🧛🌙 **Get Ready for Starlight Monster Movie Madness: *In A Lonely Place* This Saturday Night!** 🌙🧛

Image
Monstrous movie buffs, get your calendars out and save the date! This Saturday at precisely **10:45 pm**, Starlight Monster Movie Madness is back with a film that’s as chilling as it is timeless: **In A Lonely Place** (1950). You’ve heard of film noir, but this is film noir with a twist – starring the one and only Humphrey Bogart in one of his darkest, most complex roles. Don’t miss out on the live chat where you can gossip, scream, and share all the thrills with fellow fans! 👻💬🕵️‍♂️ **Why You Can’t Miss *In A Lonely Place* 🎬💔** via GIPHY Let’s be honest, when Bogart isn’t busy being a rogue, he’s… well, still being a rogue. But here, he’s Dixon Steele, a Hollywood screenwriter with a serious temper – and maybe even a murderous streak. 🍷🔪 It’s a movie that blends romance, suspense, and enough dark alleys to keep you wondering who’s trustworthy and who’s just out of their mind. Director Nicholas Ray delivers a psychological thriller that holds up to this day, and watching i

**🌙🧛‍♂️ Coconutdaddy’s Spooktober Pick: *Nightbreed: Director's Cut [Broadcast Edit]* (1990) – Monsters, Misfits, and a Lot of Studio Meddling 🧛‍♂️🌙**

Image
So, we’ve arrived at this year’s Spooktober "special" pick from Coconutdaddy – *Nightbreed: Director's Cut [Broadcast Edit].* Let’s just say if you thought regular *Nightbreed* was wild, then you’ve got another thing coming with the Director’s Cut and its *Broadcast Edit*. It’s like Clive Barker and the network executives got together to throw a party, and no one could agree on the guest list! 🎉🤡 This is a movie where monsters, weirdos, and unsung heroes come together in a labyrinthine underworld called *Midian* – which sounds like the afterlife's discount basement. But don’t let the funhouse of creatures fool you; this is Barker’s attempt at an epic tale of good, evil, and, well, monsters with personality. Think of it as a *Freaks* meets *Star Wars*, but with 90s practical effects and a plot that’s more tangled than your old cassette tapes. 📼🕸️ **The Plot – Love, Murder, and a Secret Monster Society in the Basement 🏚️💔** Our main guy, Boone (Craig Sheffer

**🕰️👻 Coconutdaddy’s Spooktober Pick: *Waxwork II: Lost in Time* (1992) – Because Nothing Says "Sequel" Like Time Travel and Bad Puns 👻🕰️**

Image
So, Coconutdaddy has brought us a *real gem* for Spooktober this year – *Waxwork II: Lost in Time,* a movie so proudly bonkers it makes your aunt’s holiday fruitcake look like a Michelin-starred dessert. 🎂 This one’s for the folks who like their horror with a side of goofy humor and a main course of “What the heck is even happening?” 🤔 We’re talking about a film that starts with wax figures coming to life and ends up tumbling through time with no logic in sight. It’s like *Bill & Ted* but with monsters, less Keanu, and zero excuses. Because apparently, nothing quite screams “follow-up horror” like time travel, ghostly arm wrestling, and a medieval jousting sequence. 🙄⚔️ **The Plot – Time-Traveling Horror’s Greatest Missed Opportunity** ⏳👀** For those who missed the first *Waxwork* (good news – you didn’t miss much), here’s the scoop. We follow Mark (Zach Galligan of *Gremlins* fame) and Sarah as they barely escape the waxy nightmares of part one. But wait! Sarah’s got a haunte

**👽🥒 Coconutdaddy’s Spooktober Pick: *Invasion of the Body Snatchers* (1978) – Where Paranoia Meets Pod People 🥒👽**

Image
Ah, *Invasion of the Body Snatchers* – a tale as old as time: just another ordinary day in San Francisco, until your best friend’s suddenly got dead eyes and zero personality. No, it’s not a tech startup convention – it’s the 1978 remake of the sci-fi classic, and Coconutdaddy is serving up this paranoid fever dream for your Spooktober fix. This isn’t your typical alien invasion flick – there’s no laser guns or green Martians, just some unsettling plants that want to replace every single person with a boring, soulless clone. Sounds like my last blind date. 🙄👥 **The Plot – Invasion of the Salad Bar 🌿🥒** So, you’ve got Matthew Bennell, a health inspector who discovers that people around him are being replaced by emotionless doppelgängers. How does he figure it out? Well, it’s 70s San Francisco, so naturally, his botanist friend finds a weird new plant and thinks, “This is totally normal, right?” Spoiler: it’s not normal. In fact, it’s a whole alien ecosystem taking over human m

