10 MST3K Episodes to Watch On Halloween

CNN reports that one of Bram Stoker's writing journals has been unearthed.

This month for Halloween, I have now watched for the first time: Subspecies, Bloodstone: Subspecies 2, Warlock, Halloween, Halloween II, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, The Omen (original), Poltergeist, Silver Bullet, The Lost Boys, Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday, The Changeling (1980), Ghost Story (from 1981), House (from 1986), and House II: The Second Story.

I didn’t post about the Zombie Walk. It didn’t take more than 5 minutes for everyone to pass on by. There was a Zombie Chef, two Zombie Ghostbusters, a Zombie Batman and Catwoman, and about 200 others. Including someone’s little Pug puppy, with fake blood on its back. Yesterday, I went to see The Lost Boys—aside from a few technical difficulties (and a grand total of 7 people were there, counting us) that made it a couple minutes late in starting, it went nicely.

ETA: Forgot to add the Bram Stoker news, so that's added now.

Trick-or-treaters?

For once, this year we have more than one trick-or-treater coming to the door. Five as of 5:37 PM, even if one was the mother of some children. She had an extra trick-or-treat bag, and was desperate for some candy. Fine, you get three Dum Dums, too, same as all your children.

I suspect that may be all for the night, but I'm leaving the porch light on until 8 PM.

Meanwhile, down near the river? Every year, they rope off a particular street or two, and around 3000 come. So between that, and a couple churches doing Trunk Or Treat, this neighborhood ends up with not very many kids.
