Things I Wanna Do (Soon Or Before I Die) 2008-09-18 17:35:13 Since my mind and heart usually go in a hundred different directions
at once, I figured I’d put pen to paper, er… fingers to keyboard and
make a list of things I wanna do. Short-term, long-term, whatever. I
seem to be thinking about these things a lot lately.
-Beat all of my Wii & Virtual Console games… So I can buy MORE games for Wii & the Virtual Console
-Learn guitar… again

New blog, same ol' Misfit 2008-09-18 17:32:07 So yeah, I've stepped up my game (just a bit) and got a domain name and everything. I'm just testing the waters for now, but we'll see how it goes!I'll be transferring all of my WordPress stuff over here, but feel free to keep checkin' up on both blogs! ;) Oh, and just for my own sanity, I'll be back-posting my WP stuff (ex: posts will start to appear as being posted in August 2008).

The Metal Misfit's Horror Movie Schedule 2008-10-05 12:43:58 I've got horror movies on my mind (and my mind on horror movies), so what? Keep your costume on, we'll get to other random Halloween stuff soon. In the meantime, more movie talk it is! Specifically, what *I'll* be watching (or have already watched) this month. I've already touched up this briefly, but The Retroist had his full say, now I've been inspired to have mine!Watched so far:- Right at Your Read more:Metal

My 6 Favorite Horror Film Franchises 2008-10-03 10:07:31 Any movie worth watching once is worth having a sequel doing pretty much the same stuff the first time around. Am I right? Of course! And horror movies are no exception to that rule, people die and come back all the time more often than they do in comic books and soap operas combined.For my money, these are the greatest horror franchises of all time. No matter how silly or bad they may get, I stil Read more:Favorite

AMC's Fearfest 2008 Schedule 2008-10-01 18:01:43 Yup. Monsterfest is no more, which is a darn shame because it's such a better name than "Fearfest". Apparently, they're doing this to shift away from the actual "monsters" in order to bring us lame thrillers like Panic Room.The line up actually looks pretty loaded this year, yes the Halloween movies are here AGAIN but AMC also managed to bring back some Hammer & Universal horror (though in the Read more:Schedule
Rating the 'Halloween' Franchise 2008-10-01 12:40:44 It's here!!! October! Halloween
season! And, of course, the 2008 edition of The Metal Misfit's Halloween Scream! I couldn't ask for a better day for it all to start either-- it's a cloudy, breezy 52 degrees outside. Real Fall is finally is here and to quote Kramer, "I'm LOVIN' every minute of it"!!!Theoretically, I plan on doing a Halloween-themed post every other day, running from the 1st up to t Read more:Rating
Theatrical & Video Horror Releases for September/October 2008 2008-09-29 14:03:17 Can't decide on whether to watch 'Halloween 5' on AMC for the 302nd time or to check out another replay of 'The Haunting' on Turner Classic? Well, have some fear! Run to your local video store (or do the Netflix thing) or theater to check out these new releases...I'm including September
releases as well because the movie industry likes to get a jump on the Halloween buzz early, especially when it Read more:October
Turner Classic Movies October 2008 Schedule 2008-09-29 14:02:31 Well, I wasn't gonna post this until September 30th, but I know people are looking for it and finding LAST YEAR's schedule instead, so I figured what the heck, let's throw caution to the wind!This is the fourth year in a row I've posted horror movie schedules for October

SciFi Channel's 31 Days of Halloween 2008-09-29 14:02:27
Another schedule (and they last one for about a week)! And they upgraded from last year's 13 Days of Halloween
to 31. I'll just keep this a list of "highlights" strictly dealing with the movies and any marathons they might do, otherwise I could write the whole schedule because they always show horror stuff.

Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Dinner 2008-09-28 09:16:57 [youtube=
At no time
was the generation gap ever more apparent than during the 1980s. We
kids called it "KraftCheese
& Macaroni
", but parents insisted on
referring to it as "Kraft Macaroni & Cheese". Will Smith was right.
Parents just don't understand.

NEW! Bubble Yum Hershey's Chocolate Gum 2008-09-28 09:15:50
I consider myself a risk taker of sorts. I walk underneath ladders,
I let the gas get to empty, I have three pets in my apartment when I'm
only allowed two, and I never wipe. So, naturally, when I saw there was
a Hershey

