FOF #1671 – The Worst Halloween Movies Ever

Oct 4, 2012 · 31761 views

Holiday themed movies are hard to pull off, especially when it comes to Halloween. You want to appeal to the kids, yet at the same time not come across as an idiot when addressing the dark themes of costumes, ghosts, and begging strangers for candy.

Today we’re looking at the worst Halloween themed films ever made, Paul Lynde’s Halloween TV special and classic films that feature Halloween as a theme.

Joining us is the ghoulish gal from San Francisco Peaches Christ, who has been busy holding a movie festival for the best independent horror films with her gal pal Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.

Big Bird lost the debate, and wasn't even allowed to speak.

Join us for this and all the ghoulish news–

During the first Presidential Debate Mitt Romney told the organizers of the debate, PBS, that if he were elected president he’d cut their funding.

Details of Britney Spears cell phone and internet usage have been leaked revealing that the pop star is heavily monitored for her own protection.

    Love it! My encylopedic knowledge of all things Horror (along with all my books about horror and exploitation) made this p-cast wonderful for me! Thanks to all of ya for doing your homework. Happy to announce that I have seen all of the films / tv specials mentioned (and TONS more). One thing I would challenge your listeners to do (if you are looking for movies this Halloween and wanna retro feel), You Tube carries TONS of “Movie Of The Week (MOTW)” from the late sixties/early 70′s, including Karen Black in ‘Trilogy of Terror’, ‘The House on Greenapple Road,’ ‘Devil Dog and the Hounds of Hell,’ ‘Devil’s Daughter (shelley winters!), ‘CrowHaven Farm’ (one of my faves) ‘Satan’s School for Girls’ the original! — i could go on and on!

    Hocus Pocus was MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER!!!!!! I would watch it over and over when I was a kid and I had a crush on the guy in the movie. So glad you brought it up. I’ll probably watch it before Halloween.

  3. As always, I had a BLAST being on the show and I only hope this podcast helps bolster the struggling Felching Straw industry.

    50 Shades of Halloween sounds like it will be fun ^_^ Looking forward to it.

  5. awh man I loved Hocus Pocus as a kid. Watched it so many times. I haven’t seen it in a long time, and I know it’s a awful movie, but I think I could still enjoy watching it now because of the nostalgia factor. I had a lot of good childhood memories of watching it.

    unfortunately for me I haven’t done anything to celebrate Halloween in many years since I have no one to celebrate it with, and celebrating Halloween alone is just boring and lame.

    Does the Peaches Christ mask come with a microchip or a piece of Stonehenge imbedded in it? http://store.peacheschrist.com/products/105-peaches-costume-mask.aspx

    Have added Trick R’ Treat to my queue, cheers Peaches! Not sure about Trick OR Treat, I’ve watched quite a few bad movies lately, more even than I usually do!

    Attempting my third Halloween in New Zealand. It’s still kind of a new thing here; a lot of people are suspicious of its “American”ness, and a lot of kids don’t bother dressing up before going door to door, which DOES make it just begging for candy, sorry kids. :P
