Happy Halloween! With trick-or-treating set to begin this evening, we expect quite a few pint-sized Jedi, Rebel soldiers and Ewoks will be storming the neighborhood. That's all well and good, but they had better keep an eye for this guy, who will apparently be taking to the sidewalk in this awesomely huge Star Wars AT-ST costume. Read More...

Interview: 'Regular Show' Creator J.G. Quintel Talks Halloween!
Posted 10/31/12 3:22 pm EST by Charles Webb in Animation, Cartoon Network, Halloween, Interviews, TV
Earlier this month, animator J.G. Quintel's Emmy-winning The Regular Show returned for a fourth season on Cartoon Network. Among the new batch of episodes featuring slacker park employees Mordecai and Rigby, we got a brand-new Halloween episode with "Terror Tales of the Park Part II," a sequel to last year's half hour of horror.
Recently, I spoke to Quintel about the spookiest day of the year and romance, along with his thoughts on the upcoming release of the next DVD release Regular Show: The Best DVD in the World *At this Moment in Time next Tuesday, and his hopes for a full season release.

MTV Geek's Frightful Faves: 'Return Of The Living Dead' (1985) - It's Party Time
Posted 10/30/12 5:58 pm EST by Charles Webb in Halloween, Horror, Movies
MTV Geek LOVES Halloween -- so we've decided to share our fave frightful movies, TV shows, comics, and books with you all month long!
I like to think of Return of the Living Dead as The Matrix of zombie movies. In the way that the Wachowskis' film was a rule-breaking love letter to Hong Kong action and high concept sci-fi, Dan O'Bannon's 1985 film did right by the zombie pics of the past while also carving out its own distinctive niche as a bloody, funny, and deeply nihilistic horror comedy. Also, like The Matrix, RotLD was followed by subsequently weaker entries which seemed to miss the whole point, but we'll talk about the zombie Romeo and Juliet in a bit.
MTV Geek's Frightful Faves: 'Tales From the Crypt' 5.01: 'Death of Some Salesman' (1993)

MTV Geek LOVES Halloween -- so we've decided to share our fave frightful movies, TV shows, comics, and books with you all month long!
Show me you love me!
- Winona Brackett (Tim Curry, "Death of Some Salesman")
Tim Curry out-Klumps Eddie Murphy. Ed Begley Jr. sells the promise of a good death door to door. The "o" face you can't unsee.
This Tales From the Crypt episode directed by series producer Gikber Adler isn't the best episode of that show or even really my favorite. But with its healthy helping of dress up and darkly funny prankersterism, it feels just right for the Halloween season.
This Terrifying Zombie Sculpture Is Made Out Of Pumpkins!

Check out an exclusive behind-the-scenes documentary revealing the making-of Haven's special Halloween-themed episode, which will air on Friday, October 26 at 10/9c on Syfy. #EscapeToHaven

How will they break the story? Who will get to be a cowboy? Will the episode make it to air? (Spoilers: yes).
MTV Geek's Frightful Faves: 'Friday the 13th Part 2' aka 'Intro To Child Psychology'
Posted 10/25/12 5:59 pm EST by Eddie Wright in Halloween, Horror, Movies
MTV Geek LOVES Halloween -- so we've decided to share our fave frightful movies, TV shows, comics, and books with you all month long! ...and as you're anxiously awaiting the arrival of Oct. 31st, tune in to MTV's Halloween Movie Marathon--hosted by the casts of "Teen Wolf and "Awkward"--this Friday to Sunday!
Why do I love "Friday the 13th Part 2"? Is it because this is the first official appearance of pop culture kill-con Jason Voorhees (witha bag on his head!)? Is it the exploding title? Is it the effortless charm of Camp Crystal Lake/Blood attendees? Is it the bonzo-bananas ending? Is it Jason's Sloth face? Is it the nonsensical opening scene? Is it the attempt to add a dash o' smarts to an otherwise lackluster blood-fest?
Is it all of the above? Read More...
