Oh, man! We’re heading into the holidays and I’m going through the cashola like water.
I did a bar crawl with some pals this weekend and hit some of the cool hot spots in Philly. We started out shootin’ pool, drinkin’ Black & Tans and downing snacks at Tattooed Mom on South Street. I totally lost count at one point but woke up the next morning with assorted coasters from Standard Tap, Good Dog Bar, Fergie’s Pub, Fado and Dark Horse.  Not too shabby. I still got the Mo-Jo.

Then, I took in some cool flicks: The Fourth Kind with Milla Jovovich, The Box with Cameron Diaz and Clooney’s Men who Stare at Goats. I spent $35.00 just on popcorn and cokes. Add the tickets and I’m tapped out!

This is why I had to head for Rent-A-Mutt and beg for work from that cheapskate, Jerry Jenkins. Ten bucks says I’ll end up going back and taking anything he gives me before Christmas.

Anyway, I gotta get ready for my big night on the Red Carpet. Tonight’s the Premiere of the amazing New Hope, Pa. Documentary, Embraceable You. It’s a major tribute to an amazing river town chock full of exceptionally awesome & creative people.

Then there’s the after party at Havana Bar so I’m gonna stuff myself at that bash for sure.

Hey, have a primo Thanksgiving with those you love. I’m gonna be cooking with Evan so El Brat (TJ) can relish his first food-driven holiday with his old man and uncle.

Oh, man! What a great series! A real marquee matchup between two of baseball’s most awesome franchises. Of course, I’m a diehard Philly Phan, so as you can imagine I’m totally crushed about the way that this thing turned out. I never did get to see a game live. Unfortunately, my son TJ, (“Philly Todd”) thwarted my every attempt, consumed with proving that he is more of a Philly guy than yours truly. Mini-dweeb. I did have primo seats at Chickie’s and Pete’s though (yes, Evan, the zucchini sticks were great, creep…), and made some phantastic observations about this year’s Yankee’s v Phillies Fall Classic:

**Chase Utley is as cold as ice. When ol’ Chase tied Reggie Jackson’s 32 year old record for most home-runs in a World Series in game 5, he barely even cracked a smile. Just casually jogged into the dugout and squirted some more of that LA Looks gel into his hair like always. He’s The Fonzie of the MLB. (I’d love to knock back a Black ‘N Tan with this dude- maybe get an autograph n’ stuff so the brat and I could open up a Phillies memorabilia store).

**Everything that Chase was this year, Ryan Howard was not. Ryan got a MLB record too- for the most strikeouts in a World Series. I say Ryan, put down the Subway Big Philly Cheesesteak that you love endorsing so much and get into the cage to earn your spot on our roster. Jared’s not gonna help you with your hitting, buddy. (Note: I don’t really have room to talk. Found a quarter of a Geno’s cheesesteak in my bed when I woke up after Game 4. Rough night, don’t wanna talk about it).

**A-Rod (A-Fraud/A-Roid) is an arrogant, cocky baby as in everything that’s wrong with professional sports today. This guy needs to keep his mouth shut and stop loving himself so freaking much, even if he is dating Kate, one of the hottest chicks in Hollywood. (Call me, Kate, we’ll shoot some pool and slam some shots at Tattooed Mom on South Street. You’re payin’, babe…).

**Solid management from Charlie. His only blunder-pulling Shane “The Flyin’ Hawaiian” Victorino in the eighth inning of game 5. I mean, Shane wanted to be in the game (I think I even heard the little guy singing “Centerfield”)! It’s the World Series, Chuckie, you can’t bench your stars over a bruised hand.

**Cliff Lee is incredible. Enough said. (This dude made my late nights in town watching the series worth it- even if I did wake up with coasters from a dozen dive bars and a card that said Ali Baba Limousine. Man, I’m afraid to open my credit card bill. Nothin’ new there…

**Philadelphia and New York have some of the best, rowdiest fans in sports.  Honestly, I’m just surprised no one was injured in the stands. (Why can’t I be the mascot for the Phils though? I’m phunnier than the Phanatic!)

** Unfortunately, in today’s game, you can buy a World Series. Let’s be honest here- the Yankees are built like a fantasy team and don’t have half of the passion or chemistry that the Phils do, despite having double the salaries.  There’s a reason that the Yankees have consistently been one of the best teams in baseball for nearly a century, and that reason is green and has dead presidents all over it.

** You can buy the players, but you can’t buy a Series victory. Even though the Phillies are a great team and are defending World Champs, they were looked upon as the proverbial David swinging the rock in this series, hoping against hope to take down a giant. Simply put, passion goes a long way, and the Phils had more than the Yanks. It’s refreshing to see talent and sportsmanship win out over ego and money, because it doesn’t happen much any more in professional Sports (see: the Lakers and the Cowboys).

