Welcome to the Second Annual TAIC Halloween Party!
Hey, friends. If you were with me last year, you know that I spent the entire month of October working on a slew of Halloween-ish articles, columns and reviews. I called it the Think About It Central Halloween Party, and it's time to do it again! This post is going to stay here at the top of Think About It Central until November 1, making a handy checklist of everything in the Halloween Party. Here's the stuff that I promise you'll see here at Think About It Central during the month of October:
*Plenty of reviews of horror and Halloween-themed movies, books, comic books and TV shows!
*A photo-intensive review of the new Marvel Zombies mini-mates toys!
*Special Halloween-themed installments of Think About It and Everything But Imaginary!
*Four -- count 'em, FOUR -- Halloween-themed episodes of the 2 in 1 Showcase podcast!
*A new, original zombie story written by yours truly!
*A marathon review session of all eight Nightmare on Elm Street movies! That's right! Last year was the Friday the 13th marathon, so this year it's Freddy's turn! And I'm trying to arrange things so that this year's marathon features not only my thoughts, but also contributions from my Showcase partners Chase Bouzigard and Mike Bellamy.
*And more! (It is obligatory, when making a list like this one, that you end it with "And more!")
And here begins the list of articles that are already online!
