In the last season there is one set around Halloween.  The guys keep scaring Sheldon..he tries to get back at them and it backfires most of the time.

The Good Guy Fluctuation - Season 5, Episode 7

I think that is the only other one that deal with Halloween.

Finished off the second disc. I am getting into the storyline a little more now. So also now enjoying the show a bit more. I am looking forward to checking out more of the series. The episode Haunted also happens to be a Halloween episode as well. As the gang all go to a Halloween costume party. So that was a little plus as well.

My Thoughts:

I have always enjoyed the Final Destination movies... and this one is no exception. I enjoyed it quite a bit. There is a lot of cool and gory kills in it. And I loved how it ended. The final scene was unexpected... at least I didn't see it coming. Some of my favorite kills were in the beginning of the film where he was having the vision before the accident. Anyway... definitely recommend this one for anyone that don't mind a little extra gore in their horror movies.

My Thoughts:

This is the TV series that airs on MTV. The only thing this has in common with the Michael J. Fox film is the title and the names of a couple of the characters... other then that.. it completely different. Definitely more horror then the films were. And in my personal opinion well done. I like the storyline and the characters. I recommend checking out the series.

My Thoughts:

Over the last few years I found that I enjoy these "found tape" films. While I enjoyed this third installment in the Paranormal Activity films... I have seen better. It starts of... and remains pretty slow for most of the film. But I did enjoy how they ended it. I found it to be worth the time I put in it... but pretty average over-all.

My Thoughts:

Still at the beginning of this great series.... at least watching on DVD. I seen the first couple seasons as they aired. They only put 2 episodes per disc on this set. Seems a little low to me... but whatever. I am just happy I have the set. As most of you know... I am a huge vampire fan. They are my favorite horror sub-genre. And I absolutely adore Anna Paquin in this series. Sookie has to be my favorite character. Out of these two episodes... I liked Escape from the Dragon's House best. I just couldn't help but to laugh at the reaction Jason got at taking all that vampire blood (for those that don't know... it is used a drug in this series) at once. Definitely a series I would recommend... though I have heard it gets a bit on the strange side... especially in later seasons.

My Thoughts:

This is another Halloween episode I watch every year at this time. I have read where there is a lot of people that didn't care for this episode. But I always have. Once again probably because of it dealing with vampires. But I found it to be a fun episode. For some reason I got a kick out of vampire Lana.

My Thoughts:

Sometimes it is hard to get into a movie. And sometimes it gets better the longer you watching. But then there is times like this when it is hard to get into a movie... and hard to continue watching... where you are surprised you actually made it through the entire film. What can I say. It was a really slow and boring start. No real action until about 45 minutes into the movie. I didn't care about any of the characters in the film. And it felt like it was taking forever to get to the end of the film. But despite all that there was a few decent scenes scattered in. I think I will be a little generous with my rating... and go as far as a 2.

My Thoughts:

I have been wanting to see this since I first hear of it's existence... as I was always a fan of the series. This is the first motion comic I ever watched. And it was definitely hard to get used to at first... but after the first few issues I found myself getting into them... enjoying each of the issues more and more as I watched. Being such a fan of the series I would have preferred if they would have gotten at least some of the cast members from the series to do the voices... but I can understand that they were unable to. Each issue lasted between 10 to 15 minutes... most being right around the 11 minute mark. This is definitely not a movie and definitely not a TV Series (although based on one)... so I listed these motion comic issues under Other. So this set alone completely destroyed my goal for "Other" which was set at 6. I had a lot of fun watching these... I would recommend them to anyone that was/is a fan of the series. It took less then I thought to get used to the style... so don't let that deter you.

3 more episodes of this great series. I am still enjoying every minute of it revisiting the first season. Great characters... enjoying every second of the storyline. Sookie's brother still bugs me a little. It would be really hard for me to pick a favorite episode on this disc... but if I must... I would probably go with Cold Ground.
