09/20/2004 Entry: "Gross party favors, Mr. Peanut's car and a survey."

Today on the Halloween Countdown, "Grosser Than Gross" Party Favors! Six bucks for a well organized clump of fake vomit, oozing bugs and other disgusting fun stuff.

By the way, I can't believe how much stuff I've already found for the Countdown. I'm actually at a surplus point. Don't remember it being so easy last year. I'm now up to eight different Halloween cereals (we've covered three already), but the real insanity was realizing that I've collected four different kinds of Halloween yogurt. I don't know what I'd do without this excuse to buy every pumpkin-graced piece of shit in sight...so much fun. Speaking of fun, I ran into Mr. Peanut's Nut Mobile today.

SPOOKY Survey: Not just a normal survey mind you yes. Okay, you're throwing a Halloween party. Nothing fancy...you're just having some people over, maybe in costumes, maybe not. There's a stormy forecast for the night, so if the party busts you can't blame the weather for setting improper tone. Your job: pick out five movies that'll haunt your guests, and one spooky activity so you don't all feel like you just sat around watching movies all night. OK GO.

Movies:
1. a random Scream - Just to start things off with something popular

2. Motel Hell - Pig mask and chainsaw! Joe Bob Briggs is great!

3. Troll 1 or 2 - Whichever had the baseball at the end, scared the hell out of me as a kid.

4. Leperachaun in the Hood - Ice T's in it, so terrible it's scary.

5. Nothing - Everyone would leave after I put the last one on.

Activity:
Dodging things people threw at me for playing Leperachaun in the Hood.

Chestnuts roasted by Trampus @ 09/21/2004 04:13 AM EST

#1: Brain Dead (think it was called Dead Alive in the US)
#2: Meet the Feebles (scary dirty muppets *shudders*)
#3: Evil Dead
#4: Bad Taste
#5: Dawn of the Dead

Activity: A board game called Ghost House. You had to drop a glow in the dark skull through a coffin which would in turn set of booby traps around the house KILLING YOU. Mwahahaha (does anyone else remember this game or was it another of my childhood nightmares?)

Chestnuts roasted by ToeKnee @ 09/21/2004 04:13 AM EST

1. Night of the Lepus
2. Sleepy Hollow (the only movie that has *almost* made me faint)
3. Interview With a Vampire
4. Suspiria
5. House II

and for a 6th pick on hand: Dracula Dead and Lovin' It! or Once Bitten.

Chestnuts roasted by kittygirl @ 09/21/2004 04:31 AM EST

1. Devil's Rain (so everyone could see the Michael Myers/Bill Shatner mask at the end)

2. Donnie Darko (Frank is about the scariest shit I've ever seen)

3. Jacob's Ladder (isn't that the one w/ the jerky shadows that drag people off to Hell? Shudder...)

4. Gremlins (for fun)

5. The Deer Hunter (more of a psychological horror, but an awesome movie, so I'd have to include it)

As for an activity - drinking and carving pumpkins. We could use the pumpkin cuts as poultices for when everyone gets bleery-eyed and starts chopping off appendages.

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 09/21/2004 08:07 AM EST

My favorite scary movies are Shining and Poltergeist.

But I would prefer watching these movies on MST3K:

The Touch of Satan
Werewolf
Soultaker
The Brain that Wouldn't Die
"Manos" The Hands Of Fate
I Was a Teenage Werewolf
Hobgoblins

Activity? When I was little we played Hide and Seek in the dark once.. So how about any activity, just in the dark.

Chestnuts roasted by springsprite @ 09/21/2004 08:32 AM EST

No way that vomit was worth $.50. It'd be lucky if it sold at a quarter.
Also, they "stuck on your shoe" accessory should have been made to look like a dog turd. Easier to replicate and more believable.
I liked the bug oozing, though. That would be cool to throw into the bottom of someone's backpack or at the bottom of their landry hamper. The weight of the books (or clothes) would squoosh the guts out, and the bug itself would be tangled up in everything, in all of its sticky glory.

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 09/21/2004 09:35 AM EST

hey matt, you almost make me want to work in the city with all the funny shit you see on a weekly basis. but, its still not worth the commute.

Mr Peanut looks like his is driving a huge yellow penis.

Ok now to movies-

Chestnuts roasted by Mr Mango @ 09/21/2004 10:33 AM EST

Geez, I want to work where you get to see Mr Peanut on a regular basis. Not to mention GIANT FREAKIN ROBOTS. That Dracula show ever start?

5. The Mothman Prophecies

Activity: Sport hunting the tourists who invade my city every October and make any drive from my house to anywhere take about 20-30 minutes longer than it should. Asswipes.

