A chill runs down your spine. Your blood runs cold. You feel something behind you, watching. You slowly turn your head and see….A BIG PLASTIC PUMPKIN! That can only mean that our fated Halloween Spooktacular has officially begun! We have six horror movie favorites coming your way, starting with John Carpenter’s mind-bending In the Mouth of Madness. The film follows John Trent, an insurance claims investigator, on an assignment to find the final manuscript of Sutter Cane. Cane is a prolific horror author whose works are rumored to drive people to madness. Trent’s search leads him to the town of Hobb’s End, which has seemingly popped up out of nowhere to match the setting of Cane’s books. All sorts of supernatural horrors spread out from the church wherein Sutter Cane does his writing. Is there a logical explanation for all of this? Or is reality truly becoming stranger than fiction? Find out today on this page-turning episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

Feel that rumbling and rolling, as Sinister Six continues with a Jurassic journey. When all you have is a quickly written script, a dream and an animatronic T- Rex you have to make a movie. Tammy and the T-Rex (1994) gives us a romance for the ages, starring Denise Richards and Paul Walker in their film debuts. With crazy bullies, a mad scientist, big jungle cats, and plenty of gore, will this one finally provide the extinction of Dan Ryan? All Jonathan can do is promise this film will be Dino-myte!!! Dan why are you giving me that look?

The latest installment of Sinister Six warps down to Earth as we suffer through 1992’s Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe. Jesse “The Body” Ventura plays the titular intergalactic cop, who chases the evil Secundus across the stars to New York or Canada or Minnesota. Secundus has returned to our world to find his genetically-engineered son Tommy, who he hopes will enable him to solve the Anti-Life Equation (not the one from the Snyder Cut) and gain absolute power. Abraxas and Sonia, Tommy’s mother, quickly form a connection as they fight to foil Secundus’ plan (which involves repeatedly pushing people aside and stealing their cars). Like any good 90’s B-movie, it all builds to an epic confrontation in an abandoned factory. Abraxas and Secundus will do battle once more to decide the fate of the universe or Canada or New York or Minnesota, we don’t know. Make sure you iron your jeans and pack plenty of PEPSI products for today’s vaulted/faulted/balded episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

We're proud to unveil the first installment of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake: Midnight Run! In this Toonami-centric format, we take to the stars to enjoy a few anime classics from that beloved programming block. The first series to be showcased are none other than The Big O and Outlaw Star, which you may (hopefully) remember from our Pizza Party Preview event. In The Big O, Roger the Negotiator solves mysteries and fights titanic threats alongside the titular Megadeus. The Big O is not the only mechanical marvel hidden within Paradigm City, which experience a mass amnesia event 40 years before the present day. In Outlaw Star, Gene Starwind and his friends take flight to find the Galactic Leyline and the treasure hidden there. Such a quest requires an extraordinary starship, one that Pirates and Outlaws alike are ready to kill for. Remember to secure your electric eels and ready a few paintballs for today's extra-nostalgic episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake anticipates the splendor and the magic of the fast-approaching Millenium Comet. That's right, its time to make a wish as we watch Pokémon: Jirachi, Wish Maker while continuing our Pokémon movie rewatch journey. When the mysterious Jiriachi awakens from a 1,000 year slumber it is up to Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Brock, and Max to prove that their friendship can stand the test of time. And what of the dazzling stage magic, provided by the mysterious Butler and the lovely Diane? I sure hope there isn't some kind of eldritch Team Magma tie in to awaken a Groudon effigy? Anyway, while Jonathan is making a wish every night of the week, Dan is more concerned with the Pokémon themed carnival rides...

Another helping of high fantasy is heading your way with both Delicious in Dungeon and Record of Lodoss War. As Laios and his friends venture deeper into the dungeon, good nutrition will be harder to come by. Luckily, Senshi knows a few golems who are good for growing fresh veggies. Another party led by Kabru gets the spotlight for a moment, but they soon fall victim to some bite-sized treasure insects. Laios ventures into some Living Paintings to see if he can grab some takeout, but a mysterious figure grabs him instead. Back in Lodoss, the party finally meets the elf Deedlit. They are soon captured by the soldiers from Alania, who are quickly defeated in-turn by Marmo invaders. The Kingdom of Valis now remains as the last bulwark against Emperor Beld and his forces. A Black Knight arrives, a Princess is captured, and an immense dragon stirs as Parn and his friends fight for answers. Remember to pack some sanctified sorbet and be mindful of mimics for today's freshly baked episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

Beware Anime Was (Not) A Mistake fans, a fully evolved Neopets dragon lurks within this episode. As we continue our long-lived trek with Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, we can learn what happens when a singular Dan Ryan is exposed to a party of Jonathans. With a whole past behind her Frieren is beginning to learn, experience, and recall how her past party might influence her experience lugging a couple of teens around the world. Angst isnt all its cracked up to be and when some demons are thrown into the mix, magic might be the only way to solve some sort of problems. Also, its someone's birthday and what better way to celebrate than with a Jumbo Berry Surprise? Weebs and Wyrms? Eventually I will get it, I swear...
