Karen: That's right kids, it's time to celebrate our illogical love of being scared. What is it about having your heart pounding and the hairs raising up on the back of your neck that somehow fulfills some twisted need?
Karen: Well, who cares! Let's start our Halloween off right with some clips from some great scary films.
Karen: If you have the time, here's part one of an excellent documentary on the Universal horror films:
Even though I'm an old man now, I still love Halloween. I love the costumes and the escapist fantasy, I love the vampire movies (especially Bram Stoker's Dracula by Francis Ford Copolla) and perhaps most of all, I love the candy!
My favorite Halloween movie used to be the version of The Legend of Sleepy Hallow with Jeff Goldblum. I used to watch it every Halloween when I was a youngster. However, try as I might, I cannot find it either on TV or on DVD! :-(
I'm a little late for Halloween, but i thought maybe some of the Marvel Zombies would like to know---the new Marvel Handbook- (these are still my favorite)- is ALL VAMPIRES. And there's a 6 or 7 page section with what seems like EVERY vampire to appear in Marvel comics from a-z, and a brief info and their 1st appearance---most are from the Marvel Horror comics of the 70s. The people that produce the Handbooks are my heroes, thankfully they keep the history alive.

Welcome to the Bronze Age Babies.
We hope you'll find the conversation stimulating. Not only will you be able to participate in the day's discussion, but don't hesitate to journey into our archives and visit almost 2300 posts on all manner of pop culture.
We hope you enjoy our community. Please be aware that this is a TROLL-FREE ZONE. We'd appreciate if combativeness, prejudicial or racist statements, and general surliness be taken elsewhere. Here, we are free to hold an opinion and to be asked to argue for it -- but all in a spirit of respect.
Karen and Doug met on the Avengers Assemble! message board back in September 2006. On June 16 2009 they went live with the Bronze Age Babies blog, sharing their love for 1970s and '80s pop culture with readers who happen by each day. You'll find conversations on comics, TV, music, movies, toys, food... just about anything that evokes memories of our beloved pasts!
Doug is a high school social science teacher and division chairman living south of Chicago; he also does contract work for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. He is married with two adult sons.
Karen originally hails from California and now works in scientific research/writing in the Phoenix area. She often contributes articles to Back Issue magazine.
Believe it or not, the Bronze Age Babies have never spoken to each other...

Great clips. I still think the original Alien is the scariest movie ever.
And in keeping with the theme...
Just in time for Halloween, I posted my latest action figure comic - "Fright Night 4: Monster Mash" on my website at...

It stars Spider-Man (in black) and the "Legion of Monsters" vs. some other big time Marvel Monsters.
