Merry Fishmas!

Another year, another fan-made music video of a holiday song by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society. This year’s selection is “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fishmen,” as filmed and uploaded by one haakor: That said, you shouldn’t watch it if you want to avoid any spoilers for The Shadow Over Innsmouth… Merry Christmas!

Homemade Godzilla Costumes

I’ve occasionally heard people theorize that part of the appeal Japanese monster movies have is the fact that costumes are used, with fans wishing on a subconscious level that they could be one in the cool costume crushing all those little buildings (despite the fact that doing so is much less glamorous than one would …

Hallowindows

Back when Strange Jason and I were gearing up for the first Halloween countdown, he showed me an amazing Halloween display video. In it, an elaborate spooky animation display was projected onto the front windows of a house. It was incredible and mere words couldn’t do it justice. Sadly, I lost the link in the …

Freddy Takes D.C.

…Follies, that is. For those unfamiliar with the program, D.C. Follies was one of two (the other being Sid & Marty Krofft’s Red Eye Express) shows made in the 80’s by the creators of H.R. Pufnstuf that teamed human actors with puppet versions of famous politicians and celebrities. D.C. Follies was arguably the most successful …

Pumpkin Carving with the Muppets

Since Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker have already gone ghost hunting, it would make perfect sense for their next Halloween-related experiment to focus on the grand tradition of carving Jack O’Lanterns. Thankfully, we can see it all thanks to the official themuppetlabs Youtube channel: Similarly, MuppetsStudio has a hilarious pumpkin carving video featuring the Swedish …

Haunted Attraction Walkthroughs

In the late 90’s, the only way to get a feel for what a haunted attraction was like was to either sort through photo galleries online or to read lengthy written descriptions with pictures. But as streaming video technology got better and the price of digital cameras went down as time went on, filmed tours …

A Haunted Buster Keaton

It’s a very busy time for us here at Gravedigger’s Local 16. In addition to gearing up for the annual Halloween countdown, we’ve also been devoting a lot of time behind-the-scenes to finding the perfect public domain film clips to use in an upcoming commercial for the site that’s scheduled to appear in an online …

Midnight Movie Madness

Once people figured out how to put video files onto CDs, it wasn’t long before companies tried to take advantage of this in order to supplant VHS as the format of choice. CD Video failed miserably and VCDs never really took off in the states. More specifically, several software companies decided that they wanted to …

The Aquabats, “Fashion Zombies”

Given all the music–based articles I’ve done for the site, it may surprise you to learn that I wasn’t always this way. For much of my early life, I was more of a passive listener of music. If it was on the radio or something my parents were listening to, then by golly, that’s what …

Thingu

It’s no secret that I love stop motion comedy videos that pay tribute to horror classics, so it should be no surprise that I was very interested when I heard there was a claymation parody of John Carpenter’s The Thing floating around online: In case you’re wondering, this was done in the style of the …

A Mythos Carol

Seeing as how I celebrated Christmas with a Youtube video featuring a Lovecraftian Christmas carol by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society last year, I thought it would be fun to do it again this year. This year’s selection is a fan-made music video made by GodfreyTemple,: which was apparently approved by the HPLHS: For more …

Godzilla and King Kong, Together Again

As it’s the Big G’s birthday, I thought it would be nice to pay tribute to one of his greatest battles. I was stuck on what to do, until I discovered that the Peruvian fast food chain Bembos decided to do a humorous ad reuniting the two (well, reasonable facsimiles of the two) that’s probably …

A Halloween Scarol

Remember Big Scream TV: The Boo Tube? Well, the company behind that series does other lines of video decor DVDs. One such example is Halloween Scarols, which combines Big Scream TV-style characters with Halloween-themed Christmas carol parodies. In fact, the songs were later released as a CD as well! As I’ve shared music videos from …

Psyched by the R/C Witch

You know that would really be cool at a haunted hayride? Rounding a corner and hearing a witch laughing from above (thanks to a speaker hidden in the trees), with a witch flying on her broomstick appearing in the sky. Sound impossible? It’s not, thanks to flying radio controlled planes designed to look like a …

Ghost Busted

Strange Jason once said there was a difference between doing a cover of a song and doing a version of a song. Although I used to think he was splitting hairs, I have since changed my mind. One musician doing their take on another’s song can both pay tribute to the original and create an …

Beetlejuice Reenactment

I first became aware of ArtieTSMITW thanks to a friend and I constantly joking about a YTMND featuring the infamous “The line must be drawn here!” line from Star Trek: First Contact. One day, said friend linked me to a reenactment of the scene by Artie. This was back when he had first started out, …
