HAPPY HALLOWEEN Today is the day! If you’re like me, it’s the one day out of the year where no one looks at you funny!

You all know what that means! No, not hot dog thawing day, you should really do that tomorrow. It was the 30th anniversary of the COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY REAL EVENTS that inspired the classic film, Return of the Living Dead. So, Return of the Living Dead was released on August 16th of 1985, a year after it was supposed to be released. But that’s…
