We got a week until Halloween and I am proud to have been the one to kick off the celibrations here at CKLU.

I love Halloween. It’s one of the most fun holidays going. True that it is looked at mainly as a time to be scared (wich is nice) I see it as more as a time to let out your creativity and imagination.

What other hollidya lets you become something other and get free candy from strangers.

If your looking for a scare for the whole family here is a top 10 list of spooky movies from the List Universe that wont keep you up defending the house from nightmears.

10 Hocus Pocus

1993

More than 300 years ago, 3 witches were sentenced to die in Salem, Massachusetts and a boy was turned into a cat (a black cat, naturally). Now it’s Halloween, and the witches (who fly on - I kid you not - vacuum cleaners) are back. This time, they’ve got their eyes on immortal life and have turned their wrath on trick-or-treaters and it’s up to the 300-year-old cat to save the day.

9. Corpse Bride

2005

When an arranged marriage between Victor Van Dort and Victoria Everglot reaches the rehearsals, Victor starts to worry. Spending time alone in the forest, Victor decides to practice on his own. Everything seems to go well, until he accidentally puts the ring upon the hand of a corpse. Before he knows it, Victor is in the land of dead and now has a corpse bride. Whilst everyone’s worries about who Victoria will marry in the land of the living, Victor desperately finds a way to get back.

8. Casper

1995

Furious that her late father only willed her his gloomy-looking mansion rather than his millions, Carrigan Crittenden (Moriarty) is ready to burn the place to the ground when she discovers a map to a treasure hidden in the house. But when she enters the rickety mansion to seek her claim, she is frightened away by a wicked wave of ghosts. Determined to get her hands on this hidden fortune, she hires afterlife therapist Dr. James Harvey (Pullman) to exorcise the ghosts from the mansion. Harvey and his daugh- ter Kat (Ricci) move in, and soon Kat meets Casper, the ghost of a young boy who’s “the friendliest ghost you know.”

7 Monsters, Inc.

2001

In a land of monsters, James P. Sullivan is king. He and his coworker/ friend Mike Wazowski are two of many monsters that work for Monsters Inc. a utility company that generates power for a very paranoid and nervous city of monsters. This power, oddly enough, is generated from the screams of children, which is produced by scaring them in their sleep. One night, however, Sully uncovers a devious plot to rid Monster city of it’s power problems, but in all the wrong ways. Together, ironically, Sully and Mike will fight to protect the innocence of the children they scare every night.

6. The Witches

1990

A young boy, recently orphaned, is taken to England by his grandmother. At a hotel in which they are staying, a group of witches have gathered to prepare a plot to rid the world of all children. This movie is based on the wonderful book by Roald Dahl and stars Anjelica Huston and Rown Atkinson. This is a film that the kids will definitely love. This film was produced by Jim Henson.

5. Something Wicked This Way Comes

1983

In a small anywhere town in any state in America, two young boys- quiet Will Halloway and somewhat rebellious Jim Nightshade-enjoy the ever-shortening days of autumn. When the boys hear about a strange traveling carnival from a lightning rod salesman, they decide to see what it is all about-but Will is fearful, as most carnivals end their tours after Labor Day. When the ominous Mr. Dark, the Illustrated Man, rides into town on a dark midnight, setting up his massive carnival in a matter of seconds, the boys are both thrilled and terrified. A great film by Ray Bradbury.

4. Pufnstuf

1970

Originally a television program, the Pufnstuf film was a real gem and has outlived the series. One of the best things about this film is that it stars Mama Cass (Cass Elliot) from the Mamas and the Papas, as Witch Hazel. The show and the film were both notable for bright colors, fast edits, sped-up film, musical segments and pop culture in-jokes, and appealed to young adults almost as much as children. Central to the film is young Jimmy and his magic flute, and a group of wicked witches who want to capture the flute for themselves. The series and movie are named after one other important character, a friendly dragon.

3. The Nightmare Before Christmas

1993

Jack Skellington, the pumpkin king of Halloween Town, is bored with doing the same thing every year for Halloween. One day he stumbles into Christmas Town, and is so taken with the idea of Christmas that he tries to get the resident bats, ghouls, and goblins of Halloween town to help him put on Christmas instead of Halloween — but alas, they can’t get it quite right.

2. Beetle Juice

1988

After Barbara and Adam Maitland were killed in a car crash, they find themselves trapped as ghosts in their beautiful New England farmhouse. Their peace is disrupted when a yuppie family, the Deetzs, buy their house. The Maitlands are too nice and harmless as ghosts and all their efforts to scare the Deetzs away were unsuccessful. They eventually turn to another ghost ‘Beetlejuice’ for help…

1. Ghost Busters

1988

Three odd-ball scientists get kicked out of their cushy positions at a university in New York City where they studied the occult. They decide to set up shop in an old firehouse and become Ghostbusters, trapping pesky ghosts, spirits, haunts, and poltergeists for money. They wise-crack their way through the city, and stumble upon a gateway to another dimension, one which will release untold evil upon the city. The Ghostbusters are called on to save the Big Apple. This film is a timeless cult classic.

