We’re with the band

From Mad Monster Party by Rankin & Bass, a stop-motion animated feature by the same team who made the classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, The Year Without a Santa Claus and more. 

Features Drac, The Mummy, The Creature, King Kong(?), The Wolfman, Jekyl and Hyde, and a skeleton band! Perfect for introducing kids to the classic Universal monsters without going TOO scary.

Tales of Halloween: "Named “the best horror anthology since Trick 'r Treat” by Fangoria and "among the best Halloween-themed horror movies ever made” by DailyDead, this critically acclaimed film weaves together ten chilling tales from horror's top directors. Ghosts, ghouls, monsters, and the devil delight in terrorizing unsuspecting residents of a suburban neighborhood on Halloween night."

Gifts4GothsTales of Halloween review: I actually liked this a lot and consider it one of the better horror compilations of the last few years.  There is a nice mix of sub-genres (supernatural, monster, killer, etc.). 

Here are some quick spoiler-free notes on the various segments.

1. “Sweet Tooth” - short and sweet & scary. Great start to the compilation.

2. “The Night Billy Raised Hell” - the vibe reminded me a little of Satan’s Little Helper

3. “Trick” - one of the weaker ones

4. “The Weak and the Wicked” - not the most original idea but delivers.

5. “Grim Grinning Ghost” - short and scary - it will make you want to leave the lights on for a while!

6. “Ding Dong” - one of the weaker ones, surreal

7. “This Means War” - an awesome battle of home haunters

8. “Friday the 31st” - surreal and hilarious

9. “The Ransom of Rusty Rex” - not bad

10. “Bad Seed” - amusing.use of stop motion animation 

Bonus: The animations between the segments are great.

Meet Prayers, the San Diego Cholo-Goth Duo Who Want to Break Down Every Barrier In Sight

We chat with Prayers' gangbanging goth frontman Leafar Seyer about all the fucks he doesn't give.

NOISEY: You’ve always preferred industrial and goth music. You must have caught shit for that coming up as a gang member.

Leafar Seyer: Of course I did. I fought to be who I am. I got into physical fights to be able to dress like this. People around here wanted me to conform to look like what they consider to be a gangster. My homies would be like “What the fuck?” But I’m not part of that hip-hop culture. I grew up listening to industrial and death rock—Christian Death, Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys—bands like that. So I’ve always stayed true to my roots even though I’m a gang member. I never jumped around when it came to music because that’s the sound that always spoke to me. That’s the sound I identified with, even though the neighborhood I grew up in was completely the opposite of that.
