Happy Halloween Things To Do 2015
Happy Halloween! It's the big day for parties, trick-or-treating and watching horror movies! Please go through our Master List for everything and anything to do today and tonight! Here's a quick guide of new Halloween films to rent tonight. The list has scares and laughs to keep any Halloween crowd in a good scary mood. We also suggest, Ghost Stories for those into anime. The list has scares and laughs to keep any Halloween crowd in a good scary mood. If somehow you managed to forget costumes and decorations until now check out For Your Halloween Needs Dark Delicacies, Dapper Cadaver and Halloween Town.
Remember to play it safe tonight, LA...hasn't had the best statistics as of late. So if you need a little extra time after the party before driving or need to charge your phone, just wait and give yourself some time. Better to pretend to be the undead then to become one.
From all of us at TTDILA have an eventful night! Just come back alive.
Bwa-hahahahahaha.
Murder Balloon
As we do every Halloween on TTDILA, here is the so bad it's good Murder Balloon. A yellow, Happy Face balloon murders people on a So Cal community campus. It's dumb, and we suggest skipping through it once the music interlude kicks in.

Halloween Update: Last Shift & Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse Reviews
Scouts Guide to the Zombie ApocalypseWe were wrong, so very wrong.
For all the great special effects and boobs this movie is nothing special or even that memorable. The director, Christopher B. Landon, can't seem to make anything stylistic or memorable. There were so many ways it could have gone to be fun or be different. Zombieland had the rules from it's main protagonist, with this film the scouts could have referred to their scout book or brought up more useful scout tricks beyond the making weapons montage at the end. We're just sad studio money was wasted on a film that so clearly didn't have enough in it to make it that funny or entertaining. There's a lack of scout jokes and scout kills, frankly it's undeserving of its marketing campaign. How do you under utilize undead animals, be the director of this film.
Last Shift
The best thing going for Last Shift, where an officer has to spend one night alone at the old police station, is the title screen on the DVD. I enjoyed a disembodied head with a pentagram on it biting at me and was freaked out by it more than the movie.
Okay, the visuals were great with bag covered worshipers spewing blood. The rest of the story was predictable, boring and maybe written by someone who had seen better horror movies and thought they wrote them. Our main protagonist is a rookie cop that should have left the abandoned station the second things got weird, even with what small reasoning the film has her staying about losing her job. The film shifts through dream like nightmare so much it made me sick of what was going on next. It's such a waste of good special effects and an idea that could have worked if not executed poorly.
There's A Meal Based on a Anime Egg in LA, Japan's Business Sense in LA Dumb
Sanrio doesn't understand to just have something Halloween related...Anyway, the delightful and out of place event...
Y'Know who was smart, the people behind Hatsune Miku Halloween last year. That made sense.
Sorry... this is a fine event and I like the idea of a meal based on an egg character, but why do it starting around Halloween? It's so f*ing dumb.
Anyway, after Halloween, because you have better Halloween related things to do, head to Plan Check's multiple locations for the meal for $39 and you can get a limited edition T-shirt that I will question about if you got before Nov 1.
Oh, so you got the shirt, did you eat there for Halloween? Did you not have a Halloween party to go to or just suck?

Two Horror Films To Check Out: Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse and Freaks of Nature
There's some decent looking Halloween horror comedy in theaters for you to see before the Halloween party you have to get to this Saturday.
Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse
Synopsis:
Three scouts and lifelong friends join forces with one
badass cocktail waitress to become the world’s most unlikely team of
heroes. When their peaceful town is
ravaged by a zombie invasion, they’ll fight for the badge of a lifetime and put
their scouting skills to the test to save mankind from the undead.
-They had us when we saw zombie cats and zombie strippers. It has big movie studio money for a dumb horror comedy that might give us some laughs with great special effects.
Freaks of Nature
Synopsis:
In the town of Dillford, Vampires, Humans and Zombies used to get along,
but with the arrival of extraterrestrial beings, it's humans vs.
vampires vs. zombies in all-out mortal combat. Now three teenagers must
try to get things back to "normal."
We're a little afraid about this one, not because of the horror, but the fact it was shot back in 2013, changed names and directors and hasn't had very good marketing. Factor in a limited release and you can smell something being a miss. It's suppose to have and Amblin Entertainment feel, so we'll have to wait and see. If it is a flop, straight to the stream with it.
Both films open Oct 30th

You can get your tickets now for the event starting the day after Halloween, Nov 1 and ends in March.
What's the Rain Room? It's a room with sensors that allows you to walk through as it rains and not get a drop on you. With certain sensors in place you can think of it as having an invisible force field around you as you walk inside.
Only seven people are allowed in at a time, for fifteen minutes.
It'll cost $10-$15 more on top of general attendance fees and more than likely will be selling out, so act fast.

Writer Producer Frank Spotnitz (best known for his mythology-sustaining work on seminal sci-fi series The X-Files) turns author Phillip K. Dick’s philosophical take on the durability of evil—Original Sin as an institution—into an original series for Amazon Studios. Spotnitz is perfectly suited for the totalitarian paranoia of Dick’s novel, an alternative history which imagines that the Axis powers won World War II and took over America, where an uneasy truce exists between Germany and Japan.

