NecroTV

Since I redesigned the site earlier this year, I won't be changing the look for the approaching Halloween season. However, I will be adding some new features to the site. The hope is to have "NecroTV" ready by September 1st. It will be updated with a revolving door of Halloween specials for sitcoms and cartoons and maybe even a full movie or two. Again, this is only in the planning stages right now and not a promise.

So, with that said, what kind of shows would you like to see? Have a favorite sitcom special or cartoon you'd like to see on here?

Button Pushers

Here is a video from one of my favorite bands, Stolen Babies. The song is called "Push Button." Their musical style and the art in the video seemed quite appropriate for a mention on here. Go buy their album There Be Squabbles Ahead because it's really, really good.

The Halloween Tree(s)

I've always been intrigued by bonsai trees. So much so that I recently purchased one and have it sitting, peacefully, on my desk. I've been thinking, since they are only miniature versions of real trees, they shouldn't be left out on the decorating fun of Halloween. Well, knowing I couldn't be the only one thinking that, I did a quick search for something of interest. Below are some of my favorites so far:





Absolutely brilliant. The empty tree with the painting in the background is perfect. To view more visit The Art of Bonsai Project.

Open Your Gates!

One of the bigger haunted attractions located (somewhat) close to me is the Land of Illusion. It's set up as one of those "parks" with multiple houses/mazes/etc. I am excited to know that it opens September 2nd! That gives PLENTY of time to attend at least once this year.

That's one of my gripes with haunted attractions. They are typically only open through the month of October with maybe a single weekend in September. It's virtually impossible to get to more than one attraction in a single night and you can't expect to go to a different one every weekend.

I always get a feeling of "time is running out" half way through October and I've been to only one, if any at all, each year. So, with that said, thank you Land of Illusion!

Munsters Remake

NBC is apparently giving the revamp of The Munsters a second chance. Here's what the claim is:

This isn't your mummy's The Munsters. While the original was a half-hour sitcom about blue collar Monster-Americans, Fuller's take on The Munsters will be an edgier, slightly darker hour-long show. Fuller is expected to more deeply explore the origins of how the residents of 1313 Mockingbird Lane came to be.

Hour-long episodes? Seems like it might work, but it might also botch the whole Munsters image. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
