Happy Halloween with Beavis and Butthead

A classic and one of my favorite shows. It still makes me laugh! Here’s the infamous Halloween Bungholo episode of MTV’s Beavis and Butthead

Vampires, Werewolfs and Zombies Oh My!

USA Today has two articles featured the supernatural beings.

• The first, if you ever find yourself turned into a Vampire, Werewolf or Zombies these books might come in handy

• And this sounds exciting – Steven King is on board for a series of comics about the evolution of vampires due out in March 2010!

Random Post: Tweets Summary

Either I was being lazy or didn’t think most things this week warranted an entire post, but now I’m putting all the things that perhaps didn’t deserve a post into one big one. Hopefully the sum will equal post worthliness. Anyway, here it goes…my twitter week in review:

• Have you seen Dean Haspiel’s drawings of HBO’s Bored to Death. I think I like the series better as a comic book, than a TV show.

• Also Neil’s A-Z of Awesomeness creates daily “Hashtag Funnies” – a daily comic based on what topics are treading that day.

• People in San Francisco, Chicago, NYC and Miami are invited to screenings of The Men Who Stare at Goats

• The Avatar Official Trailer is up

• Scrubs is back Dec 1 if anyone still cares about that show.

• Did you know a lego reality show is in the works!

• And finally, I want these for Xmas!

DVDs out today (Oct. 28)

Docs galore!

• The Achievers: The Story of Lebowski Fans
• You Weren’t There: A History of Chicago Punk (1977-84)
• Food Matters – Per the title, what we eat matters. Recommended to me.
• Chanel Chanel – on who else but Coco Chanel
• And finally: Monty Python Almost the Truth
