31 Days of Halloween: Evil Dead the Musical
SPOILERS!
So I have looked at a few of the Army of Darkness comics and I have not been shy about my love of Evil Dead 1 and 2, AOD, and even to a lesser degree the remake of Evil Dead. But there are some other times they took the Evil Dead name and mediums we have not looked at yet and one of them is the FAR FAR off Broadway play, Evil Dead the Musical.
It is a Canadian rock musical first performed in 2003 and grew so popular, so fast that by 2006 it was an off broadway play that one critic even said it may be the new Rocky Horror Picture Show. It grew bigger and bigger hitting other cites and towns. A friend and I saw it in in Austin years and years ago and it was great, even had a splatter zone.
Finally hitting the big time with Las Vegas, when Off-Strip Productions and RagTag Entertainment teamed up in 2011 to present it at The Onyx Theatre. It did so well it returned for another run in Vegas in January of 2012.
Due to the nature of the show, including the addition of 100 seat splatter zone, audience interaction, multi-media elements, and state of the art effects, lights, and sound, the name was altered slightly to include "Ultimate 4D Experience" to reflect production and design elements that separate the production from other stagings of the show.
The show has expanded to 5 nights a week (Tuesdays through Saturdays) and has an open-ended contract. According to the show's producer, it will be on the Vegas Strip until "the last fan is covered in blood".
The cast has been known the change out now and then but the main one seems to be the list below.
Even the songs have changed and updated over the years, look at the starting songs in 2003 to the songs changed and added by 2006.
Like I mentioned before, a buddy of mine named Chris and I saw it years and years ago at a small theatre which was also doing a spoof play of Twilight and we laughed so hard. At one point the sister is going to sit down and read and she chooses Bruce Campbell's biography. Nice touch and the songs are a lot of fun and it sticks pretty well to the story of Evil Dead.
See if it is coming near you.
Both Raimi and Campbell have seen and approved of this venture and while there has been talk of a movie version of the musical, so far it has been shot down and gone nowhere but with a new Evil Dead tv show here and a new movie perhaps coming, who can say what the future will hold.

31 Days of Halloween: Long Box of the Damned
This one won't be long, as most of Linkara's work can speak for itself. While he normally does Atop the Fourth Wall which makes bad comics burn. He typically takes comics that are considered bad due to art, story, and just pure nonsense an some mix and matching of the three and it is pretty funny.
Today we are looking at something else he does, only in October, when he introduced Mourte, and talked each episode about various horror comics, good ones this time but without ruining or spoiling any twists or the end of the stories usually. He started this back in 2012 and it has been pretty successful so far, so lets take a look at some of the stories he has done over the years.
He started out and still does stuff for Thatguywiththeglasses.com/Channel Awesome but recently go his own website as well in Atop the Fourth Wall.
2012:
He covers a large mix her, from House of Mystery to Freddy vs Jason vs Ash. Let's take a look at some of my favorites. He looks at Marvel Zombies, a spin off of the Ultimate Universe Fantastic Four series where the zombies were introduced.
Friday the 13th: Jason vs Jason X where they allow the half cyborg Jason to battle old school Jason.
Hack/Slash: a cool series, collected in an Omnibus, take talks about a girl who hunts the slasher and killers we "know" from the movies. They are similar but not quite the same, except in one case where the infamous Chucky shows up.
Check out all of them here: Longbox of the Damned 2012
2013:
Some of the more clever or weird ones this time include Batman and Dracula: Red Rain, Werewolves on the Moon vs Vampires, Zombo, Star Trek, Hack/Slash Omnibus 2, and even Captain America makes the Longbox.
Longbox of the Damned 2013
2014:
This year we open with J. Michael Straczynski's version of The Twilight Zone, We learn about 8 bit Zombie and Zombie cop.
Jason Vorhees returns in Friday the 13th, How I spent my Summer Vacation and Night of the Living Dead: Just a Girl. Batman gets into Halloween with Bloodstorm and Deadpool makes his first showing on Longbox.
We End with Zombies vs Robots.
