Happy Halloween, homos! Today is a day where cross-dressing is encouraged (if not co-opted by the hetero-set) and walking around with a gaping head wound or an axe is acceptable in the workplace, so enjoy it while you can. In honor of the day we thought we’d take a look at some of the Horror Hotties of years past that made our blood boil and scared our pants off … in every way possible.
There have been a number of gay-themed horror films over the years but guess what guys? You won’t find any of them in my list. Instead I’m going back to the films of my youth (for the most part) and giving you the boys that made me wish they’d take a machete to my skull. Hurts so good!
While I’m a huge horror fan, I’m no bloody Prom Queen like my pal Brian Juergens so don’t be all judgy-judge with my choices. While Jason Voorhees was kinda hot with that burlap sack on his head and Freddy’s abs looked toned under that scarred and charred skin of his, they sadly didn’t make the list. So who did? There’s villains, heroes, targets, homos, and even cartoons to behold because that’s how I (and heads) roll.
Being the psycho horror fan that I am, this video of HALLOWEEN “Deleted Scenes” is seriously the best thing I’ve seen in years. Makes me laugh my ass off everytime. I don’t know that I’ll ever view the 1978 classic the same ever again.
Here’s a hilarious clip from The Daily Show where correspondent Rob Riggle takes a group of “real american” tourists on a double decker bus ride around NYC to show them the “other america.”
This is a sad sad day for DOCTOR WHO fans around the globe… what we’ve expected would happen has happened sooner than what I’d hope would be later.
The fraktastic David Tennant will step down as The Doctor after this years Christmas special and 4 more episodes that will air in 2009.
As you know, I was never a Doctor Who fan as a kid but when the reboot happened in 2005, I was hooked immediately and have been absolutely swooning over it ever since. While Christopher Eccleston was great, I truly feel in love with The Doctor when Tennant stepped in and I can’t imagine the show without his quirky adorable face. I can’t and I won’t… denial is the best method of coping.
I woke up to this news and refused to read it until I’d have time to process it and it still hurts – I will admit the video helped soften the pain a couple hours later so you too should check it out once you’ve gotten over the shock.

*Don’t forget to leave us questions for our next podcast where we’ll spend the entire time answering your listener questions about anything TV related.
Next week’s SUPERNATURAL episode is all about Halloween! I know some of you might be thinking that that sounds crazy seeing how “Monster Movie” seemed like their Halloween episode – well it wasn’t and we’ve been doubly blessed with SPN ghoulness.
Episode Description:
Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) investigate some strange Halloween-related deaths that are taking place in a town during the days leading up to the holiday itself. As they begin to solve the mystery, they also learn the real origins of Halloween and find themselves trying to save the entire town itself from a surprising pair of would-be assassins. Introducing Robert Wisdom (“The Wire”) as ‘Uriel,’ the episode also guest stars Misha Collins (“24”) as ‘Castiel.’ “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester” was written by Julie Siege and directed by Charles Beeson.
Hopefully Kripke wasn’t reading my blog today and that’s what spurned his response to the fans that I’ve printed below.
In response to fan reactions to the “Yellow Fever” mystery of the week, SUPERNATURAL creator Eric Kripke wants to clear some things up… about Dean’s dick… or rather Dean being a dick. Hey we can all dream.
“So I’ve never before responded directly to the fandom’s comments about an episode, and I don’t plan to make a habit of it, but I couldn’t resist dropping in a thought about the episode “Yellow Fever.”
Which is this:
Dean is not a dick.
None of the writers, or anyone on the creative team of Supernatural, think Dean’s ever been a dick, past, present, or future. He’s a hero. Dean did NOT contract the ghost sickness because he’s a dick. Victims contract the illness because they use “fear as a weapon.” Dean asks Lilith at the episode’s end, “why did I get infected?” And she cryptically responds, “you know why. Listen to your heart.” We, as the writers, probably should have emphasized this mystery more, I take responsibility for that omission. But the point is: the reason he was infected is because of a SECRET he’s keeping. A dark secret that will be revealed in Episode 10. And not at all because of any dickishness, implied or otherwise.
Thanks, gang.”
It’s kinda great that he used bloggers to get the word out to the people, no? Love that guy.
This was pretty much the only part of last night’s SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE: WEEKEND UPDATE THURSDAY worth mentioning. Here’s the video of Will Ferrell portraying President Bush endorsing John McCain whether he likes it or not! Once again Tina Fey shines as Sarah Palin.
I’ve been helping the folks at SUPERNATURAL tease this cramazing “Eye of the Tiger” outtake/blooper clip for the last couple weeks so I’m more than pleased to bring you the entire clip in all it’s hilarious glory!
