#VundaHalloweenAthon Day 21: "Fear the Floof"

By



Welcome to Day 21 of our #VundaHalloweenAthon 

The 21st theme of the month is "Fear the Floof." Today is a day for all manner of creepy crawlies and terrifying animals and creatures--especially those of the mammalian persuasion. Werewolves are definitely a go-to but by all means be creative! 

It might be an oldie you just never got around to seeing or something from a fresh young filmmaker who you haven't given a chance yet. The sky is the limit and bonus Pumpkin Points if you watch more than one movie a day on theme!

Here are a few recommendations from the team, taken from our own watchlists for today...

Group Pick: Critters (1986) directed by Stephen Herek is available on HBO Max. It may have started as a Gremlins rip off but it has actually spawned more sequels than Gremlins, so that must mean quality right???

D-Rock:
-Curse of the Queerwolf (1988) directed by Mark Pirro - 1h 30m - Tubi
-Birdemic: Shock and Terror (2010) directed by James Nguyen - 1h 30m - Tubi
-Ginger Snaps (2000) directed by John Fawcett - 1h 45m (2h 30m w/ Joe Bob Briggs commentary) - Shudder, Tubi
-Ghoulies (1985) directed by Luca Bercovici - 1h 20m - HBO Max



Stephen & Dani:
-An American Werewolf in London (1981) directed by John Landis - 1h 37m - Peacock
-Cursed (2004) directed by Wes Craven - 1h 37m - HBO Max
-Teen Wolf (1985) directed by Rod Daniel - 1h 32m - Free on Youtube baby!
-The Wolfman (2010) directed by Joe Johnston - 2h 5m - Peacock

Josh also has tons of great horror shorts we might be recommending later in the month.

COMICBOOK REVIEW: Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special

By

Time for a comicbook review of an unusual comic for me. Every once in a while at the comic shop, I may feel particularly random. Something odd may call to me from the shelves. This comic is one such oddity. Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special jam-packed with two epic Garfield's Pet Force stories. What is Garfield's Pet Force? I had no idea. I'm familiar with the concept of Oddie and Garfield and watched the cartoon a few times as a kid. I wouldn't consider myself a Garfield fan in the slightest. This comic may have changed my mind on the lasagna loving cat, though. Garfield's Petforce is Garfield as a superhero named Garzooka. Garzooka leads the Pet Force which is made up of his cartoon friends who have their own superpowers and dorky names. The stories are written by Scott Nickel. The first one is called "Cat-astrophe in the Cosmos" with pencils by Gary Barker and George Lane the third, inks were done by Mark and Stephanie Heike. The story s...

Week 4

-Can we officially shut the fuck up about Jake Locker now? I don't care if he was playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, 4-20 for 71 yards, a TD, and 2 INTs is unacceptable. If you take away a 45 yard TD strike to Jermaine Kearse, he was 3-19 for 26 yards and 2 INTs. He's got lots of talent and I'm sure he's a perfectly decent kid but the idea that Locker is the ultimate prospect in this year's NFL Draft is inexplicable. His Heisman campaign is obviously deader than dead at this point and I see no reason that he won't be the next Tim Couch. -Here's a random one: Kansas is down 31-10 to Southern Miss...they score a touchdown with 5:17 left in the game...and go for two?! Uh...what? Who did the math on that one? What possible scenario are they planning for? Are they planning cut the deficit to 13 instead of 14 in hopes that, in the event that they have to settle for two field goals at some point, they can still tie the game (with the addition of another touch...

Count Down to the New Year By Syncing These Epic Movie Moments at Midnight

It's New Year's Eve! Which means it's time to celebrate the death of this foul year of our Lord. So here's a list of our favorite movies that sync up to ring in the new year with a big, epic moment and what time you should start watching them on New Year's Eve.  For the best results, we suggest starting the movie, pausing it, setting it to 0:00:00 and unpausing at the time suggested. We also suggest watching these movies on DVD or BluRay if possible because even the most insignificant streaming blips can throw off the timing completely. Adult Swim Yule Log 2: Branchin' Out - 11:00:00 If you want to kick off the new year with Nana vomiting all over Christmas dinner, oddly enough it happens EXACTLY one hour into the film so all you have to do is start the movie at exactly 11:00:00 Cabin in the Woods - 10:30:07 PM If you want to ring in the new year with the Old Gods rising again, hit play on Drew Goddard's modern classic Cabin in the Woods at 10:30:07 PM (10:3...