As we march on in search of truth about the mysterious Monster Pops,
let us not forget about McDonald
's peppermint sundae. I've made no
secret that this item is at the top of my list of foods I want BACK in
production. It's a no-brainer really. Ice cream + peppermint syrup +
holidays = $$$. Why McDonald's ever dropped this one from the menu I'll
never know-- but WAIT! I WILL know because I just s
Rolo Candy 2008-09-27 19:27:01 I rediscovered these suckers last year, after years and years of not giving them a second thought in the candy aisle. I used to eat'em a lot (perhaps too much) and I still remember their commercials airing during Saturday morning cartoons (Oh, those sneaky advertising firms!)Rolos were just a fun candy. I liked squishing them and biting them in half. And just look at that commercial, it looks like Read more:Candy

videos should be original and the rights owned by the uploader, but give me a flippin' break. Who gets upset that someone upped a mid-80s Burger King chicken tenders Christmas commercial? It's complete bull. No one is profiting from old commercials being posted, if anything, if the product is even still around, it might ma Read more:people

And a big 'SCREW YOU' to falling gas prices 2008-09-22 06:28:29 Why? I'll tell you why.There's nothing worse than filling up your tank (Well, close to full, who can actually afford a full tank these days?) and the next day seeing the price go down at that very same gas station quicker than a 50 cent hooker hanging around the dollar store.In this day and age, there's not a worse feeling in the world (other than a 50 cent blowjob).

Army Gear 2008-09-20 18:08:08 Anyone else remember these fine miniature weapons of mass destruction? I always get a good laugh when I look at some toys from the '80s because I just can't see these making the shelves in this day and age at Target or Wal-Mart for too long without some church or parent group complaining and getting them pulled for promoting violence and contributing to the decline of our nation's youth.

The New Scooby Doo Mysteries: A Halloween Hassle at Dracula's Castle 2008-10-23 16:43:52 It's a Scooby
Doo-a-thon! Here's another nifty Scooby 'toon I found written by none other than writer/producer Paul Dini. Dini has written fantastic episodes and/or produced for other popular cartoons such as Batman Beyond, Animaniacs, Duck Dodgers, Tiny Toon Adventures, Ewoks, Superman: The Animated Series, Dungeons & Dragons, Justice League, and most famously, Batman: The Animated Serie Read more:Mysteries

Scooby Doo, Where Are You!: Don't Fool with a Phantom 2008-10-21 17:34:34 Much like Transformers, Scooby
Doo just hasn't held up well in my eyes since my childhood. I was a HUGE Scooby fan as a kid, it's the cartoon I have the earliest memories of. I remember coming home from school and watching it in the late afternoons (I think He-Man usually followed it in my area) and hearing and smelling my mom's cooking.I had a Scooby bop bag. Though why I would want to inflict ph Read more:Phantom
Comic Book Mini-Series That Shoulda Been Ongoing 2008-10-20 18:34:23 I've been thinking lately a lot about comics and then I started thinking about mini-series that should have led into an ongoing series because they were so darn good. Three titles immediately came to mind...

Horror comedies! Enjoy the trailers! 2008-10-19 17:38:57 Tonight, in yet another attempt to go easy on my poor left hand (that doesn't sound right, does it?), I bring you trailers from some of a finer horror/comedies of the past. I dare you to watch these trailers and then NOT want to see the movie itself.

One of the finer moments of the mixed genre. If you think about it as an original idea, taking a hot
Metal Excess gets in on the Halloween Scream madness! 2008-10-17 15:57:35 admit, this is a *bit* of a cheat from giving you some new & original content, but what can I say? The hand is acting up again and I have been posting a Halloween

Monsters of Wrestling II 2008-10-15 17:30:00 On with part 2!The Boogeyman
Words fail me with this guy. Boogeyman is one of the worst wrestlers around today and I really have no idea why he still has a job. He truly would be the perfect Dungeon of Doom member. He definitely fits the "monster" theme, the gimmick is insane. He bashes clocks over his head, his top two front teeth are missing and he spits worms from his mouth into his opponents'
Random Halloween Commercials 2008-10-13 06:20:52 Okay, here's the deal: On and off since Spring, my left hand has been doing some weird numbing thing on the ring & pinky side. I don't know what it is and I should probably go to a doctor about it. In the meantime, for today's Halloween

Monsters of Wrestling 2008-10-10 19:31:16 Seeing as how pro wrestling is one of the great loves in my life along with Halloween, why not two great tastes that taste great together? Let's have a look at just a *few* of the freaks of wrestling, with more to come later this month...

Oh, Christmas, where art thou? 2008-10-09 05:50:22 I know Halloween hasn't even hit us yet and I'm in the middle of celebrating it, but... Is it wrong to already be yearning for Christmas
? RetroPlex was airing Holiday Inn this morning and I flipped to it for the heck of it and what do you know? I land right in the middle of Bing singing "White Christmas".Now I wish Christmas was here. =(
Retro Halloween Ads 2008-10-08 20:13:39 Not an original idea, but fun nonetheless...
I've actually seen this one before in person, probably in an old comic book or something.
Too recent to be retro, but I found this one to be particularly entertaining nonetheless.
Wouldn't you like your very own "Big Frankie"?
Funny enough for the tag line alone... brother! Who wrote this? Hulk Hogan?
