More DUNGEON HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWN Action

 Well. it's Friday the 15th and we're half way through the Halloween Countdown Celebration, here at The Dungeon!!..  So, here are a few things that happened recently, sit back and enjoy all the wacky mayhem and funny stuff that has unfolded!

The day started with a shootout when these bad sports, The Wild Ones, decided to fire at the guys (who are practicing their posing on the top of a building) who whipped their asses yesterday in a posing runoff. A very good example of very bad sportsmanship.

The guys on the roof fire back and The Wild Ones run away like scared chickens!

This girl was on another building taking pictures of the action only to slip and fall off! Luckily, she landed on one of the guys that was running away and she's just fine!

Here's something that's pretty funny! Notorious bad guy Red Devil was running across that stone bridge and fell off! 

A second after he hit the ground, he was the victim of his own patented Red Devil Pepper Mist! This totally cracked up the spectators.

Hey, check out our five kid virtual giant robot command game! Boy, the kids went bonkers over this one, destroying virtual opponents and demolishing real estate everywhere.

And now some good news... We had some great posing in our runoff yesterday, here are a few great poses from groups moving up to the finals next week. Wow, awesome!

These are the guys who beat out The Wild Ones yesterday, they will move on to the finals.

Another spectacular pose from these amazing finalists!

Oh yeah, there was an accident when our Monster Machine ride lost its wheels!! Needless to say, the people waiting to take a ride were very angry! It's being repaired.

Another impromptu freeform dance breaks out in the street! This one's called... Happy Halloween Countdown Stomp!

Here's a shot from our after lunch punch out.

It was lots of fun watching the gals do their thing out in the back lot, where they can practice their ball busting moves!

Here's a cool update, McBurgler was cornered in the cafeteria by some 'good guys' who started pushing him around. So, he doused them all in mustard and ketchup, which cost them $80 each to get the stains out at our ever busy Dungeon Dry Cleaners!

One more update, Allen's back, this time he borrowed his buddy's rocket cycle and played chicken with one of the enemies he's made at the celebration.

Allen whizzes by as  the shock wave knocks the guy on his ass, and Allen's gone, out of sight!! Just another day at The Dungeon Halloween Countdown Celebration!!

WEDNESDAY THE 13TH - "Vintage Halloween Commericals" (1970's & 80's)

 
It's a Wednesday the 13th in The Dungeon Countdown to Halloween, and here's a bunch of imagery from Halloween TV commercials from the deep dark past for you to peruse!

I don't know about you but when I think about PAAS, it's because of their Easter Egg coloring kits, not monster make-up kits!

I guess if you're in a business that is geared only to a specific holiday, it's probably a good thing to branch out into other holidays too.

In 1986 into 1987, specially marked boxes of Quaker's Granola Dipps contained flexi-discs, one of which was by John Lennon.

This commercial was touting Granola Dipps as hauntingly wholesome Halloween treats, with a Beach Boys style theme song, that sounds a lot like "Barbara Ann."
 
 
Oh, No!
These days, Granola Dipps are called Chewy Dipps!

These Halloween Zingers came with a special box!

Cut up that box, and transform an average pumpkin into some kind of Halloween monstrosity!

Believe it or not, but this is from a commercial for Hershey's Kisses.

 
This is an especially freaky commercial! This guy is at a Halloween costume party as a giant chicken!

Everybody at the party, including Frankenstein, is eating fried chicken.

No wonder he's not comfortable, it's a "Big Chicken Deal" for $1.99, and since he's the only big chicken in the room............

"Halloween's coming, what you gonna do about it?" Hallmark's "Spooky Sounds" tape might just be the answer!

This is a commercial for Woolworths. You can tell how old it is by the prices!

Wow, how realistic can you get?

This was an ad for a scary Halloween record called "Sounds To Make You Shiver."

This is from a commercial for a "Safe Halloween." Instead of candy or apples with razor blades in them, it was a coupon you could take to some retail outfit, and cash it in for some candy.


Today the "Safe Halloween" coupon has been replaced by Amazon gift cards!

This is from a Pillsbury commercial.

This 1988 Spooky Goop commercial is just the best!

If it's all fun and nobody gets hurt or dies, it just doesn't get better than monster makeup! 

I'm sure Spooky Goop is a fave with the Kardashian crowd!

 
I grabbed all these stills from just the first thirteen minutes of this video on Youtube called "70's & 80's Halloween Commercials," and if you want to see more, there's another half hour's worth, so dig in freaks!

DUNGEON HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWN Celebration Round-Up

Well, here's the round-up after 11 days into our Halloween Countdown Celebration, here at The Dungeon!!.. Today, things started off with a big BANG!

It all began when one of our invited costumed participants, The Loner, went into the fireworks shed for a smoke!

Then this uninvited group of disrupters tried to get over our magnetic fence!

Sometimes our participants in the celebration get into their character with too much gusto, like here on our roller coaster ride where The Meanie chokes out one of the attendees.

Realizing what he had done, The Meanie revives the guy and begs him not to report him to the authorities! So, the guy didn't report him, but it cost The Meanie $75. Lesson learned? Who knows, there are still 20 days left to go before Halloween.

Here's some funny stuff. One little punk, The Irritator, kept messing with this older gentleman, Space Fountain, calling him old and out of touch and to get with it, and that he was no match for the awesome modernized power of The Irritator, which set off the Fountain...

So, old Space Fountain uses his super-hydrant arm to send The Irritator high into the air where he flails around like a dummy on top of the fountain of water, helpless to get down! What was even more embarrassing is that The Irritator was stuck up there for a full 15 minutes! Then Space Fountain just shuts the stream off and the little shit falls down on his face. The crowd was laughing their asses off!!

Another over zealous monster guy, Rat Crap, took things too far when he threatened some children with getting cut to pieces! The idiot was fined $500, had to spend the day working in the mess hall, and has to wear an ankle monitor for the remainder of the celebration!!

Speaking of the children, well, we held a monster art contest with some pretty talented kids participating, this one got 1st place for its originality, called Faucet Freak.

2nd Place went to this creepy thing called Bat Brain. These kids are good!

Here's 3rd place, it's a crazy looking creature called Spider Mama. After the boy got his ribbon, his mom pulled him away and grounded him for drawing women's breasts on a monster, because, he's only 7 years old!!

These two 'opponents'  give a demonstration of fighting on top of a speeding truck, to thrill the spectators (especially the ladies) with this dangerous stunt. But once they got around the corner, the truck had to swerve for a crashed motorcycle and the two guys were thrown off and rolled down a ravine into a big mud puddle! Go figure!

This was cool, the cameraman got just the right angle to catch this shot of Kick Girl but ended up in the ER after she kicked him in the face when she came down right on him!

So we've already started the voting on the most popular costumed monsters, and here are some getting the least amount of votes! No one can figure out what the Hell is going on with this creation, the Tomato Juice Intruder. All it did was make people thirsty for a glass of tomato juice! The TJI has a total of 6 votes so far.

Here's McBurgler, all he does is make people hungry for a big old juicy burger! He has a total of 3 votes at this point in the event.

And coming in last with no votes so far is The Incredible Whatzit!.. And you can see why, we'll be back Friday with more Dungeon Halloween Countdown antics, later!
