NewscomaGot A Two-Pack Habit And A Motel Tan

No really.

I have no idea where this came from but I am afeared.

Screaming Jay Hawkins for Halloween’s Feel Good Friday.

Jeez. This is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen. Just in time for Halloween and my own damned nightmares.

Creepy.

I received this email today as well but Skippy has all the pictures on why pets hate Halloween.

Mabel would look good in the chef hat. Duff would look good in the pot.

Reasons why Hoots sometimes doesn’t meet my needs, campers.

No dog Halloween costumes.

I’m going to tell you a story that you aren’t going to believe and that is, although I’m an extremely social person (usually in juke joints where I can let my hair down and I’m not judged for it) I like staying home on Halloween.

Halloween is my favorite holiday. When I was a kid, my dad would call me his little pumpkin because I was born in October. Or it could have been that I was shaped like a pumpkin. One never knows.

We were never really a pumpkin carving kind of family. My mom just didn’t like the mess but I enjoy seeing other people relish in getting their carving on.

The youngest niece who we call Bear announced last week that she wanted to be a hooker for Halloween. Homer, who is a great mom, didn’t say anything as Bear was just trying to get a rise out of us. I asked Bear, who is 9-years-old, where she got this idea and did she know what a hooker was.

“Aunt Tick, they wear really high heels and date lots of boys,” she said gleefully.

I don’t think she fully grasped what hookers actually do with the boys but Homer went on a diligent Halloween costume hunt without making a big deal out of it.

Bear will now be a Monster Bride.

So, I’m probably going to avoid the parties on Halloween and stay home alone, watching my beloved horror movies and cuddling with Mabel, Duff and Kirby while trying to get the big dog to avoid eating Trick-or-Treaters.

Tis my way.

Squirrel Queen has a post that clearly points out that the BBC has a better sense of humor than anything coming out of the United States right now.

How about a Zombie Big Brother. I’m in.

The storyline of this fictional show has the castmembers of a Big Brother show trapped in their home playing to win the cash prize while outside the house/set zombies have taken over the world. Then when each houseguest is eliminated, they exit the safe house and the first thing they encounter is the undead seeking to eat their brains.

How is that for groovy.

From the Guardian:

Brooker has conjured up a very clever satire, mocking the people who take part in these shows and the sort of people who watch them. In one brief scene a zombie, drooling blood and spittle, sits transfixed by the Big Brother live feed. Such are the perils of watching too much telly.

Endemol, which makes Big Brother, also produced Dead Set. Talk about having your cake – or should that be zombie? – and eating it.

It is also very scary. In an era when TV eschews the horror genre, I can’t remember anything quite like it. It makes Ultraviolet – remember that? – look like children’s hour.

Hoping I can find a bootleg somewhere because if you watch the clip at the link, there is a ton of bitching awesome going on here.

This is Anna. I’m friends with her parents and when I saw these photos this morning, I had to smile. These photos were taken in Hoots and they are adorable.

Her mother, Stephanie, has additional photos of her on her blog, Life on the Farm.

This is just funny. Hysterically funny.

The chick in the orange shirt just damn well abandoned her co-hosts to die.

Hee.

Bigfoot or a bear with a bad skin condition?

How Groovy for a fine Halloween morning. I’m going with Bigfoot, dammit. I have to. I must!!

…the only thing certain about the critter photographed by a hunter’s camera is that some people have gotten the notion it could be a Sasquatch, or bigfoot. Others say it’s just a bear with a bad skin infection.Rick Jacobs says he got the pictures from a camera with an automatic trigger that he fastened to a tree in the Allegheny National Forest, about 115 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, hoping to photograph deer.

Yay!!!!! Still taking donations for the first ever Newscoma/Bigfoot Expedition!

This isn’t the scariest scene, in my opinion, from “Night of the Hunter” but it depicts some creepiness nonetheless.

Robert Mitchum plays a conman-psycho who has issues with sex in this film, the only one ever directed by actor Charles Laughton. Shot in a surreal fashion probably best suited for a children’s fantasy, it’s creepy. The scenes from Mitchum and Shelley Winters, who just wants to consummate her marriage, is painful to watch but I couldn’t find the eeriest clip, which has Winters sitting in a car at the bottom of a the river.

But this isn’t bad.

Watch this movie as soon as possible if you haven’t already.

When I was a kid, the movie “The Day After” scared the hell of of me. No, not because Steve Guttenberg was in it, but because no one knew that the bombs were coming.

I was a kid. It scared me.

A lot.

Incidentally, I know the special effects are cheesy. Didn’t matter.
