Pop Daddy's Halloween Countdown Day 15: Witches Night Out

Day 15(originally posted on September 15, 2020)

Last week I talked about "The Halloween that almost wasn't" I said that it made a great double feature with another Halloween special: Witch's Night Out 


When I was a kid,  the Disney Channel would always show a double feature of The Halloween that Almost Wasn't (which is where I got the idea)when some kids and their babysitter run afoul of a REAL witch, things get a bit crazy! 


This special is great,  it's cool, colorful, has a neat story, if THTAW didn't grab the kids attention, this one will. I've attached the full specia in the link belowl, check it out!


Also, check out this weird video cover from a rerelease.

Pop Daddy's Halloween Countdown Day 53

Day 53: A little bit back, I reviewed my favorite Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode. This Sunday marks 30(32 this month, Oct, 2022) years since the first one titled "The Simpsons Halloween Special" (and the only one to take place in a treehouse!) So, I thought I'd share with you my 10 favorite segments in chronological order.  The Raven (The Simpsons Halloween Special) I remember missing most of the episode and this being the only segment I saw. James Earl Jones narrates a telling of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" with Homer. This one doesn't bring the laughs, it gets spooky and this was actually the first time I had heard The Raven.  The Monkey's Paw (Treehouse of Horror II) Like with the Raven, this was my first hearing of this tale, as the Simpsons take a vacation in the middle east, they bring home a Monkey's Paw, but each wish has dire consequences...(I use "the turkey's dry!" When I need t...

Day 35 (Posted October 5th, 2020): It's hard to believe that this month marks the 30th anniversary of The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror anthology episodes. (on 10/25, maybe I'll pick my 3 favorite independent segments) which means 3 years from now, there will be over 100 segments(2022: One year to go!). There are many good ones, but in my opinion, the best collection in my opinion is Treehouse of Horror V.  .      Still known as the Simpsons Halloween special  After an Outer Limits-esque intro, the first segment is called "The Shinning" it revolves around the Simpson family agreeing to watch Mr. Burns' lodge for the winter. After Burns cuts the cable and takes the beer, which causes Homer to slowly descend into madness. While it turns out Bart has psychic skills. Sound familiar? It's a direct spoof of The Shining and this one brings the laughs. Segment two: "Time and Punishment" begins with Homer breaking the toaste...

Pop Daddy's Halloween Countdown Day 27

Day 27(Posted on September 27, 2020): I told you that I had a little Halloween food shopping spree the other day, so here's today's food, Pumpkin Spice Twinkies.  So, these look like regular Twinkies, but once you take a bite, if you're not expecting it, that pumpkin spice taste hits you in the face. Now, when you unwrap these, you can smell the pumpkin spice. So, if you were hoping to trick a friend with these, unless they have a bad sense of smell, you're not tricking anyone. The sponge cake has the same consistency, the cream is a little fluffier(I can't remember how long it's been since I've had a Twinkie, so it might have always been this fluffy), but both the cake and the cream are loaded with pumpkin spice.  So, if you don't like Twinkies and/or don't like pumpkin spice, give these a pass, because they are loaded. But if you like both, these are a MUST BUY.
