I ask because I was looking for it on ABC Saturday and I couldn't find it. I saw Texas A&M Vs Missouri on ABC, a matchup that I had little interest in watching. I saw a graphic of some kind that mentioned something about "being postponed due to snow", and figured the OH State game was the one they were referring to. crazy |

Wow! For a football game to be postponed due to snow, it must have been one heck of a snowstorm!

Guys, I gotta be honest, I'm just not feeling the Halloween spirit this year. Haven't watched, nor am I in the mood to watch, any horror DVDs. Hopefully things will pick up later in the month. |

Sorry to hear that Ro-Dan, but hopefully, the urge to get back into the horror theme will kick in a little later in the month. I hear this quite often around Christmas, where folks simply cannot get into the spirit of the holiday. That's another holiday that I adore and never seem to have a problem getting into. |

My holiday decorations are limited to Christmas(only). Even then I don't do much. I usually set up a small, 4-6' Frasier Fir, and decorate it with a couple of strings of lights. No presents under the tree either. Several years ago The Hammer(my cat) tore up a lot of the wrappings on presents I had under a tree at my old apartment=I had to re-wrap everything. I keep any presents inside a closet now until they are ready to be mailed or handed out. Christmas has, in mind, waned as far as it's effect on me, over the last ten or so years, sadly. Not saying I'm a grinch at Christmas, but I just don't really get into the Christmas holiday anymore.

Christmas has always been a huge deal for me and certainly not the gift receiving aspect of the holiday. ;) My parents and Dad;s parents always made a huge deal of the holiday and the fun and excitement began for me, Thanksgiving Day. Mom and Dad would have Grandma and Granddad as well as Grandma and Charlie over and Grandma and Granddad always would bring our Advent calendars with them....now that was big time excitment for us! Mr Green Mom would begin decorating sometime in very early December and I was always caught up in the excitement of decoarting, the music and of course, the holiday films and TV specials. When I was still able to work, the majority of my vacation time was taken at Christmas and I still get all giddy and excited for this holiday. I do think sometimes I go a bit overboard in my enthusiasm for the holiday, but the season is as magical for me today as it was when I was a kid. Mr Green |

I love this film, Rawhead Rex and thought the book was even better. I missed out on the R1 release of the DVD, so I have the R2 disc, but I think there may be another release in R2 available and I want to see if that second release offers any better features and if I'm not mistaken, the DVD is offered in fullframe? |

Indeed, Rawhead Rex is a truly hideous-looking monster. It won't be the last avatar I use for this month. I have one more I will throw up for viewing in by the weekend(no spoilers). Ironically, I have seen only the first 15-20 minutes of this movie. I know it was released in 1986 and it an Irish film. I have seen it advertisd at Amazon.com. I have it on my DVD "want" list for early 2007. Now that I have preordered the Classic Media DVDs Godzilla Raids Again(1955) and Mothra Vs Godzilla I have narrowed down to a fairly short list what I will order between now and year's end, on DVD: 1. Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea-Season Two/Volume One(1965) 2. Mission Impossible 3(2006) 3. Feast 4. Goke, Body Snatcher From Hell(1968)/DVD-R 5. Ultraman(1966-TV series)Vol 2-episodes 21-39 Image-Long In The Tooth: that might be an understatement regarding this hulking demon-from Rawhead Rex(1986) |

My landlord, "Mrs. C", has talked me into helping her distribute candy to the hordes of kids who will be pounding on her door Halloween night, October 31st. I have invested in some cheap zombie makeup for the occasion. I have been told by Mrs. C's housekeeper, "Maggie", that the visits from our neighborhood kids, presumably dressed up in various Halloween regalia, can last up to several hours. I have stocked up on a few extra phramaceuticals to help me get through the candy-distribution duty: Pepto Bismol and an extra pack of Goody's headache powders.

