“Women at Annapolis? West Point?!?!?” In the age before the Disney Channel, the primary way for children and adults to watch Disney productions was via a weekly (for its run prior to the 1990’s) series that featured cartoons and feature length films, both of which were classic and original productions. In 1980, that series wasContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: The Ghosts of Buxley Hall (1980)”

Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Halloweentown (1998)
“Being normal is vastly overrated.” The Disney Channel has always managed to produce lighthearted family films that are entertaining enough but rarely extend beyond the confines of children’s entertainment. There have been a few exceptions to this trend, however, such as the High School Musical films, which spawned careers for many of its young stars,Continue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Halloweentown (1998)”
Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Silly Symphony “The Skeleton Dance” (1929)
The Danse Macabre Clocking in at about five and a half minutes, the Silly Symphony short “The Skeleton Dance” is considered by many to be one of the most twisted and wonderful things ever released by Walt Disney. Walt Disney produced and directed the short and his long-time cohort, Ub Iwerks, did the animation. CarlContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Silly Symphony “The Skeleton Dance” (1929)”
Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Lonesome Ghosts (1937)
“We scared’em all away….” Four lonesome ghosts, desperate for a few new souls to haunt, make a phone call to the Ajax Ghost Exterminators hoping to “scare the pants off of them.” Luckily for Disney fans, the exterminators happen to be Disney’s Holy Trinity: Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. The trio, surprised by theContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Lonesome Ghosts (1937)”
Thirty-One Days O’Horror: The Watcher In The Woods (1980)
Disney’s Strange Little Gem When one thinks of horror films, they probably don’t think about films produced by Disney. While the Mouse is best known for its family films, it has managed to produce a few solid horror flicks, albeit mostly of the family friendly variety. One of the earliest Disney horror films to pushContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: The Watcher In The Woods (1980)”

Days O’Horror and Hurricane Laura Update
Changes Are Coming As many of you already know, my home was lost in the destructive path of Hurricane Laura. My family and I will be spending the next six to eight months (possibly more, hopefully less) in a temporary home until our house is repaired and rebuilt. I still plan on going ahead withContinue reading “Days O’Horror and Hurricane Laura Update”
Star Wars Snack Time Game
“He’s Trying To Eat Me!” Fans of the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, and pretty much anyone that hasn’t been under a rock for over a year now, know all about the Child (or Baby Yoda, or The Asset, or whatever you might call it). It’s also safe to say that people either really love orContinue reading “Star Wars Snack Time Game”

Throwback Thursday: Swiss Family Robinson (1960)
“Right now being alive is more important than being found.” Disney’s 1960 family film release, Swiss Family Robinson, is one of the company’s most beloved live action films. Loosely based on the book (published in 1812) of the same name by Johann David Wyss, the film tells the story of the shipwrecked Robinson family andContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Swiss Family Robinson (1960)”
