It is the ultimate eternal face off!! Those who thought Dracula was dead were deceiving themselves. It was just a matter of when. With many different faces surrounded by black & red capes over the decades, the appeal of the concept crystallized by Bram Stoker will live forever in some form or other. As the 'other' category of Dracula is punched this year, we felt it was our duty to check out the new blood (insert The Who clip here) to see how it measured up. Can it cut it??
As the weeks of October blow away, we couldn't go without this comparison. For those who enjoy the horror, we have 2 more weeks!! For those who don't, please listen to our earlier episodes in the meanwhile.
*Notes: the adult film screening we briefly refer to had friends in it; it isn't like we're gonna start a series about it...
The legitimate trailer is up top for 1992, but we did find one comparable to the antics of the 1931 trailer. See that here. Also, here are a few moments from the promised
Looney Tunes Dracula sketch.

They say "Third time's a charm." So in this 3rd week in our celebration O' de Horror, we slashed through the pretentious red tape and gave you what you wanted. Or at least, what we know you would've screamed for, had we not done it.
Whether it be Beatles vs. Elvis, Vans vs. Chucks or even Zepplin vs. Floyd (Don't ask us...that's too hard) there's always that question.
For those of us fortunate enough to experience the 80's...in any version (formative years or otherwise) we salivated over this question like kids striving to make their
Halloween candy last til Christmas. It broke down social walls, established alliances & made us all yearn for that night when we would all file into a darkened midnight theater, turn our respective "Taste" dials down to ZERO and savor the succulent joy of the slaughter.
Plus, here is our Charity of the Week.

Fright Night
All Hallows Eve-tober is upon us and we have Tricks & Treats-a-plenty for the coming weeks.
We kick off week #1 in true Triforce style with a "horrific" chapter for our Remake series. While neither of us can attest to being dyed-in-the-wool "Horror Flick Fanatics," we nonetheless have a deep-seated appreciation for most things ghastly, gross & ghoulish.
So enough proselytizing...WELCOME TO FRIGHT NIGHT! TWICE!!!
Music Plug: We found 2 remixes for Married with Children used in this episode. The 1st is by J4yThr3e, who has some cool original tracks (a lot like DJ Krush).
The 2nd is by Dope The Mean Child, who does some cool mashups & pop-culture instrumentals. Check out their pages for some nice beats. Otherwise, sorry about the other soundtrack earworms we put in there (we aren't sorry).
