The Mouse of Survival Horror

Okay... okay... this is amazing.

Disney's Japanese parks are known for being some of the best theme parks in the world, specifically DisneySea. Their version of the Tower of Terror has always looked to be a high-caliber effort, but then there's this promo video made for the ride that's just chef's kiss.

Admittedly, I'm a fan of older '90s video game 3D animation, but the PS1 cutscene look of this production is just... man.

I'm at a loss for words, and this is another one of those times I'm just showing you something awesome.

Happy Halloween.

That's Mr. Donuts, like my father

I love donuts. When I've had a hard night at work, stopping by my local Frazier's for a Mountain Dew Zero and a donut is just the thing. Big chain, local joint, or even a grocery store bakery. I don't care where it's from. I love 'em. Of course special occasions are extra fun and most donut places do something awesome for the spooky season. It warms my heart remembering those old visits to Dunkin Donuts and getting a dozen of their annual Halloween donuts. I often find myself wishing that I had access to cool things from Japan. Like these awesome Halloween donuts from Mr. Donuts. Just look at that damn jack o' lantern one. I'd be just right with a warm cup of pumpkin spice.

Jaseiken Necromancer? I hardly know you!

A scary video game is just the right thing to spend an evening with during the spooky season. If you're like me, you'll love older games like Jaseiken Necromancer. Between it's H.R Giger art (which was all the rage at the time) and scary twist on the RPG video game formula, it stood out. I really love the commercial itself too. The excellent miniatures and stop motion monsters really create a cool and creepy production. Just pure character in atmosphere.

Beware of the Terror House!

I'm mostly aware of Takeshi Kitano from Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, a funny dub job of the show Takeshi's Castle that was on in my early 20's. I still watch it regularly and it introduced me to Takeshi Kitano. Who's been in so many things... it's hard to list them all. It's no wonder why Bandai asked him to help sell their line of handheld LCD games in 1982, he's a big star. This one in particular is perfect for a spooky night with a horror marathon on in the background. Or something creepy to do in between handing out candy to kids on Halloween night.  Known here as Terror House and in Japan as Akuryo no Yakata, the game has some pretty great spooky graphics. I kinda want to play it right now.

Mortal Kombat!!!! (you have to yell it)

I've talked about that college job at Office Max here before. I took advantage of the copy center to make an enlarged diagram of all the special moves in Mortal Kombat Trilogy. It came in handy.

Hello Halloween

For some reason, fast food just goes with Halloween. McDonald's, the epitome of fast food, has always been right there each spooky season. The shake machine may never work, but they got your back for an awesome Halloween Happy Meal. This one is particular... dang, it's pretty cool. Hello Kitty and her gang are impossible not to love and these little figures are ready to go trick or treating. I don't have any jokes... this is pretty great.

Weekly Halloween~ Around the Corner

With Halfway 2 Halloween over on the site, I guess it's time to get back to normal for awhile. It's not fall, it's spring... not quite Halloween. Halfway to summer too. Summer is when Halloween truly rears it's head as the alarm is sounded... Code Orange. Soon enough there'll be little sneaks and peaks of the spooky season as it slowly makes it's ways into stores. Some will outright start stocking in summer for the Great Pumpkin's arrival...others will slowly filter it in before their onslaught of orange. Until then, everyday is Halloween on Zone Base.

May the 4th Be With You