1. House on Haunted Hill
2. Dawn of the Dead (first one)
3. Evil Dead 2
4. The Exorcist

Activity: Take my clothes off. That's enought to freak anybody out.

Chestnuts roasted by Rayzak @ 09/21/2004 12:41 PM EST

1) Godmonster of Indian Flats (Giant killer sheep movie. Really.)

2) Donnie Darko (It's got a Halloween connection and I've been looking for an excuse to watch it again.)

3) The Thing (Despite having seen this movie at least a dozen times over the years, it still makes me jump.)

4) The Attic Expeditions (Because one of these days I'm going to watch that movie with someone and actually figure out what happens in it. Also, Seth Green was great.)

5) Eraserhead (I don't know anyone who's made it all the way through a viewing of Eraserhead. Figure that'd be a good way of clearing the room when it got to be that time.)

Hmm, only one actual horror movie... Oh well...

As for a spooky activity... I guess the scariest thing I can come up with off the top of my head would be for guests to help me clean my fridge. There's bound to be stuff in there that'll put a Hollywood effects crew to shame. And I think it's moving... Aaaaahhh...

Chestnuts roasted by AgentSix @ 09/21/2004 12:55 PM EST

The Exorcist
The Sixth Sense
Signs
Friday the 13th
Nightmare on Elm Street

Activity: Ouija(Spelling?) Board

Chestnuts roasted by J-Dog @ 09/21/2004 01:00 PM EST

Yeah, I was going to suggest that the Ouija board be taken out, at risk of it not working and nobody having fun. However, depending on who is going to the party, there could be that one kid who ALWAYS FUCKING manipulates the damn ouija board pointer thing, to make it say worthless things, like so and so's moms a whore, and that so and so blows dead goats.
Speaking of blowing animals, you know in "The Shining" where she is running up the stairs, and then she see's this...well, it's a bear, giving this other guy a blowjob. The woman puts on a mortified face, and then runs off, and another word is never mentioned about it. Hold the Phone. Pop quiz. What would I do, if I were in a haunted hotel, and a man was trying to get at me with a blade, and I saw a guy in a bear suit giving some other stooge head? It would have something to do with grabbing him by his bear collar, taking off his mask, and sputtering in his face "Th-this is n-no time for beeaaaarrrr bloooowwwwjoooobss!"

Did anyone offer up the film "The Changeling?" Well they should have if they didn't. It's a fine film.

Does anyone remember a movie from the late 70's involving ventriloquist dummies and their owner killing people. This movie terrorized me as a kid, it had a clown dummy and I remember a line going something like "Clown knows" were the guys main dummy turns its head on its own and speaks.(Clown new about a killing I think). I believe the guy who starred in it was the one on the TV show Soap with a ventriloquism dummy, but IMDB doesn't list a credit for this movie under his name. If anyone can help I will be forever grateful!

My 5 would include this one along with:
Phantasm
Exorcist 1
Exorcist 3
Trilogy of Terror
The Other

Chestnuts roasted by Evan @ 09/21/2004 01:26 PM EST

I don't know yet since I own about 70 different horror movie titles, but if I had to..

The Shining
Night of the Living Dead
Nosferatu
House on Haunted Hill (Not the remake, the 1950s version.)
Psycho

Ths scary activity: Hide and go seek in the dark. This one can be scary as hell since if you're hiding in a closet you can scream real loud and grab them which is always a turn on.
You can do all kinds of other scary crap in that game if you think about it.

Hmmm...my five:
1. IT (really long, but I love Stephen King)
2. The Shining (again- Stephen King)
3. The Ring (scared me in the theatre!)
4. Donnie Darko (great film)
5. The Exorcist (It absolutely is the scariest movie ever.)
For my activity, I agree with Corwin- Hide and seek in the dark, but outdoors, only. I live in the woods, and I have done this activity on my birthday in November...it wasn't supposed to be scary...but is was. It always is.

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 09/21/2004 01:55 PM EST

Mike, I think the movie your thinking of is "Magic"

Chestnuts roasted by Trash @ 09/21/2004 02:12 PM EST

Awesome Donnie Darko props.

I want to add a cartoon. Dot and the Kangaroo. No, don't laugh. Seriously. That bunyip, he was mucho scario.

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 09/21/2004 02:15 PM EST

OK...five movies...hmm:

Halloween
Nightmare on Elm Street
Friday the 13th
Blair Witch Project
and Pee Wee's Big Adventure (scare 'em shitless!)

