Halloween Marathon

Uncle POE · Post by **Uncle POE** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 10:43 pm

Hi All --- Just found this website and forum, and I plan to be a regular.

So, for my first forum topic, I just wanted to ask what was the schedule for everyone's own personal Halloween marathon this year (taking for granted those on a forum like this do so).

Here is mine:

8:00 a.m. Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed
10:00 a.m. Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein
11:30 a.m. The Simpsons: "Treehouse of Terror"
12:00 noon The Andy Griffith Show: "Haunted House"
12:20 p.m. Roseanne: "Halloween"
12:40 p.m. Newhart: "War of the Worlds"
1:00 p.m. The Brain That Wouldn't Die
2:30 p.m. The Return of the Vampire
4:00 p.m. Dracula (1979)
6:00 p.m. Mad Monster Party
7:30 p.m. "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown"
8:00 p.m. Halloween (1978)
9:30 p.m. Halloween II
11:00 p.m. Pumpkinhead
12:30 a.m. The Hollywood Knights
2:00 a.m. The Grave Dancers

This is a marathon day wrapping up a month-long Horror Movie Festival, and is pretty much the same every year.

Also, in the background I continually play one of the (now) 7 CDs from the band Nox Arcana (local guys that do great gothic soundtracks --- http://www.noxarcana.com).

Enjoy seeing others' Halloween Marathon schedule ...

I like your line up. BTW, I'm a big fan of Abbot and Costello and I love that movie, The Frankenstein Monster, Dracula and the Wolfman all make an appearance. A Classic.

Hey what about "The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown". That is always on my Schedule for Halloween.

The Roseanne/Halloween episodes are funny, but yes, Charlie Brown gets precedent on Oct. 31st!

Hey Uncle POE, welcome! Dutchess of Darkness LOVES Nox Arcana. I've listened to a few of their songs from their website, and they make great background music. I noticed at Spirit Halloween store they're selling their stuff at the check out counter.

Anyway, on topic, a good friend of mine does a Halloween film festival every year, this year is the tenth anniversary, so it's going to be a doozy. He starts Friday at 7pm and goes until Sunday at about 10pm. This year it's the weekend of October 19th-21st, a little early, but my wedding is on the 27th so he's doing me a favor. As soon as he has a schedule, I'll post it. He posted a few times on here last year, and let us vote on the cover art for the commemorative CD's he does of music fromt he movies he shows. It's a blasty blast.

Does Nox Arcana have songs now? I thought they just did instrumental music.

Though one of the recent CDs (I think its Carnival of Souls) has a vocal track that is actual singing, most of the vocals are spoken word pieces that moves the story concept along.

Every Nox Arcana CD is heavy in concept, almost like a soundtrack to a movie yet to be made.

Though my night is not as thoroughly planned as POEs, I have to say that usually around Halloween, I break out Halloween III Season Of The Witch, The Fog, Christine, and the first 4 Friday The 13ths.

I'm glad there is someone else out there that appreciates "Halloween III" --- I know how most people feel about this non-Michael Myers flick.

I thought John Carpenter had a great concept, doing a movie every year for Halloween. "Season of the Witch" has its flaws, but I think many more people would have embraced it had it not been called "Halloween III".

One of the super megastores has numerous horror movies on sale now for $5.00. I recently purchased the first four "Friday the 13th" films, which are just plain nostalgic and fun gruesomeness for the season.

Speaking of F13 ... this is one series I anticipate highly coming to DVD ... the television series that is. Despite the bizarre reason to call the program "Friday the 13th", it was an excellent horror series.

You and I see eye to eye POE.

FYI folks: Halloween III Season Of The Witch is an excellent Halloween tale seperate from the Myers saga.

Wal Mart has the F13's for 5 bucks a pop.

The series on box set? Niiice!
