1410	Article	Benjanime	i have to agree with vapor, i think that pretty much when 4kidsTV came around, you just knew that the common pasttime of saturday cartoons just had to go. poorly edited anime, american girl cartoons that just try too hard to do the whole princess/fairy thing, and television producers that just like to put contests in the sweepstakes meat grinder. speaking of which, i remember when they had a contest for a chance to win a copy of shadow the hedgehog, an edgy sonic game that used minor explicit words, but i guess they missed that because of the E label on the esrb rating for it.

1415	Article	Hoju Koolander	Good stuff, Mike. It's crazy that the syndicated cartoons in the morning and afternoons co-existed for so long with the Saturday Morning cartoon block, but I suppose this was inevitable. That said, you hit on some of my favorites: Beetlejuice, Camp Candy and those Sunkist commercials are instant nostalgia for me. As for some of the others, I have a Hammerman VHS tape packed away somewhere (yes, it's terrible) and I bought the complete series of Hey Vern, It's Ernest for $5 at Wal-Mart a while back, I like to put it on while I'm cleaning the house on Saturday mornings.

1417	Article	pikachulover	The 4Kids block started the year I started college. So that was like a ceremonial ushering in of things. I don't know some of the 4Kids shows were watchable. I really liked the Winx Club, Fighting Foodons, Kirby, and Dinosaur King. ABC ran some decent cartoons for a few years in the early 2000s like Filmore. Sometimes when I'm feeling nostalgic I watch old Saturday morning cartoon commercial blocks on youtube. Sometimes I use them for article research.	R.I.P. Saturday Morning Cartoons	Oct 10, 2014

1419	Article	NLogan	Scary stories to tell in the dark are the best. My favorite was the wendigo. You need to track down the full length story by algernon blackwood. Teddy Roosevelt also wrote one about the wendigo. Scary stories were an excellent beginning for kids to look at ghost stories from literature that was nearly a century old. I went to the Hollywood wax museum around 1993. I remember there being exhibits for Elvira, Norman Bates from psycho, the crew of the original star trek enterprise, Clint Eastwood, Tom selleck from magnum P.I., red Skelton, laurel and hardy, snd Marilyn Monroe.

1420	Article	pikachulover	I kinda regret I never went to the Movieland Wax Museum. In school I remember stories about Bloody Mary and the Chupacabra. When I was told about what she really was it was way scary. The kids at school used to say they would see the Chupacabra at the train tracks by the local McDonalds.

1421	Article	Hoju Koolander	@pikachulover That's crazy. All those trips to the Halloween Haunt, I thought for sure you would have had some sort of annual pass to Movieland Wax Museum. Chupacapra by the train tracks sounds like a great legend. Were there any goats there for him to snack on or just McNuggets? @NLogan I only know the Marvel comics version of Wendigo who fought the Hulk (and Wolverine in his first appearance), I'll have to check out the original version. My favorite was always "The Ghost with the Bloody Fingers". Nice list of wax memories, I remember being impressed that Michael Jackson had a whole room devoted to himself with a figure in his "Bad" outfit and they played his music videos from that album on a loop.

1427	Article	pikachulover	I have not been to many tourist-y places. I've never been to Pinks either. About the Chupacabra the kids claimed they saw goat carcasses by the McDonalds and by the train tracks by out junior high.	Scary Stories from the Schoolyard	Oct 14, 2014
1429	Article	NLogan	@Hoju here are some of my Wendigo comics. <img width="300" height="300" src="/images/postImages/141326318020141013_212009.jpg">	Scary Stories from the Schoolyard	Oct 14, 2014
1426	Article	NLogan	I have copies of hulk 162, 180, 181, and 182. I like the Wendigo. I think it comes from an Algonquin legend. The kids version is in book 1 of scary stories. An interesting take on the legend. The Roosevelt version shares more similarities with the marvel version as victims are fed on. Marvel is reasonably close to the original legends in that anyone who commits cannibalism in the north woods becomes a wendigo.	Scary Stories from the Schoolyard	Oct 13, 2014
