With Matt off working on a project, Chris flies solo, turns out the lights, cranks the headphones and braves Five Nights at Freddy's 2, winding the music box, flashing Foxy and begging chat for tips while Balloon Boy keeps saying hi. Then the shaking stops just long enough for a few rounds of Jackbox's Guesspionage, where nobody can believe peanut butter and jelly comes in one jar.
Mary Jo and Chris squeeze into the wrong kind of matching costumes for the fifth Halloween special and watch Matt Reiser's surprise reel of spooky music videos, from a disco Kiss number and Halloween on ice to Bing Crosby singing about the Headless Horseman. Then it's over 50 costumes sent in by viewers, kicking off with Mary Linda Tomson as Chief Brody from Jaws.
With Matt out for the night, Chris goes solo to recap the week at Dumb before Emmy Martian dials in from the road in Ontario with a Bigfoot report and a creepy beehive tale from Freaky Stories, closing it out with an episode of Monsters starring Morton Downey Jr. as a shock jock who really should have left that box alone!
It's a spooky Tuesday night as Mary Jo and Chris watch SOMETHING EVIL, Steven Spielberg's 1972 TV movie starring Sandy Dennis and Darren McGavin, about a farmhouse that may or may not be possessed. As of this writing, we still don’t even really know. Along the way Mary Jo & Chris discuss ghost babies, freak out over glowing jars of jelly, debate robes and Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Mary Jo reveals she personally knows four regional Ronald McDonalds. WHAT?!
It's a spooky Monday evening as Matt & Chris play Midnight Mutants, the Atari game starring a suspiciously orange Grandpa Al Lewis, before switching over to Fester's Quest and a couple more Addams Family games that have very little to do with the Addams Family, then close out the night with some RiffTrax: The Game and a reading from the Halloween III novelization.
It’s a pleasantly cool Friday night in the Dumb Clubhouse as Mary Jo and Chris go live to gab about the newest MST3K episode, STING OF DEATH, Carmela Gersbeck’s obsession with Jason Statham and THE BEEKEEPER, Robert Pattinson’s amazing performance as Chris Hansen in PRIMETIME, and of course, Chris went apple picking.
It’s a spooky Thursday night as Matt, fresh off a flight from Asheville, joins Chris to recap the week at Dumb, check out some creepy yet funny book covers, hear a Sling Blade take on “Werewolves of London”, catch up with Emmy Martian and the very serious sport of extreme arm wrestling, and then dig into the 1980s for HORROR BY THE DECADE with a Halloween episode of Tales from the Darkside about a miser who hides his IOUs in a haunted house!
It's a fall Tuesday evening and Jackey goes live for another bonus edition of Art Draws Us Together, inspired by the very goofy INVASION OF THE SAUCER MEN. Her pup drops by in bat wings, Jackey tells the story of how she found Manos again, and viewers turn in a wave of delightfully saucy spacemen, including one painted on a foam pumpkin.