Well, since this is the Halloween And Trick-or-treat thread AND it's almost Halloween I though I should post this here, it's a really cool Halloween music video which you should [size=7]ALL [/size]watch. I have included a gigantic link just in case some of you can't find it :lol: : [size=14]Would You Love A Monsterman? 2006[/size] |

Solid list of discs you plan on adding to your collection before the end of the year. thumbs up I read, Rawhead Rex, I believe, when I was in high school and really enjoyed it, it may have been a short story from Clive Barker in his, Books of Blood collection of short stories. The film is wild, I think the demon is scary as all get out! |

Good luck with that, Lee! Mr Green I believe my town is having Trick-or-Treat on Saturday night, which is 28 October, I believe? They usually try and have it on a Saturday night, I guess so more kids can be out and not worry about school the next day?
I'd love to check it out, but with my uber-slow dial-up, I can't watch it. :( |

Indeed. As rough and tough as I have always tried to be, I would absolutely not want to meet this guy in a dark alley...or anywhere for that matter. Image-For the hell of it: this demon's motives, no doubt-from Rawhead Rex(1986) |

I'm still not feeling the Halloween spirit. I think it's because I'm in the midst of a big move into a townhouse with my girlfriend. I've been packing and signing the lease and preparing. |

I had to watch this again, after seeing your avatar and the screen shots you posted! Mr Green I love this film and need to see if there is a better disc, available, as this is full screen and no bonus features of which to speak. |

I can see where packing, moving and all the other headaches that come with moving, can take the life right out of you and film viewing, forget it at this point! I know I'm always so stressed about a move, packing and unpacking nearly kill me and I HATE the clutter of a move, so I spend days upon days, just trying to get a place in order. Just get ready for next Halloween and relax as much as possible, now. :) Congrats on the move and hope all goes well! |

Thanks, you two. Jenny (my girlfriend) and I are both really excited about the move. Still, we're gonna take some time this weekend and carve some pumpkins. I'm slowly starting to get the spirit. AMC has been helping by airing the HALLOWEEN movies. Friday the 13th parts 2 and 4 are on tomorrow night so I'm sure that'll be entertaining. ghost 2 |

You're welcome and glad to hear you're feeling a bit more in the mood of Halloween. Hard to believe it's nearly upon us! AMC had, Island of the Burning Doomed/Damned on the other day and in spite of the fact I have this on DVD and AMC riddled it with commercials, I still sat and watched it! Last night, I watched, Creature With the Atom Brain on TCM and then sat and watched Rob Zombie introduce, Night of the Living dead. AMC's MonsterFest is in full swing, but as Lee said, check out TCM, as they have some great films lined up.....The Quatermass Xperiment is on as I tap this out! thumbs up |

Couldn't agree more! I really hope I can locate a better DVD release of this film, guess I need to check some sites that offer more than simply R1. Although, as mentioned, my disc is R2 and even they gave this film absolutely no respect! On a bit of a side-note, Lee, I was at a Wal*Mart, yesterday and saw they had, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea-Season 2/Volume 1 for only $19.98 or something like that, I know it was under $20, but I also see it's only a 3-disc set. I wonder why they won't release this series in complete 'season' format? |

The reason: $. They(in this case being 20th Century Fox) can make more $ by selling the episodes of these classic series by splitting each season into two volumes, and with this great 60's sci-fi series, they can do it. During the 1960's many TV series ran upwards of 30 episodes(or slightly more) in an official "season", unlike today's shows, where 18-22 episodes per season is the norm(or less in some cases). I think another reason, Kimi, is to make buying these TV series a little easier for working class people like myself, and for people like you, who are in a kind of fixed income situation. I remember buying the first season of Lost In Space(1965-1968) a few years ago-it was sold as the entire first season, and it set me back well over $80. It would have been easier on my wallet then, and now, to buy that first season in two installments(two "volumes") @ $40 than to unload the $80 all at once. After that first season the rest of the LIS episodes were changed to sale by volumes(two per season) for the rest of the way. I prefer splitting up these TV series into volumes, Kimi, but only because it is easier for me to buy them that way. I am going to order VTTBOTS(Season Two/Volume One) @ DDD(online) this coming week. Though I would rather not their price is $21.96 with free shipping. The closest Wal Mart to me is still nearly 30 minutes by vehicle. Thanks, though, for the heads up. ghostly 1 |

I caught the back end of this movie on TCM early this AM-it's a riot and, IMO, arguably the greatest horror film ever made on such a shoestring budget. Gut-munching zombies, terrified people trapped in an isolated farmhouse, fighting back with their bare hands, other household items-turned weapons=recipe for a classic! The scene where the guy hurls homemade firebombs out the farmhouse windows at the walking undead is marvelous. thumbs up I'm going to slam this in the DVD player tonight.
