Go to Hades

If you were in Chicago in 1995, chances are you visited Hades Haunted House at Halloween. Despite the corny 'acting' and ham fisted themes, haunted houses are great. I always enjoy good lighting and the black lights inside these things make everything look amazing. There's a certain charm about older haunted attractions. The dated costumes and effects give them a different character than newer affairs. Though, in time, the newer ones will join the ranks of the older haunts. There is definitely a hard line somewhere in the presentation of these commercials though. I have a real appreciation of that older style. I'm sure you've noticed.

On Target for a great Halloween

I don't mention Target enough here. Sure, I do when it comes to Transformers and everything. But they are a serious retail force when it comes to Halloween. They're one of the big retailers people look to for great stuff during the spooky season. Costumes, decor, candy, neat shit... they've got it. That cool orange skeleton with the pumpkin head everyone's after this year? That's Target. Mines sitting proudly on my porch right now! They always bring the noise each year. Just look at this commercial from 1995. That's prime Halloween.
