Shocktober Video Daily Double: The Final Chapter

To close out our horror-themed Video Daily Double series, I thought I'd double up on the action for a video, um, quadruple double? (It doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it?) I bring you two short films and two strange, kind-of horror clips to lead us all into Horror Fest V and Halloween. Enjoy.

---

Our first short, "Season's Greetings," comes from Michael Dougherty, director of Trick 'r Treat, and features a character fans of the film will recognize immediately.




Our second short is the trailer for a film that doesn't exist, Gobstopper, starring Christopher Lloyd as a demented Wonka-like maniac.



Our third video is from Horror Fest favorite Linnea Quigley's Horror Workout VHS, which one day will play in its entirety (why is this not on DVD, especially when Mad Ron's Prevues from Hell is!?). This clip (which hasn't been shared before), is about the merits of jogging.



And finally, what kind of Horror Fest host would I be without including the most absurd video in horror history? When you're plotting out the second sequel to a cult film that is, by the way, going direct to video, at what point does it cross your mind to make a music video for a song that nobody knows exists in the first place? More importantly, why is it so amazing?



See you on Friday!