Longbox of the Damned 2014
2015:
In 2015, for the first time he has a theme as he covers most of the Marvel Zombies series if not all of it, one shots, the series of numbered comics, Marvel Zombies vs Army of Darkness, the Ultimate Fantastic Four where it started, any crossover with heroes, even Deadpool.
He also cover the few Marvel Apes comics and where they cross, some cross with Black Panther, others with Exiles and so forth and he get them all before moving on to other comics.

31 Days of Halloween: Five Nights at Freddy's 1 through 4
SPOILERS
Since it is Halloween, or at least the month of and I am covering several things horror themed I figured it only fair to cover the popular horror game Five Nights at Freddy's which is up to number 4, as it is a small indie game there won't be much to say about each one. I will post links to some people playing the games if you want to watch and a few other bonus videos and pictures.
Check out Markiplier's YouTube page for more Five Nights at Freddy's Playthroughs.
Five Nights at Freddy's: The one that starts it all, you are a overnight (12 am to 6 am) security guard for Freddy Fazbear's pizza. You are in an office with lights outside both doors which are open, you can close them but it cost electricity/energy. You only have so much and everything you do takes away from it, you have to use your video cameras to keep an eye on all the animatronics from Freddy the bear, to Bonnie the bunny, Chicka the Chicken and even Foxy.
You have to keep watch and shut the door when they come up the hallway to your office, you have to guard things for 5 nights plus a harder 6th night and each night you have a recorded message telling you what to do and some backstory in to all of this. The game proceeds to slowly build up tension and uses major jump scares throughout. At the end you get your paycheck and learn some more about what happened but not everything. Including something about a bite of '87.
Five Nights at Freddy's 2: This is a prequel, you are at a much nicer Freddy's with sleek, more cartoon, kid friendly animatronics that still want you dead. You learn more about why, I won't spoil all the story but Freddy's Family Diner(the first of the restaurants) and Freddy Fazbear's Pizza have a disturbing history of murder and child endangerment. You are a different security guard this time, maybe even one hinted at in the first game, You are again overnight but this time there are NO doors, you have a flashlight with limited power and can watch the video camera with no energy drain.
Now you also have a few other things to watch out for, there are two air vents into the office and a long hallway leading right into your office in front of you. You have the four animatronics from the first game as well as the old ones
and Balloon Boy. Mangle joins the group and there is a evil puppet that you can NOT stop and must keep asleep my winding a music box every so often. This time instead of doors you have a Freddy head you can put on but it does not fool all of the machines. Again you have five nights with a harder bonus sixth night.
Five Nights at Freddy's 3: This is way in the future, by this time Freddy's has been closed up for years and years. The legend of the bite of '87 and all the murders that were unsolved but blame for at least a few were blamed on someone. It is a weird story, someone gets a idea to create a horror house based on the Freddy legend. You are again a night watchman watching over the site where the haunted house will be, you get messages again about stuff they have found and the legends of Freddy's.
This time you have to watch not just the rooms but the air vents, but it is an old system and now and then you have to reset the video or audio or vents or some combo of the three. If you don't you start to have hallucinations of the old animatronics but it doesn't end the game like last time but does distract you which could allow you to lose. On the second night they find SpringTrap, a new animatronic which you learn over the story may very well have a human trapped inside it who could have been the killer from the previous games. Somehow it has stayed "alive" and it's evil has festered waiting to strike and now it is coming after you.
You learn about the children and the killer, and you have several endings depending on what you do and the choices you make.
Five Nights at Freddy's 4: This one has more story then the others, you play a child in this one, and it is set mostly in your bedroom where nightmare versions of the animatronics come down the hallway, you have to rely on audio clues this time, a nice change from the others where it was mostly sight. You can shut either door while you are near it, Foxy comes from you closet and you can shut that too but as soon as you move back to the safety of the foot of your bed the doors crack open.
Shadow Freddy's also can attack from behind on your bed, just looking at them make them go away. As the nights progress you learn that your older brother is a giant dick who hides in the house and jumps out at you in a foxy mask, you are sometimes in Freddy's but you want to leave every time, the poor kid always ends up crying on the floor after every scene and you learn a horrifying fact in the end. A bonus to this game is due out on Halloween and is supposed to answer all the questions.
The Raps of Five Nights.