Watch Jensen Ackles rock out with his to “Eye of the Tiger”
in this Supernatural “Yellow Fever” outtake:
I feel like SUPERNATURAL’s “Yellow Fever” was so hyped in my own mind (and all over the blogosphere) that going into the episode I was expecting nothing but a little disappointment. I really enjoyed this episode but I don’t think it was one of the strongest this season. My opinion might change as time goes on because adding Lilith to the mix and having Sam’s eyes flash in those final moments were pretty great so…
Here are some of my favorite moments from Supernatural “Yellow Fever”:
Starting off with Dean being chased by that little dog with the pink bow… j’adorable
The look on Dean’s face when he realized that holding the heart actually was the best option (I hope Sam washed his face in acid after that spleen juice bukkake action)
Gamecocks and Cornjerkers
Seriously with the hand sanitizer Sheriff?
“Tyler and Perry, that’s just like Aerosmith”
Dean’s crazy paranoia (the dog, the harmless kids on the street, doing 20 mph, “Am I haunted?”, hotel rooms past the 1st floor, impersonating FBI agents, the before mentioned dog incident, Sam as YED)
EYE OF THE TIGER! (and don’t forget the outtake clip)
Hahaha, a disease that only latches onto dicks!
OMFG, I almost peed when Dean let out that girly scream when the cat jumped out of the locker! GENIUS!
Our introduction to this week’s baddie Luther Garland scared the shit out of me because it reminded me of the ending to The Blair Witch Project (visually that is)
“Is he drunk?”
Um, how gross that people are taking on the signs of Luther’s vicious dragging death? That’s hideous.
Dean’s crazy people speech was great. Jensen rocked it!
Gumby with Pokey getting dragged around by a rope… hilarious!
I like the idea behind killing this week’s big baddie aka ghosty. Kill it with fear.
LILITH! Oh gosh, that little bitch is hugging Dean. Oh she’s scarier than one of those Fanning kids. Seriously with the ba-booming? Kill that skank already.
Holy crap, Sam’s eyes quickly flashing yellow at the very end!
With Halloween just around the corner and the Scream Awards having just passed, the first real FRIDAY THE 13th reboot trailer has hit the internet (shown at the awards). Supernatural’s Jared Padalecki and The Mentalist’s Amanda Righetti star in what I hope is a cramazing revamp of the original.
I’m a psycho Friday the 13th fan with my favorites being 1, 2, 4, and 3 (in that order) and at Comic-Con I sat in on the panel which featured a killer trailer but the most boring panel of the weekend so I’m beyond excited to see a real trailer it the web.
In general I’m not a fan of reboots or remakes but I have to say that I really dug the Texas Chainsaw remake (back in 2003) by director Marcus Nispel so I’m not gonna lie, February 2009 can’t come soon enough.
Check out the beyond JPad lite trailer for Friday the 13th: Friday The 13th
*Pamela Voorhees’ speech narrating the trailer? Hotness! (sadly though, it’s NOT Betsy Palmer’s voice)
The real reason I wanted to post about Supernatural today was to pass on an incredible article praising the show we know and love while asking why the rest of the media elite hasn’t caught on yet.
Here’s a portion of Ed Martin’s piece:
Why doesn’t the mainstream television press pay more attention to The CW’s Supernatural?
The occasional story about this four-year-old franchise appears from time to time, but from its humble beginnings back on The WB, Supernatural has never received the kind of outsize coverage enjoyed by such genre series as ABC’s Lost or NBC’s Heroes, not to mention The X-Files during its nine-year-run on Fox or the vampire drama Moonlight during its all-too-brief single season on CBS. Fox’ brand new suspense drama Fringe, which continually crosses a moving line between science fiction and science fact, became a media darling even before it premiered and remains a favorite, even though it has yet to prove that it will over time live up to the early hype. (That’s not a slam against Fringe. It’s a perfectly decent series. It may evolve into a great series. But, to date, it is hardly the groundbreaking effort that the media mania surrounding it would suggest.)
Meanwhile, Supernatural sits on the sidelines, largely out of sight and out of mind, at least where television journalists are concerned. That may be due in part to the fact that they are more intently focused on the show’s formidable time period competition, including CBS’ CSI: Crime Scene Investigation; NBC’s The Office, and ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy. But Supernatural survives and thrives opposite those shows, so where is the love? In all likelihood, some members of the TV elite dismiss it as a “horror” show starring two “pretty boys,” the likes of which populate many dramas on The CW, just as they did many dramas on The WB.