As for the actvity, I would say the drinking of Halloween-themed beer. In other words, beer dyed black, or orange, or perhaps even red.

Mexican hide and seek

Chestnuts roasted by Evan @ 09/21/2004 02:28 PM EST

How about editing together all the clown parts from as many movies as we can find? The clown surgeons from Pee-Wee, Joker from the the original Batman series, because Ceasar Romero made him both insane and erudite, Joker from the Tim Burton Movie, because it's Jack, Pennywise from IT, The John Vernon puppet scene from Killer Klowns, and whatever else you can thnk of. And between each segment, that bit from the John Wayne Gacy TV movie when Brian Dennehey says something about how no one would suspect a clown. I'm not coulrophobic, but I am a carrier.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 09/21/2004 02:42 PM EST

Thanks Trash!

That movie name and my overwhelming fear of clowns and ventriliquism dummies (Especially Ventriliquism Clown Dummies) has been the bane of my existence for years!! I just IMDB'd it and that is it. I can't believe the established actors that were in it. I was eight when it was made, and saw it on HBO back in the day -- so I was maybe nine. I bet it is one of those movies you see as a kid and feel like it was the most scary thing ever, now it would probably bore me to death. But many thanks!

*shudders* clowns...

Chestnuts roasted by Mara @ 09/21/2004 03:25 PM EST

5 Movies:

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (original) - I don't care what anyone says. No movie is scarier than this one. The Dinner scene alone is enough to freak people out for the whole night.

Alien - Not usually mentioned in the same breath as other horror movies but still scary as hell. In fact, in my film class in high school we spent a month on horror and this is one of the films we watched. Deservedly so.

Halloween - Duh! (I might switch this one with the original Psycho actually, depending on just who I invited. Some people would complain about the black and white)

Ghostbusters - If you're watching 5 halloween movies you need something to give you a break from the horror. This is an absolute classic and it still fits the theme.

Freddy Vs. Jason - I'm a fan of the early films in both series'. I couldn't figure out which one I'd like to represent and then it dawned on me that I could hit both. I was a fan of this film too.

As for an activity:

Beer Pong Tournament!!!! Who cares if it's halloween themed or not. Any day's a good day for Beer Pong and we could play our games while we watched the movies. Sweet!

Chestnuts roasted by T.J. @ 09/21/2004 04:21 PM EST

1. Any Nightmare on Elm Street Movie

Chestnuts roasted by Grandmaster Useless @ 09/21/2004 05:29 PM EST

It's very difficult to choose 5, but here's my contributions (one movie per director):

1) Suspiria (Dario Argento, 1977)

2) Carnival of Souls (Herk Harvey, 1962)

3) Session 9 (Brad Anderson, 2001)

4) Night of the Living Dead (George Romero, 1968)

5) The Masque of the Red Death (Roger Corman, 1964)

5)Dawn of the Dead (original)

Chestnuts roasted by Terd Fergusson @ 09/21/2004 06:16 PM EST

Oh, I forgot to add an activity.

After all the movies were over, I would wake up to the sound of static on my television and I would realize there hadn't been anyone at my house at all. Then I would go into my room and cry, and play Silent Hill until I blacked out from the combination of fright and loneliness.

Nah, just kidding. After that many movies it would probably be really late. I would suggest a night game of hide-and-go-seek and then lock everyone outside while I went to bed.

The Shining
The Exorcist
Nightmare on Elm Street Dream Warriors (3?)
Plan 9 from Outer Space
From Dusk Til Dawn

Rosemary's Baby is a favorite, but I've never been able to get a group of people to sit through it without losing interest. Perhaps perfect for clearing out the party?

Spooky activity: Hmm, about going through all the receipts for assorted holiday-themed cereals and gooey body parts and figuring out the total? Nope, too scary, even for Halloween.

Texas Chainsaw Massicre (possible substitue Texas Chainsaw Massicre 3 if the video store has rented TCM out which it always does... lousy video stores, if you want to watch a good horror movie on Halloween you have to rent it September 3rd and pile up late fees for 2 months)
uh... what was the topic?

Chestnuts roasted by s0fa @ 09/21/2004 08:26 PM EST

hmm...anyone else have the side banner with the close up eye that keeps flashing? I've got to say, it's the scariest thing I've seen in a while...except of course the spooky Halloween theme on xe

Chestnuts roasted by Mara @ 09/21/2004 08:50 PM EST

The activity is easy - bobbing for apples. The apples have been good this year, I'm an old-fashioned woman, and I've always WANTED to see someone actually try that. The movies, however, as a non-horror fan, are going to be harder....

