PTA shut down production and ballooned the budget on this movie so he could cast Benicio del Toro, and the very first shot of him instantly proves it was worth it

FYI: 35 years ago, the first Simpsons Halloween Special changed everything.

Just about ready for Halloween! We put together a few fun things for folks of all ages this year. We will also have a table with bags and non perishable foods for anyone who wants or needs them.

Honestly, for Toronto and Jays fans that is an unforgettable, indelible, brutal way to lose. That is pure heartbreak, pure what-if, forever. And that’s part of what made that one of the best baseball games anyone will ever see.

It's almost time for the big giveaway at 9! Got my mask ready and am sure to be a winner! 🎃💀🧙‍♀️ #SilverShamrock ☘️ #HappyHalloween www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tRX...

These bastards from Hell are called "Molasses Kisses," but we always just called them Witch Candies. They look fun but taste like sadness. I don't know if they exist outside of Canada, but y'all can have any that end up in my bag.

Night #20: Death Spa (1988). Ever since I peeped this killer trailer (youtu.be/yQEVPYIBx2c?...) at the start of the Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986) VHS which my buddy and I rented in the mid-90s, I had to see this film and it delivered magnificently.
