if only for the duel between Gomez and M.C. Hammer—plus, Christopher Lloyd is there as Uncle Fester.

Io9 explains that The Most Terrifying Movies Aren’t Horror. In the comments, people point out other movies that scarred them. Garfield’s Halloween Adventure, Return to Oz, and Labyrinth are all mentioned. I’ve never seen that last one, but I can certainly understand the first two.

The 13 Scariest Books Not Written By Stephen King. It’s a great list.

Coffin Technologies That Protect You From Being Buried Alive. Well...this won’t save Days of Our Lives’ Vivian, but it’s the thought that counts. Of course, someone needs to actually want to let her out, first...
