HIPPIELUVN'S HALLOWEEN HORRORTHON 2015

[hippieluvn]

Yesterday was the 55th anniversary of The Andy Griffith Show, my favorite TV show of all-time



So I watched the haunted house episode, which I do every year for Halloween



And we're making plans to attend Mayberry Days next year in Griffith's hometown of Mount Airy, NC

Last night, I also watched all of the Halloween-themed episodes from Roseanne

[Murfreesboro]

The Andy Griffith Show truly is a classic of the genre.

Tonight, I'm watching Halloween episodes of Frasier and Home Improvement

I remember that episode of the AGS. Turned out the haunted house was being used to make moonshine and the ghost.story kept poor Barney scared to death.

I always looked at Floyd as the first openly gay character on TV. Think about it? He was a hair stylist and was not the most masculine guy. He was always....ooooing and ahhhhing all over the place. You never saw him with a woman and was a lousy fisherman. You also noticed that he and Howard were always hanging out together...

[Murfreesboro]

OMG, that's funny about Floyd.

At our house, Frasier is sacred. We have the whole series on DVD, and Frasierisms have permeated our family's speech ("You're quite the Bolshoi artist yourself"; "Never again to romp in the fens and spinneys"; "Well-played, God"). They always had terrific holiday episodes, and their Halloween episodes were excellent.

Tonight, I'm watching the 2004 remake of Salem's Lot

[hippieluvn]

Oh, and for my fellow 007 fans out there...

Only one month left until the U.S. release of...



Which includes an intense action scene from Mexico's Day of the Dead

Last night, I also watched all of the Halloween-themed episodes from Roseanne

Leon "eww, is that real?!"

Roseanne "no , I just doctored-up some of the loose meat."

So looking forward to Spectre. Best Bond yet IMO.

I don't recall if I've ever seen the remake of Salem's Lot. I know I've seen the sequel to the original, which wasn't very good.

[hippieluvn]

2004 remake is better than sequel but not as good as original - however, I enjoy it

It's closer to the Stephen King novel, which I've read multiple times and still enjoy

[Kolchak]

The original Salem's Lot is an Halloween staple...............

But I still think it would have been cooler if Starsky shows up in the red Torino at the last moment and together he and Hutch do some serious vampire shooting.

That's how I would have changed the ending.

Huggy Bear would be there too and take Kurt Barlows fangs as a trophy and put them in a jar back at The Pits! Think of all the stories he could tell while the boys were shooting pool and tossing back a few cold ones?

[NeverMore]

Somebody's showing their age. I thought Ben Stiller and Owen WIlson were Starsky and Hutch?

[Andybev01]

You are to Pampers what kolchak is to Depends.

And both of you are full of it.
