Halloween is a cultural phenomenon when people can dress up in the strangest outfits and not feel like they’re out of place at all.
JediShua and shazbazzar celebrate trick-or-treating with friends and fellow RetroZappers in preparation for this week’s fun and freaky activities (and eat lots of candy).
It’s the last Monday before Halloween, the National Peanut Festival, November, and the return to standard time. Oh, yeah, and the first Monday after the last trailer for a Skywalker saga Star Wars movie. Yep. There’s lots to talk about today. PLUS: jokes from our friends and fellow RetroZap celebrities.
In the NEWS:
Emmett Otter’s Jug Band Christmas is being rewritten, rescored, and remade…maybe.
We Want Candy!
Get out your plastic pumpkins and pillow cases; trick-or-treat is almost here! We remember some of our favorite sugary treats from Halloweens past as we scrounge around in our closet floors and find remnants of forty-or-so years gone by. This year’s top treats are also in the mix.
Creative Costumes
EarBuds and SuperFriends share memories of trick-or-treating in costumes from boxes, costumes made of boxes, and costumes created by moms, dads, and kids and kids-at-heart.
Star Wars Scrapbook
With the final trailer of the Skywalker saga available for viewing, rewinding, and viewing again and again (slow-motion and pause enabled), shazbazzar and JediShua start speculating in earnest based on what little has been shown so far. Let the hype begin!
