Anyway, it’s October again and that means it’s my favorite time of year:  Halloween!  Last year I put up 3 of my Halloween mix tapes, which have been down for sometime.  Well I thought that it’d be the perfect time to put them back up.  Check out my previous posts below that detail the track listings and descriptions of each volume, and read on to download them for yourself.

Download Volume 3 Here!

Sadly, I didn’t make a new edition this year due to lack of time.  I was contemplating on making a DVD filled with horror trailers that would be played in the background at a Halloween party, but my PC crashed.  None the less, have fun with the three CD’s I’ve made which are filled with some great rock music and fun horror samples.  Also who knows, maybe I’ll start posting here full time again?  Happy Halloween!

The songs on this mix range from psychobilly, horror punk, surf rock, and hard rock.  I wanted to get a wide variety of musical genres, but still have an overall Halloween-ish theme for the album.  In addition to songs about the Halloween and other spooky things, I added skits between each track.  The content of each skit is to reflect the upcoming song that follows it.  They consist of samples from various Halloween soundtracks that were on vinyl from the 1960’s and 1970’s.  So to name this mix I had to come up with something cheesy, yet festive enough to match the album’s vibe.  So I named this little abomination: A Spooky, Rockin’, Surfin’, Halloween Extravaganza!  Can’t get much more campy than that, and I think it fits the mood remarkably well.  Here is the tracklist for volume 1 (keep in mind this idea was still in its infancy when I made volume 1, so this album isn’t edited quite as well as volumes 2 and 3):

1.  Gein and the Graverobbers – Season of the Dead
2. Astrovamps – Everyday Is Halloween (with Alfred Hitchcock intro)
3. Evil Laugh
4. Rob Zombie – Halloween (She Gets So Mean) with The Ghastly Ones
5. Premature Burial
6. Ghoultown – Return of the Living Dead
7. Witch Laugh
8. Fletch Cadillac – Boogeyman Said
9. The Swamp Creature
10. The Dead Elvi – The Creature Stole My Surfboard
11. Falling Scream
12. Marilyn Manson – This is Halloween
13. Scary Stories To Tell In the Dark
14. Vampire Beach Babes – Gothmobile
15. The Moon Is a Circle of Ghosts
16. Swingin’ Neckbreakers – No Costume, No Candy
17. The Phantom of the Cathedral
18. The Bomboras – A Fistful of Terror
19. Banging Shutter
20. Dead Kennedy’s – Halloween
21. This Recording
22. The Dead Elvi – 21st Century Frankenstein
23. Frankenstein’s Laboratory

This commercial made me crack up, so I thought I’d share.

This sucker powered on after the very first try and I haven’t had any problems whatsoever.  Although, I will say that that the CPU fan I bought is much louder than I would have liked.  I think I might replace it one of these days. 

Also, I was debating as to whether or not I wanted to buy Vista x64, but I quickly shot that idea down after I decided that I didn’t want to deal with that nightmare.  XP x64 has been good to me thus far, aside from a few programs not being supported (which I found alternatives for anyway).  All of this stuff cost me around $1300 from Tiger Direct which is not too shabby.  Did I mention that the power supply’s LED light changes color?  Dumb, yet amazing.

I’ll tell you what, there’s nothing quite like stepping outside and finding out that a box of delicious beer has arrived at your door step.  Those good folks over at Flying Dog Brewery sent me a few beers for review, and the first one I chose is the Kerberos Tripel.  The reason I chose to review Kerberos first is that I’ve only tried one other Tripel from an American micro brewery (that being Victory’s Golden Monkey).  Flying Dog is one of those micro breweries that truly know how to reach out to its customers, not to mention that they have great beer.  I reviewed their K-9 Cruiser Winter Ale a few months back, and was very pleased with the results. 

Kerberos pours with a slightly foamy head and it possesses a hazy, dark orange appearance.  After taking a whiff, I immediately noticed a citrus smell coupled with a hint of alcohol.  The first sip went down smooth, as I got the full flavor of what seemed like a combination of yeast, more citrus, and wheat somewhere in there.  This all goes down surprisingly well for a Tripel, as the second sip displayed more of the same. 

Taste: Very Good

Smell: Average

Drinkability: Above Average

Final Words:

I really enjoyed this one.  It had just about all of the makings of a great Belgian beer, but it was brewed right here in the States.  It’s very easy to drink, even with an ABV of 8.5%, so how can you go wrong?  Flying Dog scores again with another solid beer, and I suggest that you give this one a try if you’re in the mood for a Belgian (that’s not really a Belgian).  I find this one to be better than Golden Monkey, and I even went as far as giving it my patented hobo-hitchhiker thumbs up.  Where else can you get a beer that has a 3-headed monster and a Hunter S. Thompson quote on it?

Also, keep a look out sometime this week for another beer review.  The good folks at Flying Dog Brewery sent me a few samples that I’m dying to try.

THE LEGENDARY ‘FACES OF DEATH’ TO BE RELEASED ON OCTOBER 7^TH, 2008 –

ORIGINAL SHOCKUMENTARY IS BACK WITH A 30^TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION BLU-RAY DISC AND DVD

Called “the ultimate taboo tape” by Entertainment weekly, Faces of Death is the most controversial, critically reviled and fastest selling documentary in home video history.  Parents tried to stop it. Video stores had to hide it. Yet across the nation, millions found ways to secretly watch it…if they dared. Renowned pathologist Dr. Frances B. Gröss is your guide to the most bizarre and grisly death scenes ever recorded, from executions, assassinations and mass murder to suicide, disease and disasters. Three decades later, is it hardcore gross-out, elaborate hoax or still the ultimate forbidden movie?  One thing is certain – you will never forget the original Faces of Death!

October 7^th marks the re-launch of the Gorgon Video label and the release of Faces of Death on DVD and Blu-Ray.  Boasting a new HD transfer from extremely rare vault materials, this is Faces of Death like it has never been seen before.  This release includes never-before-seen features that will lift the veil on the most discussed and debated documentary in history and is presented in 5.1 Audio/2.0 Stereo.  Bonus features include a feature-length documentary with director Conan Le Cilaire, who has never publicly discussed Faces of Death, “Choice Cuts with editor Glenn Gurner” featurette, “The Death Makers with Special Make-Up FX Creators Allan A. Apone and Douglas J. White” featurette, and Faces of Death trailers, outtakes, and deleted scenes.

Prepare for some controversy from a 30 year old film here in 2008!
