Evil waltz never fails. See:
The Stranglers - "Waltzinblack"

Also love Mick Harvey's "Out Of Time Man" for a non-Halloween song Halloween playlist.

October VHS Horror - Day 30

More than any other VHS cover in the horror aisle, this one always intrigued me the most. Why is Balbricker from Porky's recreating American Gothic with screaming heads underneath?

The question is more interesting than the movie, but still one HELL of a cover!

When everyone's awake, Freddy tidies up the boiler room. Maybe knits a cute glove cozy. Applies a homemade yogurt-based facial.

I missed two days, but here's the full rundown of some of the VHS horror covers that stuck out most to me on the Blockbuster aisles as a kid. What will #1 be tomorrow? The answer may shock you.

What were your most memorable ones?

Derek Lawler @rowdybowden.bsky.social · Oct 1

Every day in October on the old site, I'd post a pic of VHS cover art from the video store horror aisle that stuck with me as a kid. So let's continue the tradition here.

Day 1 is for the C.H.U.D. in all of us.

Remember when I recently said I love David Byrne more with each passing day? Yeah. Still true.

The ability to vote Yes or No on judges should not just be local. Extend that to the Supreme Court, cowards.
