Manic Expression

Hello Expressionists, Ratin8tor here to give the Outstanding Content of the Week.

Well it's time of that week again, the time where I get swamped by simply fantastic videos and blogs and have to sort them all out to find the winner. It's not an easy job, but I wouldn't give it up for the world. Not when I get to see so much great stuff. Anyway, enough about me, onto the runner-ups and winners.

And the winner, of this week's Outstanding Video of the Week, is...

That Long Haired Creepy Guy is, as the name would suggest, a rather charming fellow that articulates his views in a precise and interesting manner. He also scares the @#$^ out of me. But enough of the demon that haunts my nightmares, lets look at his video instead. He looks back in annoyance at a children's film that's so scary that it's banned from being on television. So before you go to bed tonight, after you've watched his marvellous review, don't look under the bed. Or the Bogeyman might getcha.

Some well known, some more obscure, all guaranteed to send you diving under the covers shivering in fear. So as the nights grow shorter and the trees go sparser just make sure that you aren't being followed by one of these Halloween icons. It might be the last thing you ever see at all MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
