Halloween Review: The Old Dark House
Yes, boys and ghouls, it’s time once again for the Bureau’s Halloween Reviews. This year’s hellish harvest takes picks from the early days of talking film to last summer, with the emphasis on scary houses and homes under attack.
Between Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein, many of the same people adapted J.B. Priestly’s bizarre (and, at present, out of print) 1927 novel Benighted into the archetypal horror/dark comedy. Rocky Horror, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Addams Family, Scooby-Doo and countless other productions have since echoed this oddball film.1
The Sounds of Halloween
It’s raining and gloomy where I am, and leaves already crunch underfoot. October has arrived, the time of year when normal people dress like monsters, kids take candy from strangers, gourds lie in wait on every doorstep, and the Bureau runs its annual Halloween Movie Reviews. Those will begin on the weekend1. Today, we’re ringing in the spooky season with the Top Thirteen Creepiest Halloween Songs. Get started on your Halloween Party CD today.
Boomwahahaha!

–With all due respect, this isn’t exactly rational.
Heroes Review: Villains– “The Second Coming”
They quote the poem by Y.B. Yeats, but I’m wondering if the title also suggests they’re pretending this is really the second season, after last year’s debacle.

Has anyone seen this twisted take on mad science? Should we see it?