**🧟‍♂️💀 Coconutdaddy’s Spooktober Pick: *Return of the Living Dead Part II* (1988) – Zombies Are Back...and They’re Hungry for Laughs! 🧟‍♀️💀**

Image
Oh, *Return of the Living Dead Part II,* where the brain-munching dead meet 80s camp and comedy. If the first movie wasn’t ridiculous enough for you, then you’re in for a treat. This sequel amps up the absurdity, swaps out any real scares for a heap of slapstick humor, and serves it up with enough neon green ooze to make a Ninja Turtle jealous. It's like a zombie movie made by someone who’s a little too hopped up on 80s pop culture and didn't get the memo that these movies are supposed to be scary. 🙄🍿 **The Plot – Zombies 2.0: Electric Boogaloo** 🧟‍♂️⚡ Picture this: It’s 1988, and the U.S. military, in all its infinite wisdom, has once again lost a few barrels of zombie juice. Some kids stumble upon one of these barrels in a graveyard, because of course, that’s exactly where the military would leave it. 🤦‍♂️ So, the barrel pops open, and before you can say "brains," we’re back in zombie-infested suburbia with shambling corpses rising up for another bite at humanit

**🚗💨 Coconutdaddy’s Spooktober Pick: *The Wraith* (1986) – When Revenge Looks Like a Dodge M4S Turbo Interceptor 🚗⚡**

Image
Ah, *The Wraith,* the movie that makes you think, “If I come back from the dead, I’m definitely doing it with a car upgrade.” We’ve got revenge, fast cars, Charlie Sheen, and a neon-lit 80s small town that has a shockingly high tolerance for random drag races. This movie is part ghost story, part action flick, and part car commercial, and somehow, it *works*. Who knew that you could take a movie plot that sounds like the fever dream of a kid obsessed with Hot Wheels and turn it into pure 80s magic? 😎🔥 **The Plot – Vroom Vroom Vengeance** 🏎️💀 The plot is simple yet glorious. Charlie Sheen plays Jake, a mysterious guy who rolls into town with some heavy-duty horsepower and a serious vendetta against the local street gang. The gang, led by Packard Walsh (Nick Cassavetes), has made a business of challenging people to dangerous races, stealing their cars, and, oh yeah, murdering innocent kids. Classic teen antics, right? Enter Jake’s alter-ego, *The Wraith,* a high-tech ghost race

**🌽👹 Coconutdaddy’s Spooktober Pick: *Children of the Corn* (1984) – Beware the Corn, and Whatever’s Lurking Inside It 🌽🔪**

Image
Ah, *Children of the Corn.* It’s that movie where a group of scary little kids somehow convinced all of us that, yes, cornfields are absolutely terrifying. Seriously, who knew a bunch of crop-worshipping kids in Amish outfits could turn one of our most beloved vegetables into a nightmare? And what’s worse, these kids aren’t just playing around with scarecrows and pumpkins—they’ve got a taste for blood. 😳🌾 **Plot Summary – The Horrors of Gatlin, Nebraska** 🌽😱 We’re in rural Nebraska, and if you didn’t already associate small towns with creepy cults, *Children of the Corn* is here to seal the deal. Burt (Peter Horton) and Vicky (Linda Hamilton) are a nice couple just passing through, probably regretting every moment of their decision to drive through a cornfield-laden wasteland. They stumble upon the tiny town of Gatlin, where all the adults have mysteriously disappeared, and the kids have taken over—led by none other than their pint-sized demonic preacher, Isaac. 👶👹 So, what

**👻🎬 Coconutdaddy’s Spooktober Pick: *The Exorcist III: Legion* (Director’s Cut) – A Spine-Tingling Return to the Darkness 🌒💀**

Image
Alright, horror fans, buckle up and prepare for a spooky trip back to the Georgetown of *The Exorcist*—because we’re about to dive into *The Exorcist III: Legion,* aka “The Sequel We All Pretend is the Real Sequel.” And I don’t blame you for forgetting *Exorcist II: The Heretic,* because… yeah, we all want to forget *that* fever dream. 😅🙈 But this one? This one’s got the chills, the thrills, and the good ol’ demonic spills! 👹💧 **Plot Summary – The Return of Detective Kinderman (and Something Much Darker)** 🌒👮‍♂️ Set 15 years after the whole head-spinning, pea-soup-spewing drama of the original *Exorcist,* we find Detective Kinderman, back on the beat and grappling with a series of truly grisly murders. It’s Georgetown, so naturally, you can’t go three blocks without bumping into a gruesome, sacrilegious crime scene. Enter: a series of murders with a demonic twist, so dark it’ll make you want to grab a crucifix and call it a day. 🪦😨 See, Kinderman’s got an old pal—well, ha

