For the uninitiated... A contingent of tropers (mostly from across America) holds regular get-togethers over the Interwebs on this site called Synchtube which lets individuals, such as ourselves, open and join in text-based chatrooms within typical web browsers (Firefox, Chrome, et. al.) that allow the chat participants to view YouTube videos in synchronization with everyone else present (without even needing to set up an account)... and we've decided to use said chatrooms to play cheeseball webvideos and feature-length movies found in the public domain which stretch all the way from letters B to Z, which everyone subsequently riffs on a la MST3K.
For over EIGHT years, everybody who gets involved mostly finds good enjoymentnote in calling out tropes that are recognized in the videos and stories and coming up with jokes to fling back at whatever's happening on the screen, many of which turn into various in-jokes and running gags (a Coven Glossary is kept and maintained for everyone's help and convenience HERE) to repeat in the chat.
We're always looking for new ways to better coordinate and expand our activities and are more than happy to welcome newcomers interested in joining our gatherings.

Wow, that video was amazing. It was more random than Shine on Me. Pulling a tambourine out of nowhere simply because "tambourine" rhymes with "Halloween"? The effects are indeed shitty, and it feels like they gave a singing role to someone who can't sing worth a damn.

Tim Curry got his big break in a musical, man...
It should be noted, for anyone who wasn't there to see it, that for all the attention we gave every bit of stupidity on show (and, largely, enjoying it for what it was), the final image shown to us was the Leprechaun's severed hand flipping us the bird. I've never felt so insulted just for watching somebody's entire movie before.
Anyway, there's likely gonna be more of where that bullshit came from tonight.
Ice-T is a music mogul who has Warwick Davis locked up somewhere. Some aspiring rappers free the Leprechaun and steal his magic flute, which makes everybody love their rapping, Leprechaun and Ice-T smoke weed... You figure out how you think this is gonna go.
It's Leprechaun in the Hood.

The only thing I can think of now is Lucky using a gun to protect his lucky charms.
Mikon :3
I have a suggestion...maybe.
The 7th Howling movie, The Howling: New Moon Rising, has copies on Youtube. Anybody interested?
Didn't see a trailer anywhere. Probably a bad sign in and of itself.

There's a Dante's Inferno animated movie made by EA to capitalize on the God Of War ripoff they made. Does it sound interesting to anybody?

So Sean, might we get to watch the movie whose clip I posted sometime soon?
"They say I'm old fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast."
I don't know, Aldo, what if it doesn't happen? Might "we" get to participate in a show that is put on sometime soon?
While we're on this topic, after tonight, we're left with 11 more viewing nights for the Halloween season (not counting Oct 30th, on which night Return of the Living Dead is designated to close out the season, and Halloween night itself, which has been a rare night off for the past two years, along with Thanksgiving and Christmas). So we're getting to a point where what we watch should be carefully decided upon.
My personal nominees would come from a particular pool of horror "classics" (mostly from the 80s), below (Movies we've already seen have their ratings posted beside them)
- Fright Night (1985)
- Halloween III: Season of the Witch
![[awesome]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minis/award_star_gold_3.png "[awesome]")
- Killer Klowns from Outer Space
- The Monster Squad
- Night of the Creeps
- Night of the Demons
- Octaman
- Plan 9 from Outer Space
- Pumpkinhead
- Rock 'N' Roll Nightmare
- Student Bodies
- The Stuff
- Trick or Treat (1985)
And that's more than 11 titles to pick from. Whatever we watch, the suggestions that grab people's attention the most are gonna have a the better shot than the ones that don't get anybody talking.

I am pulling for the Monster Squad. I've heard that it's a singular film.

I'll vote for Pumpkin Head, if for no other reason than I missed it the first time (unless I'm thinking of the wrong movie).

I made a suggestion earlier for Little Red Riding Hood and the Monsters, and I still say we should see that, if only because it's a batshit crazy film. It's from the Mexican Santa guys, so you can imagine how nuts it is.
"They say I'm old fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast."
Must be thinking of something else. We haven't watched Pumpkinhead before. Real good horror story, though.
Tief girl with eartude
I'm pretty sure there was some sort of Pumpkin/Scarecrow related movie we watched (or rather the rest of the coven watched and I missed)...

Anyway, yeah, okay, nobody come to pre-show tonight.
Seriously, I can't stress how sincere I mean that to be. DO NOT COME ...unless you truly hate yourself and want to die; in which case, feel free to come and die.
However, at the top of the coming hour, Ice-T and Warwick Davis will be with us to give us something a bit more pleasurable in Leprechaun in the Hood.

Anybody remember the 2010 God Of War ripoff videogame based off of Dantes Inferno, which was nothing like Dantes Inferno?
Well, EA produced an animated movie based off of that.
We can have a drinking game. Every time something is rushed, is obviously based off of a videogame, has choppy animation, or rips off God of War, take a drink. But only drink water, because otherwise you'll get alcohol poisoning

Word up to my Tuatha Dé Danann peeps back home
War is God.
hey i dunno, why don't you tell me
I've played the demo for that a couple times.
I'm down for that. And I kinda recognize a couple anime titles from the beginning, so maybe the writing isn't complete shit. Animation looks to be derpy, though.

Evening, gents. Connection fizzled before I could say it properly. Thanks for the show.

I've seen the movie and you haven't. It's not "maybe", it's "yes".

Prom only wrote two lines
But that's all just fine
I can't come up with a fifth line... kit.
(Any major publishing houses out there should take note of my expert limerick skills, especially that final line.)

What more would we want?
On another note, I'll see if I can appear tonight, since I missed another Friday.
