This is Halloween!
Happy Halloween! Even though I had all month to keep updated and do the thing, here I am, scrambling away and trying to get something out at the last minute. I swear, it's like I sabotage myself on purpose because it's how I work best. ANYWAY! Here we are! What are we talking about?
Halloween movies! Well, I guess we'll use that term loosely, haha.
Don't get me wrong, these are good watches for the season, but of course, there could be better ones. These are what I'm working with though. It's the ones we have here on hand and I try to not depend on streaming services unless I really have to. So which ones am I talking about? Well, for you, I'll go ahead and list out everything I mentioned and talked about. What can I say? I'm a swell guy.
- The Goonies
- Back to the Future
- Addams Family
- Wednesday
- Ghostbusters
- Beetlejuice
- Alvin and the Chimpmunks Meet Frankenstein/Meet the Wolf Man
- Hocus Pocus
- E.T.
- Monster House
- Blade
- Scream 2
- The Batman
- Sleepy Hollow
- House on Haunted Hill
- Thirteen Ghosts
- Misery
- The Wizard
- The Lawnmower Man
As you can see, there's a few "that's not Halloween!" on there. I know! But for THAT explanation, you're going to have to listen to find out. Just know, we didn't even watch all of these! Time is a horrible, terrible thing that is relentless on its quest to push life along.
I will say though that I briefly went over some general physical media talk. I keep teasing the full show/talk about physical media but I've yet to find the courage to actually do it.
I also get into Shout! Factory news and pickups. Listen to the show to hear what exactly is Shout! Factory, but just know they distribute movies and have recently been bought out so there's fear of them not moving forward in their current form. So, I'm taking advantage of their fire sales and grabbing some cheap movies that I have been wanting from them. They're on that list above, but which ones are they, hmmmm?!?
OK, that's that. Yeah, this could have been more halloween, I'm sorry. But hey! You got something, and that's something!
Hope you enjoy and stay safe.
Until next time!

I have a personal take on the whole Shout! Factory situation, something that I didn't really want to dive into on the podcast because I wanted to keep it on topic. But if you want to see my views on it, head over to the blog and check out the link below for the show notes for this episode!
