Comedian Tom Mabe came up with a great idea for a prank: Get a hexacopter drone, hang a Grim Reaper decoration under it using a generous amount of fishing line and then send it after people in a park! You can see the hilarious results yourself thanks to his MabeInAmerica channel: He also did another …

Ghost Busted II
Given all the little tricks bargain bin labels do when they try to convince people they are buying anything but cover songs, I have always been amazed none of them ever tried licensing something from Filmation for a Halloween compilation. That way they could promote not having a cover and having the original “theme from …

Haunted Attraction Walkthroughs IV
The years have not been kind to this particular series of postings. So many old installments had to have their coding fixed and numerous videos had to be replaced. It got to the point where several videos I had wanted to share with you this year had to be sacrificed in order to fill in …

Mad Science Gone Wrong
The creation of a video segment to use during part of a haunted house is nothing new. But what sets the subject of today’s article apart from the rest is its rather unique take on the matter. Rather than do a dead serious video, the people behind Shriners Haunted Mansion decided to go the intentionally …

Questionable Horror Sounds Of The Night
Every Halloween lover has their own pick for the best spooky soundtrack to play on the big night. I used to hold Horror Sounds Of The Night in that regard. It used to creep me out so much back when I first got it and I couldn’t imagine anything scarier. But when I dug up …

How To Make Cheap Foam Organs
I noticed I keep discussing tutorial videos from Stiltbeast Studios in December, which might give the impression he only does spooky Christmas props. This is not the case at all and I want to focus on one of his more traditional tutorials. If you have access to chunks of foam and fake blood, then you …

The King Plays The Haunted Majora Cartridge
“Ben Drowned” is a creepypasta about a haunted Nintendo 64 cartridge with one interesting detail which set it apart from the others. The author created a video of him “playing” the haunted cartridge in order to make he story seem more realistic. Since the game used to create it was Majora’s Mask, it wasn’t long …

Have a Spooky St. Patrick’s Day!
Since we tend to focus on American works inspired by Irish traditions in our annual celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, it is a welcome change to pace to actually share something from the Emerald Isle with you. It’s an Irish short film called Midnight Dance and it’s the creation of John McCloskey of Raw Nerve …

Thriller Parodies
Parodies are inevitable when you have a music video for a song as popular as Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” Trying to list them all would take too long, so let’s narrow it down to two. The first is the famous “Indian Thriller”: Said video is actually a musical number from the movie Donga, which you can …

Solstice Spirits
It’s no secret I am a huge fan of Nox Arcana’s Christmas albums. So you can imagine my excitement when I heard they released a festive new EP called Ebonshire, Volume 2 this month. To celebrate, here’s a special music video for a selection from the Winter’s Majesty album taken directly from the official Nox …

Making A Krampus Costume
The last time I discussed constructing a Krampus costume, I focused more on assembling something from store bought costume parts rather than making one from scratch. I wanted something that would be a relatively easy way for even those without the best costume or prop-making skills to make a Krampus suit. But I also realize …

Gamera vs. Godzilla
Although the Godzilla fan in me wants to give top billing to the king of the monsters, Gamera is the birthday kaiju and therefore gets the spotlight today. Fan speculation over who would win in a fight between the two giant monsters has been going on for decades and shows no sign of slowing down. …

Numa Numa Godzilla
I remember when the internet was flooded with comedy videos of people dancing to the “Numa Numa” song. It turns out its actual name is “Dragostea din tei” (which means “Love from the lindens” in English). It’s from a Moldovan group called O-Zone and you can read more about its history here. In honor of …

Haunted Attraction Walkthroughs III
Another year, another collection of videos of people visiting haunted attractions. There’s quite the selection this year: professional haunted attractions, home haunts and yard haunts. Although many of the videos are from 2012-2013, I made sure to include some older material. There’s even one from 1995! But let’s cut down on the hype and get …