**🎬 Coconutdaddy’s Spooktober Pick: Critters 2 – The Great Egg-scapade! 🥚👾**

Image
Ah, *Critters 2: The Main Course.* Just when you thought it was safe to move back to Grover’s Bend, these fluffy little nightmare furballs roll back into town—bigger, badder, and with a monstrous appetite for anything in their way. If you’re looking for a movie that’s equal parts horror, humor, and mayhem, *Critters 2* is ready to satisfy your craving for the weird and ridiculous! 🍔👹 **The Plot (Or: Alien Eggs Make the Worst Easter Gifts)** The story kicks off with young Bradley Brown (Scott Grimes) returning to his hometown after the events of the first *Critters.* What’s supposed to be a peaceful Easter holiday quickly turns into a sci-fi freak show when someone finds a stash of Critter eggs, mistaking them for, you guessed it, Easter eggs! 🥚🐰 Nothing says “family holiday” quite like carnivorous aliens hatching out of your decorative basket and wreaking havoc on the entire town. These pint-sized alien beasts are ready to chow down on anything and everything in their path, f

**Robinhood’s New Transformation: From Meme Stock Mayhem to Wealth Management Wizardry** 📈🧙‍♂️📊

Image
It looks like Robinhood (HOOD) is all grown up and ready to put on a suit and tie! Once known as the platform where users went for the wild ride of meme stock mania, Robinhood is evolving into a full-fledged wealth management service. And in the words of Robinhood itself: this is only the beginning. 🏹💼 ## The Big Reveal: Futures and Index Options 📲📉💹 via GIPHY Robinhood announced late Wednesday that it’s rolling out *futures* and *index options* trading soon, allowing users to dive into the deep end of the trading pool. That’s right, we’re moving from “buy the dip” on meme stocks to “bull or bear futures” on the app. With this upgrade, Robinhood isn’t just catering to retail investors; it’s trying to attract those who have *read* the trading manual — and maybe even understand it! 🤓📚 Futures and index options are like the cool kids of the trading world. They offer investors a chance to predict market trends, make bolder bets, and, of course, sound smarter at cocktail partie

**Stephen Curry on Andrew Wiggins’ Fit with the Warriors: “It’s All About Style, Baby”** 🏀😎💫

Image
When it comes to basketball, no one embodies “cool under pressure” quite like Stephen Curry. But at Tuesday’s shoot-around at T-Mobile Arena, even the unflappable Curry seemed to get just a bit contemplative as he pondered a question about his teammate, Andrew Wiggins. And, well, when you’ve got the media pressing you for details on *style*, that’s when the Curry brain kicks into overdrive! 🧠💥 The question was as follows: **How does Wiggins fit into the Warriors' style of play, and what new superpowers can this unlock in his game?** 🦸‍♂️💪 Naturally, the Warriors’ superstar sat on the baseline, perched in a black chair like a wise sensei, ready to drop knowledge on us mere mortals.  ## The Curry Response 🗣️🎤 Curry took a moment, furrowing his brow just enough to give that, “I’m about to say something deep” look. You know the one. 🧐 Here’s what he had to say: **“Stylistically, Wiggins can fit right into what we’re doing. He’s got that athleticism, that bounce, that edge… You j

Image
Get your spooky season taste buds ready because Dunkin’ is rolling out its fang-tastic Halloween lineup starting this Wednesday! These new treats will only be available for a limited time, so you’d better grab them before they disappear like a ghost 👻💨. Here’s what you’ll find haunting the Dunkin’ menu this Halloween: ## 1. **Potion Macchiato** 🧪☕️💜 This drink is what happens when a mad scientist barista decides to mix layers of espresso, milk, and a vibrant, purple marshmallow ube flavor! Whether you like it hot or iced, it’s designed to wake up your taste buds and your Halloween spirit. It’s as if a potion master put it together with a dash of “What the heck is ube?!” 🔮💭 But trust us, it’s magical. ## 2. **Spider Specialty Donut** 🕷🍩👀 Beware of this creepy-crawly delight! It’s a donut that’s been all dressed up for Halloween with purple frosting and a *Glazed Chocolate Munchkins* donut hole on top. Dunkin’ went full arachnid here, with chocolate drizzle “legs” and white driz

**Surprise, Surprise! Social Security and SSI Recipients Might Get an Extra Check This November** 🎉💸📅

Image
If you’re a Social Security recipient, you might be in for a little treat this November! Yes, it’s almost like the government is getting into the holiday spirit early… but don’t go thinking you won the lottery just yet. This isn’t exactly “free money” — it’s more of a calendar quirk. So, here’s the scoop: Social Security beneficiaries who also receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will be getting a bit of a surprise in the form of **three checks in November** 🤑🎁📈. Why? Because the way the dates line up, you’ll receive two SSI payments, plus your regular Social Security check.  ## Wait, Why the Extra Checks? 🤔💭 You might be wondering if this is some kind of magical windfall. Well, not exactly. This is just the good ol' government playing around with the calendar. The reason you’re getting two SSI checks in November is because you’re **not getting any SSI in December** 🎅🎄⛔. It’s like the universe knew you’d want a little extra spending cash for Thanksgiving — or maybe the

