Topic: Addicted2DVD's Month Long Horror/Halloween Marathon

[addicted2dvd]

I hijacked Britt's computer for a moment to ask something.

I am watching the Halloween episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I have noted 3 episodes...

- Season 2: Halloween
- Season 4: Fear Itself
- Season 6: All the Way

I could have sworn there was more then 3... What (if any) am I missing?

[Dragonfire]

Hmmmm.....
I only remember Halloween and Fear Itself.  I'm sure I've seen All the Way..I just can't remember it right now.  I don't remember any other Halloween episodes.  Hmm..it has been a while since I last watched any Buffy.

[addicted2dvd]

Yeah... it has been a while for me too... I may have to start watching all the episodes again.

Square Pegs: The Like, Totally Complete Series... Totally: Halloween XLLWhen pep committee leader Muffy convinces their teacher Ms. Loomis to host a slumber party on Halloween, the girls are targeted by a possible stalker.

Stars:
Sarah Jessica Parker as Patty Greene
Amy Linker as Lauren Hutchinson
John Femia as Marshall Blechtman
Merritt Butrick as John 'Johnny Slash' Ulasewicz
Tracy Nelson as Jennifer DeNuccio

My Thoughts:

It is such a blast from the past every time I watch this show! This is a show from the early '80s... about the same time as I started high school. And while the styles the people had at that time is a bit over exaggerated ... I knew people like all those in this show. Brittany gets laughing at me so much whenever she see's me watching a series like this... that shows how teen life was way back when. As for the Halloween episode itself... it is a fun episode... but not really a favorite. It is worth the time put in to watch it... but I have seen better.

Stars:
Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy Summers
Nicholas Brendon as Xander Harris
Alyson Hannigan as Willow Rosenberg
Seth Green as Oz

My Thoughts:

Another Halloween episode I enjoyed quite a bit. I liked how the gang was careful about what costumes they wore this time... a nod to the first Halloween episode where they all turned into their costumes. I have to give it to Oz on his costume choice... his entire costume was a name tag that said Hi, I'm God!  And I just loved how the episode ended with that "big" fear demon.

MacGyver: The Third Season: Ghost ShipWhile out mapping the Alaskan Wilderness, MacGyver finds a ship with it's crew missing.

Stars:
Richard Dean Anderson as MacGyver
Dana Elcar as Pete Thornton
Katey Wright as Karin Graff
Michele Goodger as Joanna
Nicholas Rice as Bench
Byron Chief-Moon as Joe Wales

My Thoughts:

Now this is an episode I haven't seen in many years. I just recently got the complete series box set of MacGyver. So I haven't seen many of these episodes since they originally aired. And this is definitely one of them. Halloween episodes can be done in a couple different ways. Where it is Halloween and it shows the characters dressing up and being up to their Halloween antics. And then there is the type where they make it look like a normal episode (not mentioning Halloween at all)... but attempting to make the storyline a little creepier then what they normally show. This episode is of the second type. I enjoyed it quite a bit... was lots of fun.

MacGyver: The Fourth Season: The Secret of Parker HouseMacGyver accompanies his friend Penny Parker to an old house she inherited from her aunt, but he suspects foul play when the house appears to be haunted.

Stars:
Richard Dean Anderson as MacGyver
Dana Elcar as Pete Thornton
Teri Hatcher as Penny Parker
Gisele MacKenzie as Sylvia Lang
Ray Young as Virgil

My Thoughts:

This episode guest stars a young Teri Hatcher (Desperate Housewives). She appeared in a good half dozen episodes of MacGyver over the years... playing a character I always got a kick out of. And I definitely loved every second of watching her in this episode. Not only does it take place on Halloween... with a creepier then usual storyline... but it also shows that it is Penny's birthday. An excellent episode... one of my favorites of the entire series!

Ok... this catches the thread up to me once again. 

[Dragonfire]

Yeah... it has been a while for me too... I may have to start watching all the episodes again.

I've been thinking that for a while too...I'm sure I'll get to that eventually.

How is it that it is Friday again already!?! Well I have Britt's computer till she comes home this afternoon (about 2:30 my time). Then you probably won't be seeing too much of me (just a post off and on when I can sneak onto her computer for a minute) until Monday.  But don't worry, I will do another update post like I did last Monday.