Halloween Horror Movie Watch A-Thon Reviews: From Deathgasm to Tales of Halloween
This list has been updated
Rock on my Halloween metal heads. A fun horror indie for the whole...don't share it with the family. An idiotic death metal band summons a demonic lord to their small town. They'll have to stop him or he'll bring Hell on Earth. Most of the town is already possessed and those alive are being killed.
Deathgasm, also the name of the band, is that old trope movie of a kid whose life sucks asking for more through supernatural means. The dirty jokes and blood shed-anal beads as as nun-chucks and dildos for weapons anyone?- make this movie funny while disgusting. We start of with our protagonist having to live with his very Christian family because his Mom was trying to blow a department store Santa, that's only the start of the jokes.
Highly stylized to have a punk feel we were surprised at how professional the film looked coming out from an indie team. Special effects aren't cheap, they're high on making the head rolling real. It's two stupid hours of hi-jinks of demonic damning fun.
Hands down, our top choice for your Halloween pleasure. At our early Halloween party our friends came for an evening to enjoy this 80's inspired treatment on the slasher genre where the frat guys are being hunted instead of the frat girls. Don't worry, it's got boobs in it. Sadly, we had to cut the movie short for more Halloween activities and we've been e-mailed on an night to finish it.
This horror comedy comes to us thanks to 5 Second Films, check out our interview with the them here. Makers of comedy on the Internet for years they set out to make a dumb horror movie that would make them pee themselves every time they watched it. They succeeded, piss is everywhere.
There are no previous Dude Bro films, it's just paying homage to the slasher genre The plot revolves around one of the new pledges to frat trying to find out how he's twin brother was murdered. Mother Face is out to kill him and the rest of his crew in over the top deaths. Though if you look at death tolls the frat has killed more innocent people than the murdered with their pranks.
Fall in love with jokes a minute and some of the great frat friends you'll make with crazy cameos and editing with the style of coming from an old VHS copy that someone copied years ago. Seriously, be a dude bro this Halloween for more laughs with deaths than any other film out.
This vampire movie doesn't suck. A couple gets lost on their way through the woods of Ireland, the car breaks down and then the find someone worse off then them. Sadly, the person worse off is afflicted with a certain disease that has you thirst for blood. With a very small cast this film pulls off the frights with the struggle that the couple faces of keeping themselves well lit. This take on vampirism establishes the rule that all light hurts the undead creeps. Where another film on the list, Hellions, drops this for a uneven nightmare tone, FtD keeps rules in place that helps the audience connect with the struggle of the poor protagonists who just wanted a nice vacation together.
From the Dark captures all the elements that a horror film should and will terrify you until the very end. Perfect for viewing with all the lights off, late at night.
The plot revolves around being locked in a Mexican restaurant at a Halloween party...with cannibals. This horror comedy takes a bite out of too much. There's gore when people get eaten. There's games to be played by the unwilling host forced on those stuck in the restaurant. Bad jokes from the cast of party goers who all have played bit parts in TV shows and other films. Then a weird soundtrack, it's like how well the soundtrack for Guardians of the Galaxy was used...was not used in this film. So many songs for every moment.
The oddest part is the tacked on moments with Sarah Silverman-who does almost nothing in the film- and a surprise cameo from the team from USA's Psych. Oh, wait looking up on IMDb, it's from a director and co-writer on Psych. I guess that's why we felt nostalgic for the show while watching it. Too bad the lead actors in it just aren't as good Shawn & Gus.
You can do better for horror comedies.
Damn you Hellions' director Bruce McDonald! You had such a great concept with creepy Trick-or-treater children monsters wanting the unborn baby of a teen. Why'd you have to phone in that ending with artsy nightmare garbage? For what could have easily launched a new horror series with horrifying children sized antagonists comes a good horror movie at the start and then becomes you going "What?"
At the start we learn a 17-year-old is pregnant by accident and on a Halloween night supernatural monster children come for her child, they also want her blood to feed it. We follow our female antagonist trying to fend them off in her rural country farm house.
By act two the director either forgot what he was doing or was starting to get into his pile of cocaine as the film breaks down into a nightmare within a nightmare scenario with a cheezy last word from the bad guy ending.
Oh, from all the build up and the lead learning to defend herself from the the monster children we felt it was ready for a sequel series. Then you start seeing the cracks, already killed monsters come back to life. The film goes all nightmare and hallucinations too much.
You should watch if you want to see one of the best looking horror films-exploding pumpkin fields- that's plot dies somewhere in the middle of the film.
It's hard to hate an anthology film. You're only in a story for a few minutes before the next one. So don't worry, it's watchable. Not my favorite Halloween anthology series, but you have to give credit for all these directors coming together and naming themselves the October Society, so cool.
Ten films all set on Halloween in the same city. Boogeymen to a killer pumpkin horrify you in one go. Some shorts are better than others, to be frank some don't make any sense... cough, "Ding Dong." Others are just dumb fun, "Friday the 31st" has a supernatural psycho killer running away from a supernatural psycho killer thanks to alien intervention. It's going to be a hard kill for each psycho. Then you have more classic horror story telling like, "Sweet Tooth", about a killer who'll get candy from your belly if you don't leave out some for him.
The best part of the anthology is they all tie together. Though not in order exactly, you'll see trick-or-treaters and their parents pop-up in each others stories. Though we wish maybe next time-we're sure they'll be a next time-the other stories could influence each other.
The Editor This film perfectly mimics and makes fun of the classic 70's Italian horror movies that play at any classic horror film festival. Complicated and convoluted plot, check. Badly dubbed, check. Boobs, check. Funky synth tracks, check. I'm amazed Shout! Factory picked it up and not Drafthouse, it's just so damn good as a parody.
The off-kilter crazy plot involves as an editor, Rey Ciso played by Adam Brooks, who lost four of his fingers on his right hand in a horrible accident. Now a psycho killer is killing the cast and crew where Ciso works and everyone is blaming him because the killer is leaving all his victims missing four fingers on their right hand as well. Ciso continues to work an edit a film that keeps losing cast while a lead detective thinks he's doing it and even Ciso starts to question if he's losing his mind.
