| 1371 | Article | Vaporman87 | Beautiful read. I really feel the spirit of Halloween now! As for poor Steve, I can relate. I recall that, one year, I (by myself) decorated the pathway from our driveway to our door and prepared to scare trick-or-treaters (as opposed to actually trick-or-treating myself), only to find that barely anyone wanted to make the long walk up our driveway to our house. I feel Steve's pain. Living here in Rutland, we are WELL aware of when trick-or-treating starts and stops, because the fire department's siren sounds to begin and end the event. There is no mistaking when you're DONE, and the residents get to chow down on their own remaining sweets. I have to say, I love the layout of this piece. Just love it. It sucks that search engines won't find it because it's an image (well, unless they're LOOKING for an image of course) but it's like finding treasure... those who do find it will be very happy they did. Thanks a bunch for a great read vkimo. You never disappoint. | Oct 04, 2014 |  | |
| 1372 | Article | Vaporman87 | So much good stuff here... great stuff! The story of Halloween and your family's reverence for it is awesome. And you have so many great items that you can look to to inspire you to recapture the love of Halloween every year. I can only wish that my dad felt the same way about these occasions. For mine, it was more or less a night to relax in the quiet of our absence. My mom made an effort get us in the mood with decorations in the house and something festive to eat but... no. You guys really make it a family affair and that's what I strive to do with my own family. We do the *gasp* family costume thing. LOL. Every year. It's a real treat and I know that my kids will look back on it fondly... the idea that we enjoyed the night TOGETHER. Thanks for letting us experience Halloween through your eyes from yesterday and today. It was awesome. | NLogan's Retro Halloween Overload | Oct 04, 2014 | |
| 1379 | Article | Vaporman87 | I live in a house but it is so out of the way that few people would enjoy much of anything I did to it for Halloween. With Christmas, lights can always get a person's attention. But Halloween is typically all about darkness, so it's hard to get attention from way off for it. | Flannel Cornucopia | Oct 05, 2014 | |
| 1382 | Article | Vaporman87 | Where'd you get the meals at? What food place? Those sound cool. | NLogan's Retro Halloween Overload | Oct 05, 2014 | |
| 1385 | Article | Vaporman87 | @NLogan: Ahh, poo. It looks so cool!!! Darn it! | NLogan's Retro Halloween Overload | Oct 06, 2014 | |
| 1391 | Article | Vaporman87 | I am picturing Frankenstein's monster in the traditional look sitting in a chair, turning his head up to the camera, and saying "Welcome to Masterpiece Theater" in his best British accent. | Flannel Cornucopia | Oct 07, 2014 | |
| 1400 | Article | Vaporman87 | @NLogan: Ha! Frank is deep in thought about the dangers ISIL/ISIS and Ebola pose. | Flannel Cornucopia | Oct 08, 2014 | |
| 1401 | Article | Vaporman87 | That is certainly a weird concept for a Garfield story. I may have to look that up just to see what that's all about. And I was always a little creeped out by Neff's "Welcome to your doom" statement. I remember thinking it was hilarious to go into the sound effects menu of the game and repeatedly activate that sound, then mix it with "Rise from your grave". I know this, because I have it tape recorded. LOL. Creepshow had some pretty goosebump inducing parts, as did the second one. Overall, I think they were both pretty well done, but they are what they are... kind of tongue-in-cheek horror. Nice article Ben, and a fine way to wrap up this series. Good to see you back at it again. | Benjanime Scared Stupid III | Oct 08, 2014 | |
| 1406 | Article | Vaporman87 | I didn't realize Knott's was owned by Cedar Fair. They also own the two big Ohio parks (King's Island and Cedar Point). That's cool. Cedar Fair does do a Halloween/October makeover to each of those parks, but they aren't as elaborate as what happens at Knott's. Still, I'm guessing they put what they have learned from Knott's to work in those parks... which can only make them better. | Haunting Memories | Oct 09, 2014 | |
| 1408 | Article | Vaporman87 | Much as it does suck for it to become official, the truth that we all never really accepted was that Saturday Morning Cartoons died a long time ago. And by that, I mean they died when the 3 (and then 4) major networks got out of the SMC business. Smaller networks like CW may have carried the torch on for a bit longer, but not everyone gets a CW channel, and even if they do, fewer actually watch it. No my friend, Saturday Morning Cartoon had one foot in the grave for a long time. It's just really hard to accept the whole truth of it when it becomes official. Apparently we nostalgia nerds aren't the only ones who felt that way either, as I noticed a plethora of articles on the subject that headlined the largest sites on the net, including Yahoo!. They will be missed. | R.I.P. Saturday Morning Cartoons | Oct 09, 2014 | |
