Bede Vs. The Living Dead Episode 91 - Elvira's MTV Halloween Party (1984)... The Mistress Of The Dark's Special That Screened NOTLD In Full
Welcome to episode 91 of Bede Vs. The Living Dead. What a minute. An episode on a Saturday instead of a Sunday? Why is this? Well, your host Bede Jermyn has a very good reason for that. Today is October 31st, which is Halloween! After a fanatsic and epic month of releasing so many episodes from across many shows on The BVTLD Network, Bede wanted to end it with something Halloween related in honour of it. For this episode, Bede takes a look a 5 hour long 1984 Halloween special from MTV that was hosted by Elvira, the Mistress of the Dark herself, which also just happens to screen the entirety of the original Night Of The Living Dead in full as part of it: Elvira's MTV Halloween Party. Joining Bede to discuss Elvira's first major spooy special for MTV are returning guests John Doucette (host of Smash Trivia Presents: The Gamma Analysis), Tamika Jones & Derek Anderson (co-hosts of DailyDead.com's podcast Corpse Club) and first-time guest James Vegas (co-host of Fantasy Football Avengers). Highlights include how Elvira's MTV Halloween Party was James's introduction finally seeing Night Of The Living Dead, everyone sharing their love of Elvira, why the special made Bede nostalgic, John's mixed feelings on the music videos, which legendary horror filmmaker directed Billy Idol's Dancing With Myself music video?, Oingo Boingo's problematic song and music video, praising NOTLD being shown entirely in the special, and so much more.
