Also, each character stars in its own horror movie trailer. My Thoughts: This is a video I borrowed out of my brother's collection. I few years back I got Jeff Dunham's Christmas special and enjoyed very much... but for some reason it is still the only release of his I have in my collection. But when I saw my brother had his Halloween special I had to watch it! I enjoyed this one quite a bit as well... but I think the Christmas one was just a little funnier. Definitely a fun watch though. My Rating:

Feigelson] (Story By), Butler Handcock (Story By) Rating: NR Length: 97 Min.

Hazelrigg Robert F. Lyons as Skeeter Norris Claude Earl Jones as Philby Lane Smith as Harless Hocker Tonya Crowe as Marylee Williams Larry Drake as Bubba Ritter Plot:When young Marylee Williams (Tonya Crowe) is found viciously mauled, all hell breaks loose in her small rural town. Officious Postmaster Otis P. Hazelrigg (Charles Durning) leads a gang of bigots in pursuit of the suspect; her mentally challenged friend Bubba Ritter (Larry Drake). Finding him hiding inside a scarecrow, they exact brutal mob "justice"...only to discover a tragic mistake! Now a strange apparition stalks the land seeking each of them out, as the legend of the Scarecrow begins. Extras:Audio Commentary Feature Trailers My Thoughts: This is only my second time watching this TV Movie. And I must say... I enjoyed it just as much this time as the first time I watched it. It has an interesting storyline that keeps your attention from beginning to the end. The first thing I did when I popped in the DVD is watch the original CBS promo trailer. And wow... did that bring back some memories... as I used to watch a lot of those CBS Saturday Night Movies. So to me while it is just a little thing... I really like having this extra on the disc. It was fun seeing all the familiar faces in this movie. I really enjoyed Larry Drake for what time he was in this one. And then there was Lane Smith who was Perry White on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. Anyway... as I said... I enjoyed this one very much. I definitely can see myself watching this one again. If you never seen this one I definitely recommend it. My Rating:

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Hallowe'en with the New Addams FamilyYear: 1977 Director: David Steinmetz Writer: George Tibbles (Writer), Charles Addams (Original Characters By) Rating: NR Length: 74 Min. Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: Mono Subtitles: None Stars:John Astin as Gomez Ted Cassidy as Lurch Jackie Coogan as Uncle Fester Carolyn Jones (1930) as Morticia Henry Darrow as Pancho Addams Jane Rose as Grandmama Addams Plot:Since the television show, Gomez and Morticia have had two more children, named Pugsley Junior and Wednesday Junior, and are look-a-likes of their older siblings. Pancho, Gomez's brother, stays with the family for Halloween while Gomez attends a lodge meeting in Tombstone, Arizona. Pancho tells the children the legend of Cousin Shy, a shy spirit who carves pumpkins and distributes gifts on Halloween. Extras:Scene Access My Thoughts: This is another old recording that I recently converted to DVD. It is a TV reunion movie from the '60s series The Addams Family. It brings back the entire cast of the series except for Marie Blake who played Grandmama. From what I read she was to ill at the time to do this movie. She passed away not long after this movie was made. Unfortunately I didn't care much for Jane Rose in the part. This film isn't really bad... but I definitely prefer the episodes over it. It was fun watching them celebrate Halloween. My Rating:

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: The Good Witch's CharmYear: 2012 Director: Craig Pryce Writer: G. Ross Parker (Writer) Rating: TV-G Length: 83 Min. Video: Widescreen :1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo Subtitles: None Stars:Catherine Bell as Cassie Chris Potter as Jake Catherine Disher as Martha Hannah Endicott-Douglas as Lori Matthew Knight as Brandon Peter MacNeill as George Plot:Good Witch Cassie Nightingale (Catherine Bell) is back to her bewitching ways, but this time she’s also juggling a newborn daughter and her job as town Mayor. With such a busy schedule she and her husband, town sheriff Jake Russell (Chris Potter), aren’t getting much sleep. Hoping for a break, Cassie plans a much needed vacation with her new family. But things go awry when a crime wave sweeps through town and an investigative reporter (Geordie Johnson) tries to ruin Cassie’s image after a video of her magically disappearing turns up on the internet. To make matters worse, Cassie’s estranged foster mother (Janet-Laine Green) appears in town and Cassie’s stepdaughter (Hannah Endicott-Douglas) is suddenly accused of the recent robberies. Supported by her loyal family and friends, Cassie must rely on her signature charm to put a stop to the rumors before they completely destroy the town, and a Good Witch’s reputation! Extras:Scene Access My Thoughts: This is the fifth film in the Good Witch series. They come out with another film right around every Halloween, this is this year's release. I enjoyed this installment as well. Just like the rest of the Good Witch movies... It is a great film for the entire family. And it is another one I burned to DVD as it obviously isn't available on DVD yet. unfortunately the only one available (at least in region 1) is the first movie in the series... though I would love to replace the other 4 if ever released.

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Salem's LotYear: 2004 Director: Mikael Salomon Writer: Stephen King (1947) (Original Material By), Peter Filardi (Screenwriter) Rating: NR Length: 181 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.78:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1 Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Stars:Rob Lowe as Ben Mears Andre Braugher as Matt Burke Donald Sutherland as Richard Straker Samantha Mathis as Susan Norton Robert Mammone as Dr. James Cody Dan Byrd [Daniel Byrd] as Mark Petrie Plot:Welcome to Jerusalem's Lot - Salem's Lot, as locals call it. Population: 1319. And growing eerier by the moment. Because an ominous outsider has moved into the sleepy New England town's foreboding Marsten House and brought with him an unspeakable horror. This powerful new adaptation of Stephen King's terrifying bestseller stars Rob Lowe as a writer who returns to his hometown to confront his haunted past... and who soon leads the fight against a heart-stopping force of evil. Andre Braugher, Donald Sutherland, Samantha Mathis, Rutger Hauer and James Cromwell co-star, and help supply proof that when it comes to thrills, chills and unearthly dread you can't keep the undead down. Walk the streets of Salem's Lot... if you dare. Extras:Scene Access Closed Captioned My Thoughts: When I found out my brother never seen this version of Salem's Lot.... I decided to pop it in and watch it with him. While I prefer the original miniseries.. this one is still good as well. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I don't normally care much for Rob Lowe... but he is pretty good in this one. I also always enjoyed the work of Donald Sutherland.... so was good seeing him play Straker... the care keeper of Barlow (the vampire). While it isn't as good as the original... I would definitely recommend giving it a chance. Worth the time to watch it. My Rating:

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Dear DraculaYear: 2012 Director: Chad Van De Keere Writer: Brad Birch (Writer) Length: 43 Min. Stars:Ray Liotta as Count Dracula Emilio Estevez as Mirrow Ariel Winter as Emma Nathan Gamble as Sam Marion Ross as Grandma Plot:Dear Dracula is about Sam, who decides to write to Dracula for Halloween because he can't wait until Christmas to write to Santa. Much to his surprise, Dracula personally responds showing up at Sam's doorstep (yikes!) and turning his life upside down. My Thoughts: I just watched this short Cartoon Network animated movie. I wasn't expecting much of anything going into it... but I found I actually enjoyed it. I got a kick out of when Sam had Dracula watch some horror movies with him and at the end of the movies Dracula went on a rant on how vampires don't sparkle in the sunlight! They burn and turn to ash! As you can see by the cast list this one has some pretty big names in it. Over-all I have seen better... but this is a cute little animated movie. My Rating:
