Trilogy of Terror
Trilogy of Terror is a 1975 made for TV movie starring Karen Black in three different story segments. In the middle segment, she plays two roles. While Trilogy of Terror was a hit and still is highly rated, it generated mixed reviews at the time and typecast Black forever as a scream queen. (Thanks, WTM!)
Improving, Not Ruining, "Ghostbusters"
Dustin Ballard of There I Ruined It brings us his Ghostbusters Super Mashup Party for a quick giggle. You have the unmistakable beat from Ray parker Jr's "Ghostbusters" with vocal clips from a variety of other songs. The secret is in the clip selection. Many of them rhyme nicely, which is funny enough, but you also get different clips quoting the movie together, and a tribute to the best Halloween trick-or-treat candy you can receive. Even the way Ballard labeled the clips is designed to bring out the funny.
Betty Boop's Halloween Party
Back in 1933, Betty Boop decided to throw a Halloween party. Either everyone wore animal costumes, or they were really animals. Boop, of course, wore a skimpy dress. At least most of the time.

Badass Robot
Unitree Robotics shows off its new H2-X Kung Fu Legend Guardian robot by first terrifying us, then pulling back to make him seem useful and heroic. This robot can beat your car up while showing off its martial arts moves. It would probably make short work of hauling you in for questioning, and might break your bones while doing it. But oh, it's also useful for protection from bad guys, and its strength and quick reflexes could work for saving lives. But who decides whether it will be used for nefarious or humanitarian purposes? The H2-X Kung Fu Legend Guardian is not yet available, and might never be sold to the public. The video description has a CYA line: "Please use the robot safely and in a friendly manner." Right. All that said, I'd love to see the outtakes from this production. (via Born in Space)
Parrot Must Have His favorite TV Show
Cruz the African Grey really, really likes to watch Sesame Street. Guess who his favorite character is.
Broken Peach Does "Thriller"
We check in with the Spanish band Broken Peach at least once a year for their new Halloween video, and this year they bring us a hard rock version of Michael Jackson's "Thriller." They also incorporate parts of "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell into the song, and a small taste of a surprise song at the end.
This song is so Halloweeny that they don't need their full body skeleton costumes, and instead they dress like Jackson in the original 1984 video. Broken Peach's signature glitchy twitchy dance moves are still part of the act.
