In what is surely to be the easiest post of all time, 13, for Friday the 13th.

Movie classic, day of bad luck.

14, for October 14th, on which date the singer/actor Usher was born, who was part of the cast for the 1998 horror/sci-fi film The Faculty.

I hadn’t honestly thought about this movie for years (most likely for good reason). It came out during the dark ages of teenie horror, when movie theaters gave up putting effort into films for a while to bank on DVD rentals and Wal Mart DVD purchases. This era of films seriously takes up at least a full rack in the KMart DVD section. You know, the crap like this, The House on Haunted Hill, and the Haunting.

What’s disturbing is that the Faculty had an all-star cast consisting of Elijah Wood, Josh Hartnett, Selma Hayek and others. I mean, this rarely translates to a good movie, but still. How do people get sucked into this crap?

This movie also featured one of the worst soundtracks of all-time, featuring the likes of the Offspring, Stabbing Westward, and our favorite church band Creed.

This just goes to show you. Being a horror fan isn’t easy.

15, or a song on the Marilyn Manson album The High End of Low, which features one of Vincent and I’s favorite songs, We’re From America.

Marilyn Manson is still the prominent horror-metal figure around, so even though he’s become one of the biggest fuckups around, he still rules. We got to see a drunken performance by him back in August, and he still has presence. Even if he’s a complete ass.

Enjoy:

16, or the number of fluid ounces in a pint of good ‘ole beer. Which reminds me of one of our favorite bands,  Korpiklaani, and their epic song/video for BEER BEER!

P.S., also good is VODKA VODKA … DRINKING’S GOOD FOR YOU!!!

17, or the number of tracks on Cradle of Filth’s 2003 album Damnation and a Day. Good album. Appropriate band for Halloween. Time for everyone to break out their Cradle shirts for the season.

Enjoy the video for Babylon A.D. on this lovely Wednesday:

18, for March 18th, 1966, when Alice in Chains’ founding member and guitarist Jerry Cantrell was born.

Alice in Chains might not be very Halloweeny, but I think some of their music is the most evil and dark sounding ever created. Have a little taste of Sludge Factory if you don’t believe me:

20 days until Halloween. For Halloween: H20. Despite having a horrifically stupid name (water != scary) , this movie totally didn’t stink up the joint. Jamie Lee Curtis was pretty good (and hot, imho), and when compared with the other nonsense that was coming out at the time (Scream 154) it holds up really well. Watch it again with someone you love.

If these bored little fuckers don’t melt your cranky heart for 5 minutes then you’re truly a lost cause.  21 Days until Halloween.  Go laugh at the misfortune of some kids you don’t know on 21 Halloween Costumes made by real moms. You may see an old photo of yourself.  (Thanks mom!)

24, for the $24.99 (the small ones are only $10) it will cost you to own one of these baddass animated horror portraits.

You’ve probably seen these before, but now’s your chance to buy one on the cheap! $25 (or $10) for something this kickass cannot be overlooked:

25 days until Halloween. To celebrate here are a bunch of sorry-ass lists of the “top 25 so and sos.” I’m positive there are literally a trillion of these on the internet, but I’m only posting 5 because we all have Google. It’s a good set of checklists to make sure you’ve seen and done all that you should have.