I also gave a shout out to two scare shows here in the greater Sudbury area. First off Northern Frights set up a hunted Mall at the food court of the Rainbow center downtown. I checked it out a few day ago and it’s freaky and once again the Big Nickel Mine has there haunted cavern at Dynamic Earth. I went to it last year and loved every freaky minute. It’s scary enough going eight miles under the ground. Ad people in fright masks jumping out of the dark t me and you have a definite bring spare undies situation on your hands.

So your homework for this week is to get the ol’ grey cells working and start your planning for this Friday.

Until next time

Have fun

And take care of each other.

It was a busy day today. We had a staff meeting at work today so to both attend the meeting and entertain you all I rented a car, props to the guys at Rent a Wreck for the great deal they gave me though. I am really glad that they opened up a shop in town. I can/t afford a vehicle but on times when I really need one it’s nice that we have a place where I can get a good car at the cheep.

Started off the show with part two of Sherlock Homes vs. Dracula. This was a great find. Not just the story but the music and the sound FX made this a very eerie and compelling listen. I did a bit of research and found that; aside from the graphic novel I talk aboaut last week, there was only a few books with Homes and Drack. The best known was written in 1978 by Loren D Eateman called Sherlock Homes vs. Dracula or the Case of the Sanguinary Count. There was a rumor that Hammer films were going to make it into a movie, but nothing came of it which I think is a shame. That would have been so cool.

I hope you all had a great Sweetness Day. What? You never heard of Sweetness Day? Well neither had I until recently. It’s a holiday in the northern US for people to get together and give sweets to the underprivileged. in there community. This is a great idea. It’s a way of saying that every one is important, no matter what their station in the community is.

Tune in next Saturday for my Halloween Show. It’s going to be really Spooky.

I Usually play more then 15 tracts but today as a busy day.
First off my Morning drama was longer then usual. My starting drama a half hour show at the beginning of my show but SH v. D ran 45 min, but come on, it’ Sherlock Homes and Dracula together! I had to play it. While I was traveling I found a Graphic called Scarlet by Gaslight, witch was Homes and Drack. It was a great story but different from the drama I’m playing. The show takes place along with what happened in the book, while S by G happened after what happened in the book. Also in the Drama Sherlock is quick to acknowledge who and what his adversary is and Watson is the doubter, while in the S by G , Watson quickly accepts that Drac is a Vampire while Homes as a (temporary) break down when he confronts Drac.

Second, as per my want I like to research holidays that are coming up in the week so I gave a brief history of Canadian Thanksgiving.
Did you know . . .

Thanksgiving is a statuary Holiday in all of Canada except New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island.

The fist Thanksgiving was in 1578 held by explorer Martin Frobisher. (Even though it celebration of thanks have been held by various First Nations groups for centuries)

Thanksgiving was made Official on January 31 1957.

No? Well now you do.

I was also reminding people about the election on Tuesday. I’m looking forward to it. The only problem is I’m not sure where to vote. I’m sure I’ll figure it out.
Finaly I spent a good bulk of the show telling light bulb jokes. At Word on the street I picked up a book called Light Bulb 101 by Todd Vercoe. It’s over 4800 Light bulb jokes that he has collected from around the world.

How many radio general managers does it take to change a light bulb?

“It’s not in the budget. Work in the dark”

How many Oldies Radio program directors does it take to change a light bulb?

Three: One to change the bulb, and two to reminisce about the old one.

How many radio jocks does it take to change a light bulb?

“We had a light bulb in here”

And of core I had to have one for each of the parties.

How many Conservative Party members does it take to change a light bulb?

Any number: They’re all really good at screwing up.

How many Green Party members does it take to change a light bulb?

None: They use light bulbs that never burn out, so they don’t know how.

How many Liberal Party members does it take to change a light bulb?

It depends on how many of their friends are electrical engineers

How many NDP members does it take to change a light bulb?

None: They use candles because it creates more work.

How many honest politicians does it take to change a light bulb?

When we find one we’ll let you know.

So there we go here is my first official Blog. Not that bad is it. Leave a comment and let me know.

Starting this thing off now.

Hey there.





Welcome to my little piece of the net.





I've been broadcasting on CKLU here in Sudbury for quite some time and I thought it would be good to have some place for people to come to learn a bit more about some the interviews I do , tracts I play, or interesting things I find out.



My plan is to post at the beginning of the week about the Saturday show.


I'm new to this so be patient with me it should get better over time.
