Halloween Rides

5 Halloween Rides to Haunt the Roads

The final post of the Halloween season is here and I wanted to get some steel and chrome involved. Presenting 5 spooky, ghastly, or plain ghoulish automobiles!

The Mystery Machine

Scooby and the gang are no strangers to the world of the weird and their trusty Mystery Machine Van has been a mainstay. Decked out in a groovy 60's paint job this is the eye catcher of the bunch.

The Worst "Sexy" Halloween Costumes

Halloween, the time for everyone to wear costumes, even some of the less tasteful ones. The last few years has brought on a glut of "sexy" Halloween costumes or in other words, tasteless Halloween costumes. Your average Witch went from a dress wearing, wart-nosed monstrosity to a mini-skirt, tube topped cleavage demon. So lets get to the dirty stuff:

The Most Tasteless Halloween Costumes

Bert and Ernie

Sure lets take two Sesame Street characters and shorten all of their clothes by 50%. Also, swap genders.

5 WORST Halloween Treats

"Trick or treat!" is usually accompanied by a treat of some sort whether a fun-size candy bar, tootsie pop, whatever. Every seasoned trick or treater knows the duds though. Much like when Charlie Brown received his rocks as treats sometimes a house just gives out some awful treats.

The 5 WORST Halloween Treats

5) Tart Candy.

This one is debatable. I know a small portion of people actually like these sour monstrosities but I feel in general the tart candies are duds.

Vintage Halloween Commercials

Halloween approaches (and unfortunately the never ending Christmas creep). Here are some vintage Halloween commercials to get you in the right mindset.

Scooby-Doo Halloween Happy Meal Pails at McDonalds

New Halloween McDonalds Happy Meal pails have been announced. In 2012 you can snag one of three rad Scooby-Doo pails and a sticker sheet! While not as cool as the vintage boo pails it sure is nice to see something along the same lines from McDonalds.

See them on the McD website >>

Halloween and McDonalds

McDonalds may not have the best reputation for us over the age of 18 but there is one unifying factor for most, McDonalds in October used to be amazing. Every kid in the 80's and 90's (and really the 70's) knew that when October came around good stuff was going to happen when a happy meal was ordered.

Good things like plastic pails that glow in the dark and had opening in the top for use during Halloween night. Good things like plastic versions of chicken mcnuggets dressed in removable Halloween costumes. Good things like receiving a coupon for a sundae while trick or treating. Ahh yes those were the days!

Top 13 Halloween Movies and Specials

Tis the season... for spooky stuff! As part of the countdown to Halloween 2012 the crooked gang introduces its top 13 Halloween movies & specials, all of which are in no particular order (because they are all so good).

It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

The list has to start with a special that I know a lot of people young and old hold near and dear to their heart during Halloween. Hard to beat this classic.

Halloween

A classic slasher that survives (pun intended) to this day. A Crooked Ninja Turtle Gang staple of the season.