**🎒 Coconutdaddy’s Spooktober Pick: The Faculty (1998)**

Image
Grab your letterman jackets and questionable 90s fashion choices, because Coconutdaddy’s Spooktober pick *The Faculty* (1998) is sending us back to high school! But this isn’t just any teen drama—nope, it’s aliens taking over a small-town school, turning the faculty into creepy, mind-controlled zombies. 🧠👽🏫 Let’s dive in and find out why this star-studded, sci-fi horror mash-up deserves a spot on your Spooktober watchlist! 🎬🍿 **The Plot (Or: Aliens Have Never Been So Fashion-Forward)** In the classic American small town of Herrington, Ohio, things are already pretty bleak. You’ve got all the stereotypes: the nerd, the jock, the goth, the new girl, and, of course, the perpetually angsty misfit who just needs a haircut. 💇‍♂️ But when the teachers start acting weirder than usual, our band of high school stereotypes realizes that they might be the only ones standing between humanity and a full-blown alien invasion. 😱👾  The faculty at Herrington High, led by Coach Willis (Robe

**👻 Coconutdaddy’s Spooktober Pick: The Haunting (1999)**

Image
Oh boy, buckle up, horror fans! This Spooktober, Coconutdaddy is serving us a heaping plate of haunted house tropes, 90s CGI, and enough melodrama to last a lifetime with *The Haunting* (1999). 🏰💀 If you’re into spooky mansions, questionable plot twists, and jump scares that don’t exactly land, then sit back and enjoy the show! 🎬😱 **The Plot (Or: How to Make House-Hunting More Terrifying Than a Mortgage)** The story kicks off with a group of strangers signing up for what they think is a harmless sleep study. Yeah, because nothing says “relaxing rest” like an ancient, sprawling mansion in the middle of nowhere. 🏚️😬 Dr. Marrow (Liam Neeson), our not-so-ethical scientist, has actually lured them in for a little fear experiment. His goal? To see how scared people can get in a real-life haunted house. The catch? Well, Hill House is very much haunted—and it’s not the kind of place to just sit back and let them test its spook-factor. It’s got ghosts, spirits, and a whole lot of un

**🎪 Coconutdaddy’s Spooktober Pick: Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)**

Instead, it’s home to an army of alien clowns with a taste for turning people into cotton candy cocoons. Yep, you read that right—these Klowns come fully equipped with ray guns that transform humans into sugary snack

**🎬 Coconutdaddy’s Spooktober Pick: Jeepers Creepers (2001)**

Image
Welcome to the dark, dusty, and distinctly creepy corridors of Coconutdaddy’s Spooktober picks! 👻 This time, we’re talking about *Jeepers Creepers* (2001), the movie that made us all question why we even bother with backroad shortcuts and curiosity, especially when there’s a creepy dude dumping bodies into a suspicious-looking pipe. 🚗💨💀 Let’s dive right in, folks, and hold on to your rearview mirrors—it’s about to get bumpy. 🛣️👀 **The Plot (Or: How to Make Every Bad Decision Ever)** So, meet Darry (Justin Long) and his sister Trish (Gina Philips), two siblings who have nothing better to do on a spring break drive through the middle of absolutely nowhere. They’re cruising along, minding their own business, when they spot a rusty old truck that clearly screams, “Stay away, I’ve got creepy written all over me.” 🛻📢 Naturally, our heroes decide to engage in a little road rage, leading to a close encounter with a creepy trucker who seems to really hate speed limits—and probably peopl

**🎬 Coconutdaddy’s Spooktober Pick: Wrong Turn (2003)**

Image
Welcome, dear horror fans, to yet another Coconutdaddy’s Spooktober special! 🎃 This time, we’re diving headfirst into *Wrong Turn* (2003), the movie that introduced us to a band of backwoods inbreds so terrifying they make your average horror hillbilly look like they belong on HGTV. Yep, grab some popcorn, because we’re headed deep into the West Virginia wilderness where GPS and good decisions go to die. 🌲🧭💀 **The Plot (AKA, Just Don’t Go in the Woods)** Imagine this: You’re on a road trip, you’ve got a crummy map, and no cell signal. What could possibly go wrong? Enter Chris Flynn (Desmond Harrington), whose biggest mistake is choosing a detour through a deserted dirt road, clearly marked “WRONG TURN” by the spooky ambiance. 🚗💨 Before you know it, he’s joined by a group of 20-somethings—Jessie, Carly, Scott, Francine, and Evan—each one more expendable than the last. 🎯 They stumble upon the standard horror movie cabin, and surprise, surprise, it’s full of knick-knacks like
