“Anything Can Happen on Halloween” by Tim Curry as The Grand Wizard in A Bewitching 80s Made-For-TV Movie

Posted on 2022-10-02 by Wacky Alex

Tim Curry appeared in a made-for-tv movie called The Worst Witch in 1986. He played the role of The Grand Wizard of The Witch Academy. Charlotte Rae also appeared as Miss Cackle the teacher, and Agatha, the teacher’s evil twin.

Curry performed a rather fetching number about Halloween Night in the film.

The movie was then released on VHS and DVD. You can still buy it on amazon but we have not found a streaming service that currently offers this film.

The movie was followed a TV Series of the same name. It can be found on free services tubi and Freevee.

“This Is Halloween” from The Nightmare Before Christmas by Broken Peach Live in The Woods But Dead

Posted on 2022-10-01 by Wacky Alex

Danny Elfman wrote the quintessential Halloween carol, “This is Halloween” for Tim Burton’s smash hit movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas. Every nerd knows the original. A lot of us have heard the song covered by the sicko whom is never mentioned. How excellent it is to have this new version — and (sort of) LIVE.

Broken Peach is dolled up in death skull makup and play the song live to tape on an overcast day in the woods somewhere. The supporting floor tom drums are the perfect finishing touch.GloOooOoMY.

I suspect this track gained them a lot of new fans since its was first published in 2015.