1. "Ghostbusters" - We'll start with a giggle and one of the great horror comedies.

2. "Young Frankenstein" - Still funny and still classic, but not quite the pure comedy that "Ghostbusters" is.

3. "Scream," just so everyone can get their blood quota in and I can go hide somewhere for an hour and a half, because I get queasy over a papercut.

4. One of the classic Universal horror flicks - "The Mummy," "Dracula," "Frankenstein," "The Bride of Frankenstein," "The Wolf Man." Whatever I can rent or borrow from my dad.

5. "The Others" - One of the few horror movies I've ever LIKED, and a night way to end the party on some good, spooky atmosphere.

As for the Halloween Countdown, that cockroach is just so wrong. It reminds me too much of the fact that I desperately need to get my landlady to get similar creatures out of MY apartment...

Chestnuts roasted by starwenn @ 09/21/2004 09:14 PM EST

OK, so I keep having reoccouring dreams about a cereal I used to enjoy in my wilder youth. It had something to do with genies, and it was star shaped and sprinkled. They sort of tasted like the non marshmallow pieces in lucky charmes. Except wayyyy better. Does anyone know of these, or are they just a figment of my imagination brought on by watching Aladin on LSD?

Chestnuts roasted by Liz @ 09/22/2004 05:28 AM EST

Whoooooa - the longer I spend in the world, the more I realise: I don't belong here...

Been reading Terry Pratchett's Carpe Jugulum, very Halloweeny, with Vampires, witches and the Nac mac Feegle. Although the Feegles are funny, not scary. Mmmmmm.

Lessee, the apartheid government banned Texas Chainsaw Massacre original, as was considered too horribly violent; it was only unbanned a few years ago. By now, however, it too is simply funny. I find all old horror movies funny, especially apocralyptic ones starring Demi Moore and a cigarette-smokin' angel who tells her her baby will grow up to be the Antichrist. So she says: "If we kill him, will God give the world another chance??" ::groans::

So, can only watch several Mel Brooks films. Especially Dracula: Dead and Lovin' It ["Give him an enema! It will give him a sense of accomplishment!" ], and Robin Hood, Blazin' Saddles... any really stupid Wayans Brothers Scream-ripoff, and Valentine! Yeurgh! Bloody clever twists at the end.

For activity (if I were to celebrate We'en, which I won't - no one else does, so no possibility of candy) will hang obliGatory [note...the...G...Matt!] long strings of black cotton thread from ceiling, all the way to the bathroom. Everyone who goes there will scream horribly, so everyone else will say "Oh, please, you aren't scaring anybody you know..." until they go and - FIND OUT!!! Bwahahahaaaaa!

*ahem*. Sorry. It could be too much coffee, but I think it's probably lack of. :B

No Terd Fergusson, YOU suck. I liked Mothman Prophecies, probably because I wasn't familiar with the actual legend....I don't have to defend my movie choices to you!

Chestnuts roasted by B-Dawg @ 09/22/2004 09:55 AM EST

Starwenn,
I agree "The Others" is a good atmosphere movie. it would give a creepy vibe.
Thinking back on it I would like to add the movie Waxwork to the mix. That movie is B grade genious!

Chestnuts roasted by Jenner @ 09/22/2004 10:50 AM EST

Classic Disney Halloween Special with the night on bald mountain, the legend of sleep hallow and that sadistic short where Donald duck plays tricks on the 3 nephews. ( I hope one of the Disney channels plays this again.)

At a party I’d want to watch scary shorts If it was possible make a best of Tales from the crypt, Tales from the dark side and Alferd Hitchcock Presents, Some stuff from Spike and Mike Sick and Twisted Animation. Other than Creep Show are there any scary shorts compilations that people could recommend.

At the end with the few people passing out with me I’d put in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligary with some nice dark drone music.

Activity
“Light as a feather Stiff as a Board” I’ve never done it. I know this only works for 10 year olds at girl scout camps, but I still think I missed out and want to try.

Chestnuts roasted by Angela @ 09/22/2004 11:44 AM EST

1) Halloween
2) Night of the Living Dead (The original)
3) House of 1000 Corpses
4) Rocky Horror Picture Show (Gotta have some fun)
5) It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown (It's not a movie, but it's essential Halloween viewing)

As for the activity, probably just a horror/Halloween trivia game.

Chestnuts roasted by Tech @ 09/22/2004 12:41 PM EST

I wanted to add Tales From the Darkside (which is one of my favs now thanks to Matt) and Rocky Horror to my list as well, but I didn't since that would be cheating (more than 5, yo). Are Will and I the only ones who like From Dusk Til Dawn? Young Frankenstein and Dracula: DALI are both excellent for funny/horror as well, though people seem to find Young Frankie a bit dry.
Hey, speaking of Tales from the Darkside, anybody think Buscemi was robbed the other night?

