"Tell Me Your Worst Candy Nightmare"

"Let Me Know" 

Right up above this post is a poll on a few of the worst candy that I have ever received in my reflective bright orange safety Halloween bag, you know the ones you would get at that mandatory safety assembly in the school gym/cafeteria when you were a kid. Well we are not talking about the bags but more about that one candy.. the one that quickly stole that twinkle in your eye the moment you dumped your bag on the kitchen table at end of the night. It was so horrible that you quickly lookup at your friends and hope that they didn't get a glimpse of it or else they'd make you eat it for a good laugh. Anyway here are some of my least favorites....

Cinnamon Mints

DOTS

Candy Corn                                                                                      Circus Peanuts

 

Take the poll for fun and share with us which ones you hated getting in your candy bags....

Eating Monster Brains

These were fun to make and eat.....well I didn't help much in making them but you can bet I helped make them disappear.  I'm not going to take credit for this treat, it was the wife's idea.

These are the items needed, you can use your choice of flavors.

Go crazy when making your own monster faces on the cups.

First step it to make the pudding, just follow the instructions on the box, they vary depending on the one you buy. Next fill the cups (oh yeah using clear cups is best) about 3/4 of the way.

Crush up your cookies (oreos in our case) in what ever fun way you want.

 

Last sprinkle some crushed cookies on top and that's it you done.

Those are my little monsters feet.

Enjoy!!!

A film I have to talk about every Halloween season. This movie is based on a short story by Stephen King. Starring John Cusack and Samuel L Jackson. Cusack plays a writer who spends the night and then reviews supposedly haunted hotels and has him staying in various places, until his stay at The Dolphin Hotel...

I get lost in the movie so much that it feels like I'm there, very few movies that I've watched have this effect on me and when they do it's a good thing.

Whats your favorite scary movie?

Sweet Dreams

Well this is the final setup, oh and last night I also modified the skull to open and close its jaw electronically

we also had a little helper out there with us little Miss Emma, well more like telling us what to do....

and we ended the evening with a nice little BBQ in the park. 

Oh and Sweet Screams Dreams

 HA HA HA HA !!!!

"Tremors 4"

This movie is at spot #11 on the 13 Days of Halloween countdown. I really like the Tremors movies and everything about them, well except for some parts. I watched this movie with mixed thoughts at first because there were no familiar actors that I had seen before.

 There was Hiram(aka Burt in all the other movies) and I also really liked Juan Pedilla and the fact that he could never keep a hat on. He was also not a bad actor and held well in this movie.

 Now this guy, Black Hand Kelly almost made this movie horrible and I could not stand his acting so this scene made it all better and I was able to finish watching the movie. I recommend the movie pack if you can find it as you will pay a small price for all the movies.

"Amityville Horror"

This movie is in my number 12 spot because its a good movie and ill watch it if it is showing on basic cable but I wont cry if I miss it. Like I said it is a good movie and a great scare.

There are some great parts in the movie, like when the little girl shows the babysitter where she was shot by her brother and other small stuff that is added in the movie that you'll miss if you don't pay attention.

Oh and if any women are reading this, Yes there are a lot of scenes with Ryan Reynolds shirtless no pics sorry.

"The Craft"

This movie is in my top 13 favorites, why 13? Well in the spirit of the Thirteen Nights left of Halloween, I will try to list my 13 top favorite stuff of all time that will include movies, games and toys that are in the spirit and bring back the memories of my Halloween past and present.

 

I not sure what it was that made me like this movie so much that I added it to my list. The funny thing is I never replaced the VHS tape with a DVD so I haven't seen it in a while but I wouldn't mind watching it now or at anytime, to bad I don't have a VCR player. 

 I guess I was in that phase in my life where I thought this stuff was cool, I bought books and somewhat dressed in large baggy clothes,Hey I was in high school, plus I'm glad I didn't ware black all the time that's just weird to do in Texas. Maybe it was the fact that in the movie they were able to do cool stuff get what ever they wanted and I didn't care that it came with consequences.....well I guess I did because I don't follow or find that stuff interesting anymore. 

Still a great move.

Resident Evil 2

(On N64)

I'm going to twist it up a bit, Resident Evil 2 on Nintendo 64 was one of my favorite zombie games to play back in the day. I would stay up until 1am playing this game which caused me to have weird dreams, hey I was a junior in high school at the time, but yeah I remember my brother and I played this game for hours at a time.....Good Times...Good Times....

These guys, if I remember correctly crawled all over the place and were hard to kill, not a typical zombie you would expect to see but still very cool, Oh did I mention hard to kill?

One thing that I hated about the game was the way you saved a game by having to look for a typewriter that were always in a room you wouldn't expect, for example, walk in to a library....no typewriter.....but go into a storage room......Boom! There it is, and don't get me started on the storage box/foot locker where you stored your weapons. Over all this was and maybe still is one of my favorite games, maybe I should play it some day.

Toy Story of Terror

 We watched this last night and I must say thank you to Disney for keeping this cartoon going. I love the Toy Story movies, not just because I still play with toys but like every kid out there I always wished my toys could talk.....too weird huh? Anyways this is a great film that starts the gang still getting into their unusual situations, this time on a road trip.

I wont say more, if you like the movies then this short is right up your ally. The Pic below shows the next showing for the rest of the month.....enjoy.