Alright! Now I gotta get my head into The Eagles! Woo-hooo!

Oh, Man! This Whole Phillies/Yankees World Series experience has slammed me back on the street of Philly like never before. My kid, TJ (known as Philly Todd on the streets downtown, I’ve learned…) got two box seats from friends. So he’s put me through an insane agenda in order to get the extra ticket. Below is the 17 Point Rundown. And it’s not for the timid. Here goes.

#1) Cheesesteak Eating Contest: I like Pat’s Cheesesteaks. The kid like’s Geno’s. They’re mega competitors, right across the street from each other. So the brat challenged me to an “Eat-Off” to see who can eat the most cheesesteaks while watching each other from across the street as we pigged out. (Guess who won? Then guess who had to pick up the tab? Uh-huh, yeah…)

#2) Art Museum Steps: I had to do the “Rocky Run” up those steep steps 10 times without stopping.  (I made it to “4” and then he just plain felt sorry for me. Dweeb.)

#3) Fix the Crack in The Liberty Bell. (I know a welder but it looks doubtful)

#4) Get Will Smith’s Autograph (If any connections out there, write me at the show…)

#5) Buy the kid every season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia on DVD. (Done)

#6) Climb to the to the top of City Hall and put a “Philly Todd” shirt on the statue of William Penn. (Almost made it. Thank God I dated the Security Guy’s dog.)

#7) Sneak into the Mutter Museum and take a petrified baby in a jar. (I refused to do this and scolded him for even thinking of such a disturbing task. The last thing I need is for this kid to go Jeff Dahmer on me…)

#8) Buy every variety of Tastykake. (No brainer. Done)

#9) Steal Chase Utley’s Jockstrap (No.)

#10) Buy tickets for TJ and five of his friends for an IMAX movie at the Franklin Institute. (Was able to negotiate for 2 tix – really starting to resent this whole parenting thing…)

#11) Get him an exclusive lunch with Ed Rendell. (Why a kid would want this, I have no idea. Called Rendell’s office and got a resounding “You're kidding, right?” mixed with hysterical laughter. I’m losing all credibility here...)

#12) Spend the night in the Eastern State Penitentiary. (Okay, this actually touched my heart since it’s a dream of mine too. Settled by taking him there for Halloween. Scored big points!)

#13) Take him to the Reptile & Amphibian House at the Philadelphia Zoo. (Done. Now he wants a Gila Monster. Great. )

#14) Grab a few Yuenglings with The Philly Phanatic. (No drinking, but a call into a pal who has connections).

#15) $100.00 bucks in cash for a shopping spree at the King of Prussia Mall. (No, dammit!)

#16) Get him on Chio in the Morning (Okay, I’ve been trying to get on Chio since we launched my show. If this little runt makes it, I’ll lose it. Anyway, called them.)

#17) A role in M. Night Shyamalans next movie. (Talked him into a “walk on”. Have a call in to a craft services pal who worked on The Happening & The Village).

So there ya go: My kid, “Philly Todd” in a nutshell. The mutt’s a Philly Hustler, a pain in the ass and knows how to work his old man. Gotta tell ya, as much as I wanna boot him over to Jersey, he’s a chip off the ole you know what!

Oh, man! Ready? GO PHILLIES!!!!!!! I gotta admit, I am proud as hell of the team and my kid, TJ -- known on the street of Philly as “Philly Todd.” Before he tracked me down, he roamed the streets of Brotherly Love and knows every nook and cranny of the town. He’s a regular at “Chickie’s & Pete’s Bar” and has slept many a night in Citizens Bank Park. We’re both gonna bond big time over this World Series event!

Okay, Creep Time:

Another twisted blog where I get to wax all things Halloween!  And my creepy zombie portrait is by artist Robert Sacchetto. Talk about twisted stocking stuffers! Check him out. Cool guy. Listening to Nox Arcana while writing this. Sca-ry! Okay, here goes!

Last week I zeroed in on some of my favorite creepy havens: Los Angeles, Salem, Ma. and New Orleans. I’m gonna toss in a few more locations travel wise just for creeps. Then, add some of my top picks in events and unnerving movies.

Got air miles? Then leap on a plane and head to Prague, Czech Republic. This place is steeped with spirits all set in a cool, bohemian environment. Sure, there’s great classical music in the air, but see how comforting that is after going to the Torture Museum. These Euro Guys thought of things I can’t even talk about. Oh, and don’t forget to check out the Astronomical Clock in the center of town. And if you chose to order absinthe while there, add water! That stuff will burn your guts out!