1 -- Twitch of the Death Nerve
2 -- Blood and Black Lace
3 -- Profondo Rosso (in Italian)
4 -- The Beyond
5 -- Day of the Dead

Fun activities -- Sharing scary urban legends about horrible ways local people were murdered on Halloween. Pass out pictures downloaded from rotten.com. Serve a lot of dark red food like Black cherry kool-aide and lasagna to see if it bothers anyone.

For a spooky Halloween that gives people trouble getting any sleep at all (this would be MY 'ween of choice)--

1 -- Black Sabbath
2 -- Night of the Demon (1957)
3 -- Night of the Living Dead
4 -- Suspiria
5 -- The Haunting (1963)

My activity would be a relaxed discussion about personal experiences with the "otherworldly". With the lights still low, naturally. Maybe some soft, creepy music.

In no particular order...

1. Jeepers Creepers
2. In The Mouth Of Madness
3. Tales From The Crypt: Demon Knight
4. Event Horizon
5. American Werewolf In Paris

relatively new, well known flicks that dont require your full attention, but will provide visceral eye candy, turn off the volume, play "whats that smell", get utterly wankered until everyones compares "Exorcist" impressions (use somebody elses house obviously).

Oh, and Mass Pumpkin orgy. Just make sure you smooth the edges of the holes...

-Take several pumpkins.
-Scoop out the guts of them and place them in a bowl
-Take the biggest pumpkin and put several holes in it of various sizes
-Warm up the guts in teh microwave

-Get stoned/drunk out of yor mind
-Fill the big pumpkin until it's full.

Throw some cockroaches in there for good measure.

-Throw the pumpkins out and smack yourself in the face. Then run out to the trash and hump-away.

How about Night of the Lepus?

Chestnuts roasted by Bob Knight @ 09/24/2004 07:30 AM EST

Here's my list, they've all been mentioned but I think they're all great:

Jacob's Ladder
Evil Dead 2
Dead Alive
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Phantasm

And hide & seek in the dark sounds fun.

And of course throughout the whole night you should be getting as wasted as possible.

Fave Horror Films
1. Nightmare on Elm Street (so bad, they're great)
2. Amityville Horror (part 1 was filmed down the street from where my dad had his deli! He passed by the house!)
3. I Know What You Did Last Summer (ok, this movie is bad)
4. Child's Play
5. Scream

Whenever I see "I Know What You Did Last Summer," I can't help but giggle at Sarah Michelle Gellar's demise and scream when Freddie Prinze Jr. get hit by the killer's hook--I was in ninth grade when I saw this in a movie theater on Halloween, and I yelled "No! Don't kill him! He's too good looking!"

And About Amityville Horror, the house is on Water Street in Toms River, New Jersey. It's been redone since, but then again, everyone knows this!!!

Oh, and while I'm plugging sites in Ocean County, New Jersey, I gotta mention a weird landmark 15 minutes from my house--the chair on top of the old house in West Creek/Eagleswood Twp., New Jersey! It's pretty creepy! Hey Matt, that's a suggestion. You should visit it!!!!!

BTW, even though these aren't even remotely scary, I like watching the Goonies, It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, and anything Scooby-Doo around Halloween b/c they are the perfect Halloween classics!!!! Not everything has to be horror, and not everything has to have the "ARTISAN" production company logo on it. ARTISAN sucks!!!

annnnnd...

5. The Worst Witch (I own it on DVD and I found your site by searching for it on yahoo. I love that movie.)

I think If I could, i would get a door prize...like the grosser than gross packs all combined, rent some movies and play 6 degrees of separation or whatever it is called. But alas, that would require alot of planning and research. So, here is the five random scary, or so terrible it's scary movies I'd like to play:

Rock Horror Picture Show
Shock Treatment
IT
(this terribly cheesey movie about a serial killer haunting and killing through electricity when his death by electric chair goes awry)
The Ugly.

As for a game that I'd pul out of my ass because I wasn't expecting it to happen, probably indoor foxtag or indoor capture the flag, full contact to add to the danger...just think turning off the light and running into walls and crap all for a tea-towel.

Chestnuts roasted by Bitsy&Roary @ 09/26/2004 01:16 PM EST

I'd probably go a diff route than others that have posted...

I'd show movies like Ichi the Killer, PreMutos, Salo, real mindf*cks.
