Merry Christmassacre (and Happy Horrordays)!
I originally wasn’t sure what I should call this post. Gravedigger’s Local 16 strives to be all-inclusive and not promote one holiday over another (save for Halloween), but I already used the title “Happy Horrordays” last year and didn’t want to repeat myself. So I decided to do three separate posts devoted to the holidays …

A Horrorday Gift
Remember how I mentioned Redbox last month? For those not in the know, Redbox is a video rental service where you can rent (and even buy) DVDs from a kiosk located at your local supermarket, convenience store, or even certain fast food establishments. What makes Redbox so interesting is that they regularly give out free …

A Study In Emerald
Since it’s December, the traditional Christmas colors of red and green are everywhere. And wouldn’t you know it, I figured out a way to capitalize on that without resorting to a “colors of blood and gore” joke! Fans of the great detective will undoubtedly be familiar with A Study in Scarlet. But what they might …

How It Should Have Ended
I first discovered “How It Should Have Ended” while searching Youtube for a funny video to post on the Facebook page of a friend who was a Superman fan. So, straight from their official Youtube page, here’s how the HISHE crew thinks The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake and The Blair Witch Project should have ended:

Happy Fangsgiving!
Want to go trick-or-treating in November like the kids in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn? Although you’re bound to only get strange looks and bewilderment, I thought I’d help out by pointing you in the direction of some free printable vampire masks. Michael Grater’s Cut and Make Monster Masks in Full Color brings us a …

News ‘n Stuff
Normally, I stick to the “four posts per month” format I developed after GdL returned from its unintended hiatus. But, seeing as how Strange Jason is having a little trouble, I figured I’d change my rules and do an extra post. Come to think of it, Strange Jason and I both doing five posts a …

El Día de los Muertos
El Día de los Muertos, also known as the Day of the Dead, is often referred to as the Mexican version of Halloween. Although that’s a rather inaccurate description for the most part, there is an element of truth in it. You see, both holidays involved a belief that, on a certain day, the dead …

Halloween Scream Concert
Although I ended my contribution to the 2008 Halloween countdown with a cover of a Frank Zappa song, it hadn’t dawned on me how appropriate it was to do so until now. At the time, I just wanted to use it since I’m a Zappa fan and wanted a video that ended with someone saying …

Horror Trivia
Some prints of Tombs of the Blind Dead were given a new title card (Revenge of the Planet Ape) and opening narration in an attempt to pass the movie off as a Planet of the Apes-style science fiction film! Not unlike how Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster was initially written as a vehicle for Toho’s …

It Came From Wikipedia II
According to this article, Godzilla made a licensed appearance in an audio drama spin-off of the Idol Defense Force Hummingbird OVA series. Color me surprised: Dracula’s Daughter was created as a result of Universal getting the license to adapt Dracula’s Guest. As many of you all know, King Kong Lives was the sequel to the …

What’s a countdown without a count?
Count von Count, that is. I know these mildly NSFW videos are old news, but I immediately thought of the “censored Count” videos after chancing upon a Sesame Street segment parodying Mad Men (what’s next, a Breaking Bad parody?). According to uploader mrmagoo312, Lemon Demon (aka Neil Cicierega) was responsible for the audio while wattamack4 …

Maximum Carnage
The time was October 2002. Universal Studios Florida had decided to integrate their “Islands of Adventure” into their “Halloween Horror Nights” celebration. Not only that, but the event would be moved to the islands for several years. To play off this, the event’s theme for the year (“Islands of Fear”) was that each island would …

Stay Tuned! (and Oh Boy! A Bonus, Billy!)
Well, tomorrow is the big day. I imagine that many of you readers will be too busy to read any GdL posts made on Halloween, which is why I’m posting this notice now. I want to stress to you all that Gravedigger’s Local 16 will stay open (and active) after October 31st ends. We won’t …
