Halloween
« on: September 10, 2019, 04:53:16 AM »
With the evening of ghosties and goblins approaching, thought a thread on Halloween might be fun.
To start off, here is Vincent Price reading Graveyard Tales.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Agree. Much better than Pee Wee Herman. But, if you were sitting in a dark movie theater, who would be scarier to sit next to, Pee Wee or Vince?  :hide:

Why has no one released a compilation of Florida Halloween stories?

Oh well, Vincent has lots of stuff.

Creepypasta time!

One of my Youtube acquaintances (we've spoken a few times) has an interesting story to tell about a haunted office building, back when he was a security guard. All together the videos take about an hour.
