'Toy Story Of Terror!' Is A Hauntingly Great Halloween Special

Quote:
"Toy Story Of Terror" is proudly being proclaimed as Pixar's first television special and instead of Christmas, the designated holiday is Halloween.

The set-up for "Toy Story Of Terror" is fairly simple: Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen), Jessie (Joan Cusack), Mr. Pricklepants (Timothy Dalton), Rex (Wallace Shawn), Mr. Potato Head (Don Rickles) and Trixie (Kristen Schaal) are in the trunk of Bonnie's mom's car, watching an old-fashioned horror movie. The car gets a flat tire and Bonnie and her mom decide to spend the night at a seedy motel. The toys get out to explore and get picked off one… by one…

Unlike the wonderful "Treehouse of Horror" episodes of "The Simpsons" (or the "Shrek" Halloween special), "Toy Story Of Terror" doesn't follow the format of a horror anthology. Instead, it's a single, 30-minute narrative.

The special was written and directed by Angus MacLane, a longtime Pixar employee who directed the "Small Fry" short film (there's even a weird "Small Fry" visual reference, with Bonnie wearing a DJ Blu-jay T-shirt at the end of the short). MacLane is intimately familiar with these characters, and there's an effortlessness to the storytelling that is simply wonderful. The special toggles between comedy and horror with ease, mostly facilitated by Mr. Pricklepants, the thespian hedgehog, who points out the tropes of the genre as the characters are going through them. "Psycho," "Vacancy," "Hostel," "Alien," "Motel Hell," and countless other horror movies are casually referenced, but the nods never slow down the narrative.

Good to see there are still some Halloween specials out there! Disney used to have a ton of them both animated originals, specials of their current shows, and family movies. Ah well, Youtube has them still, all the way back to the radio specials...

Every Halloween Cinemassacre presents their "MONSTER MADNESS" review series - 31 horrors reviewed over the course of the month. The reviews don't really offer much in the way of unknown information, but they're still well put together. This year is the second "Sequel-a-Thon", where he focuses on several franchises.

Have to say, though, my favourite was 2010's "Camp Cult". Some great exercises in Cinematic Excess and Counter-Cinema that I'd not heard of before.

Definitely worth a watch.

Never heard of Wade Davis before? Haven't you seen The Serpent and the Rainbow? Read the book- it's better than the film. It's a fascinating look at the voodoo legends and the science behind it. Some scientists dispute his claims, but it's still very interesting.

What is everyone's favorite Halloween Cereal? My favorite is probably a tie between Frankenberry and Boo Berry. My least favorite is probably Count Chocula (chocolate flavored cereal always tastes wierd too me.) My fiancee got me a box of Boo Berry, a tin full of Halloween shaped sugar cookies and some caramel apples so I'm surrounded in awesome Halloween themed food.

I'm partial to Count Chocula but now that Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy are back out for a limited time I am trying them.
