Riff Trax - MST3K Your Halloween...

I'll admit, I've seen John Carpenter's Halloween umpteen kerbillion times and I watch it at least once every October.

But I've never seen it with running MST3K-like commentary.

Check out Riff Trax for a unique take on your favorite horror films!

A brilliant idea by the guys that brought you the classic cult TV show and movie Mystery Science Theater 3000, Riff Trax let's you download an audio file of the guys doing running gag commentary on tons of movies-- including horror.

Unlike MST3K which had to acquire the rights to broadcast the film with the silhouetted robot commentators, this new system allows you to sync up their usually irreverent and always funny non-stop barrage of humor to your favorite films right in your home.

The horror section boasts classics such as: Night of the Living Dead, Halloween and The Wicker Man... newer titles like The Grudge... and guilty pleasures like Troll 2.
Yes, that's right, there's a "2" there.

For a varying nominal fee of under five bucks, it's a great new twist on your usual Halloween viewing fare.

Be sure to poke around the site for other Halloween worthy titles that aren't listed in the horror section (like Plan 9 From Outer Space).
