Child of Glass [31 DVDs of Halloween]
I won't be surprised if you've never heard of the 1978 made-for-TV Disney movie Child of Glass. I was very possibly the only blogger on the internet excited about its DVD debut this year, when I learned back in April that Disney had begun to release obscure...
Sleepy Hollow [31 DVDs of Halloween]
Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a classic ghost story that goes hand-in-hand with Halloween, and there have been hundreds of different adaptations over the years. I've already included Disney's animated version from 1949 on this countdown, and...
Always a bridesmaid…
Just a quick update to let you guys know I'll be away this weekend to attend my cousin's wedding, and therefore posts around here will be a little thin. However, through the magic of WordPress's "Schedule Post" function, the 31 DVDs of Halloween countdown will...
The Nightmare Before Christmas [31 DVDs of Halloween]
I assume by now that everyone has seen the stop-motion animated classic The Nightmare Before Christmas. And if not, well, maybe it's time we sit down and have a little chat. I'm not mad, honey. I'm just disappointed. This move is simply a must-see. Produced by Tim...
Trick ‘r Treat [31 DVDs of Halloween]
This is the new Halloween hotness right here, kids! From the first time I so much as heard about Trick 'r Treat back in 2007 and saw the first couple of screenshots, I knew it was destined to become a Halloween favorite and I couldn't wait to see it. The problem...
ShezCrafti Then & Now: The State of the Site
The League is mixing things up yet again this week with a topic that steps outside our regularly scheduled pop culture programming. Go grab yourself a snack or something--I suggest these--and settle in, because this is going to be a long post. Write a “State of the...
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban [31 DVDs of Halloween]
The Harry Potter movies have started to become something of a fixture on television around this time of year, so I don't think I'm surprising anyone by including one on this countdown, and if you're already a Harry Potter fan, you probably won't learn anything new...
Lady in White [31 DVDs of Halloween]
Welcome to the most underrated film on this countdown! Released in 1988, Lady in White is one of the first "horror" movies I can ever recall seeing. The quotes around "horror" are necessary because as I'll soon point out, this movie seems to suffer from an identity...
Garfield’s Halloween Adventure [31 DVDs of Halloween]
Most people would probably pick It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown as their go-to animated Halloween special, but for my money Garfield's Halloween Adventure is where it's at. That's not to say I don't love The Great Pumpkin--it will undoubtedly make an...
Free Halloween Costume Ideas, Courtesy of Pre-Trainwreck Adam Sandler
Remember back when Adam Sandler was funny? Remember when we used to laugh at all his obnoxious voices and stupid faces? Remember that one time on Weekend Update when he spouted off a bunch of silly ideas for costumes you can make for free using stuff you've got...
The Addams Family [31 DVDs of Halloween]
The Addams Family is a family that really needs no introduction, especially not from someone who's too young to remember the original TV show and therefore cannot possibly pay enough respect, but I'll do my best anyway. I assume you're already familiar with The...
Witch’s Night Out [31 DVDs of Halloween]
Today's Halloween DVD pick is one that was buried deep down in my early childhood memories for a long time. Released back in 1978--three years before I was born--Witch's Night Out is an animated television Hallowen special starring Gilda Radner that originally...