Romania Dracula Tour: Transylvania: Okay, I’m breaking a rule here. I have not been there yet. But if you Google this stuff, you’ll find amazing, creepy tours that take you to the Castle Dracula. Man, Halloween with Vlad the Impaler! I’m all over this and hope to get there as soon as I have the cashola!

Okay, here come the Events:
If it’s a mind-blowing spectacle you’re after, then, hands down, The Procession of the Ghouls in New York City is killer. It’s held at St. John the Divine Church. The Ghouls in the procession are designed by the brilliant, award-winning mask/puppet designer, Ralph Lee. In fact, we featured them in the show this week. This year they’re doing Nosferatu. You watch the silent movie while the church organ plays away. Then, the ghouls come out.  Totally amazing!

Then, head up the Hudson to the chilling Hudson Valley and there you’ll find the burg of Sleepy Hollow in Tarrytown, New York. Of course, this is home of Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and the town does an awesome Headless Horseman re-enactment. Again, the footage you’ll see in this week’s show is the event in Tarrytown!

While you’re in the area, be sure to hit The Great Jack O’ Lantern Blaze and check out than 4,000 individually hand-carved pumpkins lit up throughout the wooded walkways, orchards, and gardens of historic Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y. Both The Blaze and the Horseman fall under the areas’ Legend Weekend.  Awesome.

And if that’s not enough for ya, then trot on over to the Headless Horseman Hayride in Ulster Park, N.Y. This Theme Park was rated in The Top 10 nationwide on the Creepy Attractions List.

I’m gonna sew it up with The Eastern State Penitentiary here in Philly. A real prison, tortured souls and one of the best attractions I’ve ever experienced. I mean, I haven’t been to the creepy Isle of Man or Loch Ness, but trust me, this event is the real deal.

And always check out the Travel Channel around this time of year. They really lay it out for all us Halloween Fanatics.

Alright! Headed out to see the remake of The Stepfather. It was freaky the first time out a trillion years ago (my folks have a copy). Doing a Wings & Brewski Frightfest this weekend with some of my favorite flicks. Most are oldies but creepies. They include: Freaks, by Tod Browning, Village of the Damned (the original), Magic (with Sir Anthony Hopkins), Creepshow (fun as hell!).

And check this link out. Cool & hilarious! http://www.horrorfestonline.com

Oh, man! This is my primo week of the year! It’s getting close to Halloween so there’s all this creepy anxiety in the air!

If you see me in the Prius tooling around, just know that I’m playing my favorite tunes by the gothic group Midnight Syndicate like, nonstop! It makes me think of all the amazingly scary places I’ve visited. I think now is the time to share some of them with you. Mainly ‘cause there’s still time to makes plans to check them out. Or save this ongoing list ‘til next year. Either way, it’s time to start shivering! I’ll finish off the list next week on our twisted Halloween Show!

Here we go! The Daddy-Long Legs of Creep Fests per TODD of the DEAD!

DISCLAIMER: Here’s my #1 Rule: You find the scariest places on your own, not through hype and marketing. Folks can lead you to attractions, but the real deal is what really creeps you out personally.
Here goes --

NEW ORLEANS: The French Quarter and Environs. Start at Marie Laveau’s House of Voodoo. Okay, the store has become commercial for sure. But buy a voodoo doll or an alligator’s claw and then start walking The Quarter. You will find nooks & crannies that will chill you for sure. There’s a lot going on and if you are in tune with the spirits, they will lead you to some serious spiritual scenes. A lot of the misunderstood artists, musicians and folks that died there didn’t leave!

And New Orleans has a ton of Graveyards & Cemeteries. Check them all out. This town IS Halloween. Be sure to read Anne Rice or Anton LaVey

(that creepy Church of Satan guy) or something spooky before you head there. Evan would suggest Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire.  Dweeb.

The Haunted Mortuary. Hey, it’s a mortuary surrounded by cemeteries with all those above ground tombs. Bottom line? This Event Rocks!

ST. FRANCISVILLE, LA.: It’s one of those gorgeous, antebellum Southern Towns. It’s also the home of The Myrtles – the most haunted bed & breakfast in America.

Probably because the ghosts that dwell there are based on horrible acts of revenge. I get freaked out even thinking about it. Google it, man.

LOS ANGELES (my birthplace so I feel connected):

The Museum of Death. Okay, probably the most disturbing place I have ever been. I had nightmares for weeks after I visited the place. Mainly because every terrible thing you see in there is based on fact.

