Happy Halloween! This North American tradition of dressing up for October has spread around the world and we on the Quackcast acknowledge that by dressing up and joining in with the fun! Us in costume will be in a freely viewable video to anyone that looks at our Patreon this week, you don't have to be paid subscribers. I am a skull-faced Mariachi because I have a great skull mask and a pretty awesome authentic tailored charro suit and wide sombrero, Tantz is a magical steampunk vampire in fantastic makeup, a vintage hat and gothic coat, and Banes is a creepy Pennywise screencap haha!

When I was a little kid growing up in Australia back in the day Halloween was this strange thing you ONLY saw on American TV shows, usually part of the storyline for seasonal episodes. When it started coming here I, like a lot of people, resisted it because it seemed like obnoxious cultural imperialism… but I've accepted it since because the dressing up part is obviously fun.

In the Quackcast we chat about dressing up and some horror stuff. I watched both Scary Movie 1 and Scary Movie 2 for the cast to get into the feel of things. I had never seen them before! Despite being parody comedy movies I still found the killings in the first movie pretty disturbing most of the time and it just seemed like a normal horror movie in a lot of ways but with brighter lighting and dumber jokes (I actually found Heredity much funnier and less horrific). The second film was a much broader comedy, which was pretty silly in many ways but the jokes were also better done, especially the reconstructed skeleton scene.

What are your fave horror comedies? And what will you dress up as for Halloween?

This week Gunwallace has given us the musical theme to - Le French Ninja - This strikes me as saucy French take on the videogame inspired theme to Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. It has the sidescroller beat-em-up 8 bit feel, but it’s cooler somehow, wearing a beret and a black turtleneck.
