How do those other Hooksexup bloggers celebrate Halloween? Strangely, it’s not too different from every other day around here…
• Tired of all the Thriller videos out there? (Even the Filipino prisoners have moved on to the mambo.) Scanner’s moved on to Hot Blood’s 1977 freak-out Soul Dracula. Yes, Scanner Bryan, it is “a steaming bowl of awesome.”
Also: Do not eat the peanut butter crystal meth! Do buy Scanner the Freddie Mercury doll. And Contest of the Day: who’s the hottest Hollywood horror victim? If you take a stab at it (mwa-ha-ha), you might win a very special prize.
• Speaking of horror films, Screengrab applauds and is astounded by Noel Murray’s Year-By-Year with Friday the 13th. If you ever wanted to know, for example, that “1984's Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter dates itself with "a hospital orderly [who] watches a jazzercise video” or that by 1986, "the boys look like Bruce Springsteen and the girls look like either Madonna or Lisa Bonet” then check out this Jasonology.
Also, get to know “That Gal!” Linda Hunt; she may have won her Academy Award for playing a man, but she’s one hell of a woman. And if cross-dressing isn’t Halloween-y enough for ya, check out Aliens versus Predators…in a sporting goods department.
• The Hooksexup Video Blog celebrates Halloween with multiple versions of Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin: which is better, the original or the re-dub (best line: “sit your bony ass down”)?
Also, dancing with Ghoul-a-Go-Go, linguistic lessons (literally) with a sexy European schoolmarm and home videos featuring exploding pumpkins. Best line? “Dad, you’re on fire.”