Then, shuffle on over to Hollywood Forever Memorial Park (6000 Santa Monica Blvd). Tons of stars buried in a time warp of a place.  The last time I was there a ton of locust type bugs attacked me. I’m serious!

SALEM, MASS.: Okay, I’ve been here numerous times for Halloween. It’s gotten commercial but again, even though it’s a marketed attraction now, it’s based on the real deal. I mean, Laurie Cabot, the Official Witch of Salem is still there workin’ it with her daughters Jody and Penny. Why? Because she’s a real witch, not a college kid in a costume! Aside from The Salem Witch Museum, Cabot’s shop, The Cat, The Claw & The Crown and a trillion creepy attractions, be sure to go to the top of Gallows Hill for the All Hallow’s Eve Witch Ceremony that celebrates Wicca, Salem’s historical past and the power of The Seasons.

Alright, that’s it for now. Headed out to see Paranormal Activity.

Get ready for our Halloween Show next week!

NOVEMBER 17TH will be the premiere of the documentary film, Embraceable You: a solid gold tribute to New Hope, Pa.

– a gem of a burg along the Delaware River, known for its diversity, artists, clubs, restaurants, characters, scenery, shops – you name it!

The Red Carpet Event starts at 6:30, at the famous Bucks County Playhouse, and tickets are flying off the shelf! The premiere is for the Embraceable You Project  -- a triple-header debut that includes the film, a CD and book!

Performers at the event include Christine Havrilla, Bob Egan, Lenore Troia, and Christine Martucci just to name a few! So follow the stars and head for the spotlights!

This entire Uber-Fabulous Project is produced by Up River Productions. I’ll fill you in on all the thrills after the event! Stay tuned and Visit New Hope! Any time, any season!

Tickets online @ www.upriverproductions.ticketleap.com

-Peace & Love, EVAN

Oh, man! Seems like New Hope, Bucks County & Philly are always super hoppin’ this time of year!

Okay, you can say it’s the leaves, scenery and cool shops, but, also know that this whole region is crammed with cool & creepy events!

Like, in New Hope alone there’s the Witches, Wenches & Vixens Pub Crawl, The Time Warp Masquerade Party, The Annual High Heeled Drag Race with Miss Pumpkin (bring cameras folks…), A Halloween Street Fair – and, of course, there’s always the New Hope Ghost Tour and Haunted Logan Inn!

And if you really wanna get creeped out, visit Tear Drop Memories. That’s where Evan shops for his all those disturbing gifts for his scores of twisted friends.

Any questions now, gang, why I live here????

And that Philly Poe Guy in this weeks episode (nice ZZ Top beard, dude...)?

He’s one of the creepy oddballs behind the Brat Productions’ Haunted Poe Event that’s going on in Philly. I went this weekend and it was 100% Spooktacular, especially if you’re a Poe Freak like me.

Oh, and as for the film Zombieland with Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson? Woooo-hooooo! Might have to buy it for my Zombie Collection!

Stay tuned for more of the Bizarre & Twisted all through October. I’m on a (contaminated) roll!

Oh, man! Looks like talking dogs are on a roll!

BREAKING NEWS! In a cool attempt to change the depressing public image of animal shelters, a new campaign called The Shelter Pet Project is gonna rebrand shelters by giving shelter animals a voice—a human voice. AWESOME! The goal of the campaign is to get pet lovers to make shelters their first choice when they decide they want to add another hambone to their family. Look for the ads on TV and the Radio and spread the word!

Speaking of great shelters, the Bucks County SPCA is primo when it comes to looking out four us four-leggeds!  Check out their cool site and donate to a shelter near you!

Man, I was sniffin’ around the cool streets of Philly not long ago and strolled into the PA Wine & Spirits Store. That Dan Aykroyd guy from Saturday Night Live a trillion years ago was sitting there signing bottles of his new Crystal Head Vodka. Now, I’m not a vodka guy (give me a Yuengling with a mound of wings!), but this stuff came in a glass skull – just in time for Halloween!

I went to the cool New Hope Arts & Crafts Fair this weekend and just as I was settling into a hefty bag of that popcorn with molasses all over it, I see Scary Uncle Jonathan signing books in front of Farley’s Bookstore. His book, Patient Zero is selling like bat’s in Carlsbad Caverns. I still think say the guy is a lot like the subject matter in his books: Contaminated! Stay tuned on that!

On that note, headed out to see Zombieland tonight with the guys. I like that Jesse Eisenberg guy and Woody Harrelson. Gonna stop at the (Haunted) Pineville Tavern on the way back for, you got it, wings!
