Happy Halloween, dear readers! For today's Friday Afternoon Video, we're taking a trip down memory lane back to one of our fondest Halloween memories from our youth: dressing up like a demented French maid and singing along -- loudly -- at midnight showings of Rocky Horror Picture Show.
You know how to do the Time Warp, don't you? It's just a jump to the left...
Want to do the real thing and catch a midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show tonight? Then grab your buttered toast and head on down to the Landmark River Oaks Theatre on West Gray for a very special Halloween showing and sing-along.
And, in keeping with the holiday, there's a special treat for you after the jump...
We had originally planned on treating you to the entirety of Michael Jackson's iconic video for "Thriller," one of the other Halloween traditions of our youth. But the bastiges over at YouTube tricked us by making embedding disabled on all versions of the video. We're no fancy HTML gurus, either, so we gave up and decided that a little dose of some sweet transvestites was better for your soul anyway.
In the meantime, you can still watch the original version of "Thriller" here, but wouldn't you rather watch 1,500 Filipino prison inmates (and one questionable Filipino crossdresser) perform it instead?
We thought so.
Wanna learn the dance yourself, so you can embarrass your friends at their next house party? Horrify wedding guests at an otherwise classy reception? Channel your inner Jennifer Garner at the next cocktail hour you attend? Don't say we never taught you nothin':
...for no mere mortal can resist the evil of the Thriller!
