Here's a vintage video that goes over safety tips for Trick-Or-Treating. It's narrated by a friendly jack-o-lantern. This was before my time, but it reminds me of something a school would show to students on Friday afternoon before they get released for the weekend and get ready to storm the neighborhoods on Saturday night. The portion dedicated to checking your candy is one I, and my friends, would laugh and joke about while secretly feeling a bit nervous taking that first bite of each piece.

Swing Away
It's hot outside. Like, unbearably hot. That can mean two things are certain. It's baseball season and you want to stay inside. Well, now you can enjoy both even if you aren't a huge baseball fan.
Nothing like killing zombies with the ol' bat and ball. Especially when you can do so in the comfort of your air conditioned house. Below is a screen shot of the title screen. It's pretty much just a boredom distraction/time killer type game. Have fun.

Monotony
Halloween is a great time of the year. The weather, decorations, haunted attractions, tv specials, parties, trick or treat, the list goes on and on. Something that seems a little repetitious, though, is the theme of costumes. For example:
Person 1: "What are you going to dress up as for the party?"
Person 2: "I don't know, I'm thinking about a vampire maybe."
Vampires, mummies, aliens, zombies, pirates, and countless movie characters. It just gets boring every now and then, you know? I would like to see costumes for all ages move in a new direction. Unashamed to admit my fascination with Norse mythology, I think it's safe to say it will be the main focus.
What do I have in mind you ask? TROLLS! No, not those jerks on your favorite internet forum ruining discussions.
No, not those kind of trolls, either. Although they might make an interesting costume choice as well.
I'm talking about the wretched beasts hell-bent on killing everything and stealing what they want from whomever they want. These kinds of trolls:
How would you feel showing up to a party or someone's front door dressed as something original and exciting for once? It'd be crucial to get it looking right and taking tons of time making it look like an authentic troll, but I believe that it'd be worth the work. Just an idea for anyone who thinks costumes are getting boring these days.

Walking Dead Season 2 Trailer

Monster Mash? Please, I Want A Party
Another trip back into the 90's in this post. It just seems like Halloween meant more back then. I guess that's because it was when I was a child and it was way more fun and I noticed more things than I care to consider now. Regardless, a big developing of my Halloween obsession started with the good ol' NES system and a game for it called Monster Party.
Here's a look at the box it came in:
If that doesn't pique your interest, then you are no Halloween fan. The funny thing about that box cover, though, is that some of the characters don't even appear as enemies for you to face. If they are in the game, they are so obscure that you'd never know.
That's one of the things that made this game a gem. It was extremely odd. I emphasize the word "odd" because it is the only real way of describing the storyline and the game in general. You are a boy coming home from a baseball game and a gargoyle asks you to help fight evil creatures in some other world or dimension. Of course, you reluctantly agree.
Since this isn't a review, necessarily, you can read the rest of the plot and enemy list here at the Wikipedia page.
It was a big deal at the time because it was the goriest and most frightening (for video games at least) video game of all time. It featured blood and death. It even says the word "Hell" (GASP) at one point in the game. This was coming from a game for the NES, mind you, which was created by a company who was a supporter of video game censorship.
Anyways, this game is a must play for anyone who's a fan of spooky anything that will get you in the mood for Halloween. As a matter of fact, NO EXCUSES! Don't have a NES system or the game? Suck it up, because here is a link to play it online and witness this bizarre piece of art for yourself.