Well, I’ve been watching Supernatural this season and I am here to say that this series about demon-hunting brothers Sam and Dean Winchester currently offers the strongest and most satisfying mythology storytelling of any genre show at present. That’s an incredible accomplishment, given the problems that so many series with intense mythologies suffer after one or two seasons. Here’s another plus: Supernatural doesn’t extend its mythology simply by layering mystery upon mystery upon mystery, a storytelling construct first overdone by Twin Peaks, and then by The X-Files, and more recently by Lost and, now, Heroes. (Does anyone understand what is happening on Heroes this season? More to the point, does anyone any longer care about any of the characters on that show?) Rather, Supernatural simply extends and deepens a story that is always very easy to follow, even when the plot turns and makes clear that everything one might have thought one knew about the central characters may not be true at all.

I know you’ve probably already seen this LOST Season 5 Preview video but as I was sick when it hit the internets this is the first chance I’ve had to watch and post it! I’m dying for this show to return and this video did not help me keep my anxiety at bay.
Watch a preview of LOST Season 5 (Returning 2009):
I got really sick this past Sunday and have been trapped in my house ever since. I’ve been able to whittle my DVR down to almost nothing but can’t say that I feel like I’ve accomplished much as a human being.
There’s nothing worse than being stuck in your house and either not feeling like doing anything productive or physically being unable to accomplish the things you wish you could.
When it wasn’t coming out of both ends, my entire body was in pain for all of Sunday and most of Monday. Not aching, actual pain. My head, my neck, my back and my legs were killing me. I obviously diagnosed myself with meningitis but that never came to pass…
Sure I’ve watched a good amount of television but not enough to constitute a ton. Hell half of it was listened to instead of watched because I couldn’t turn my body in that direction for the first 2 days.
THE AMAZING RACE continues to be a strong season and come on, we got to meet Phil’s Dad… how sweet was that? Now if only we could find a way to plummet Terence and Sarah off a cliff. Those two are complete and total douchelips. And while they’re falling to their death, I hope that they somehow take those crotch-rockets Kelly and Christy with them.
BIG BANG THEORY was hilarious and continues to become one of my favorite comedies. Sheldon on Wolowitz’s scooter seriously almost made me wet myself. Surely I could pass incontinence off as part of my sickness.
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER was pretty good but not great. Some moments were incredible though and I laughed a good bit. I’m sad that they made Stella so unlikeable before getting rid of her but I can’t say I’ll miss her at all.
GOSSIP GIRL finally saw the return of little gay Eric Van der Woodsen… with Spring Awakening boyfriend in tow. Sweet, they’re finally giving Eric some action. Now if only someone would give the boy some cutting shears and some hair dye… for reals! Evil Blair was back in action which is always a treat. While I thought evil Chuck was back, I’m happy to see yet another layer of that complex brat was revealed. How about Nate and Dan being on the verge of bangin’? That relationship is way gayer than Eric’s… I’m just sayin! xoxo
HEROES was enjoyable. Daphne is j’adorable and I’m glad that she isn’t gone after being killed in the future but to be honest I don’t know what in Samhain’s going on with the rest of the show. I’m sad Adam Monroe turned to dust so quickly, who doesn’t need a little Sark in their lives? Marionette Man was a great side story, that was one creepy ass dude. Will someone kill Mohinder already? I hate that dude. I’m glad they explained Hiro killing Ando and it wasn’t a real scenario where he would have to go back and stop himself… a fake sword and blood actually seemed perfect and logical in my death bed haze. Then there’s Mr. Petrelli who’s an asshole of a man, stealing his own son’s power. What’s that all aboot? Come on dude, spread the wealth… I know a ton of people have given up on the show but I’m really enjoying it this season. I don’t know if they know where they’re going with it but I feel like I’m willing to stick it out more than I was before.
MY OWN WORST ENEMY was fine but as much as I liked the pilot, this was just more of the same… no literally almost the exact same. Everyone worried about where the show would go after the first ep. and unless it goes somewhere drastically different in ep. 3 I don’t know that Christian and I will be gleaming the cube much longer.
I was able to catch THE BIGGEST LOSER: FAMILIES last night, enough of it to infuriate me! I know it’s all sorts of wrong to wish bad things on people who are changing their lives for the better but some of these ass-faces need to go!
That spiteful bitch Heba is first on my list. She orchestrated Phil’s exile to Jillian’s team last week after almost killing anyone that challenged her in the food competition now this week she rallies against his wife, her own teammate, for simply being married to the man. It was heinous. I know it’s wrong to wish her ill will but right now, I hope she gains 50 pounds. The woman sucks. Same goes for Brady’s worthless, rat faced homely wife Vicky. Is she shitting me with her attitude? How she was the biggest loser on the blue team this week is beyond me but just like Heba, I hope that bitch goes home next week. Go Coleen, Go Amy C. and just for the hell of it, Go Phil!
On Tuesday morning my TV started stroking out on me. It’s been working off and on for the last 20 hours but it’s not to be trusted. We still have warranty coverage for it but the service call isn’t until November 8th. So fingers crossed y’all.
