Video of the Week

In Search Of… was a ’70s TV series hosted by Leonard Nimoy that focused on mysteries, the strange, the occult, and other related topics. Due to the nature of the show, it’s great for viewing around this time of year, so I thought I’d share an appropriate episode this week. In this one, Leonard Nimoy takes a look at The Mummy’s Curse. Give it a watch and see what you think.

A great source for that old Halloween stuff is Youtube, which probably comes as no surprise. Through the years I’ve searched out and come across numerous Halloween treasures. I thought it would be good if I shared some of the stuff I’ve found with you so you can enjoy them too this Halloween season. Check them all out below, and if you know of something I’ve missed, drop it in the comments for everyone else to check out.

As if you didn’t already know, a couple of years ago I co-founded The Retro Network alongside Jason from Rediscover the ’80s. It wasn’t long before we started reaching out to some of our favorite creators in the retro world to join us, and along the way, we’ve given a home to new creators as well. All of us have combined to put together a very fun and entertaining corner of the online retro world.

One of the leading sources for inspiration among everyone at TRN is Halloween, and over the last couple of years, a lot of great retro and nostalgia-themed Halloween features have come from this fabulous bullpen. Not only do I love to show off the work of everyone involved, but I also think that you would love to experience some of this as well.
