Bunnicula

I read at least one Bunnicula book as a kid, notably Howliday Inn.

I don't think I've ever seen this TV special however, which popped up as a random suggestion for me on YouTube. It's a pretty fun piece of nostalgia, especially because the TV commercials are included. (Minor spoilers below)

I actually laughed out loud a couple of times. At 5:34, 2 kids find themselves in the path of a pumpkin avalanche. One kid says, "They're coming this way!" and his brother responds, "Don't announce it -- RUN!" 

Later, at 6:45, as the siblings are fighting over who gets to be in charge of Bunnicula:

Kid 1: "You can keep smelly old Harold [who is the family dog] in your room!"

Harold (aside): "At least I don't wear the same socks for three days in a row." 

 

 

Have fun with this one!

Vampire hijinks

The full trailer for What We Do in the Shadows season 3 has just been released:

 I'm pretty psyched! I really enjoyed the movie and the first 2 seasons.

Vampires vs. The Bronx

If you combined The Lost Boys and In the Heights in a blender, the resulting smoothie might be something like Vampires vs. The Bronx (2020), which is currently on Netflix. This one didn't change my life or anything but it was fun as hell to watch. Check out the trailer below -

 

My rating: 6/10 Jackos

Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter

What better way to celebrate the true meaning of Memorial Day: by remembering those brave soldiers who fought and died to win the Civil War by conquering the armies of the Confederacy (who were actually led by VAMPIRES). 

(*some spoilers ahead)

And we owe it all to the one man brave enough to not only stand up to them, but to assume the responsibility of leading our country: Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter.

I mean, who could forget this turning point in US history, where Abe discovers how to win the war:

------------------------------------------------

Honestly, this film was fun from start to finish, over the top in the best ways possible, and funny in its taking itself so seriously. The visual effects and costumes are pretty damned good as well. Watch this with some friends and have fun Mystery-Science-Theater-ing the hell out of it. 

Literally worth watching just to watch Honest Abe twirl his silver-tipped vampire-choppin' axe around.

I rate it 7/10 Jackos!

"I had killed a monster.

And I would kill again.

But no amount of death could make me forget."
