Howdy there, Scream Freaks! What has two thumbs and just won themselves a Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award? Screaming Soup! Presents the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes Retrospective, that’s what!

Yee-haw! We did it!! After all these years, we finally snagged ourselves one of the toughest, most sought after awards in the horror community, and it’s all thanks to y’all. Seriously — without yer votes and help wranglin’ in others’ support, there’s no way we could have taken home the award fer Best Documentary of 2023!

This recognition means more to us than we can express. With Svengoolie practically dominatin’ the Favorite Horror Host category since the Rondo’s earliest days, we had to get creative with other ways fer obtainin’ one of these coveted busts of undeniable achievement, and we still can’t believe it paid off. Skewin’ our sights fer horror host gold toward other categories we could be represented in, we felt we had a fightin’ chance in Best Documentary with our be-all end-all retrospective on the Killer Tomatoes franchise, and that gut instinct luckily proved to be more than just ingestion.

While it ain’t specifically “the” Rondo fer horror hostin’, we still see it as a horror host win, ’cause the documentary’s presented in that format with us front and center through the whole shebang, animated shenanigans and all. Yessir, whatever shade of gray ya paint it, no one can deny we’re in the club now, and we’re proudly checkin’ this sucker off our bucket list!

Shout out to all our amigos and their Rondo achievements this year — Mr. Lobo and Mummy and the Monkey’s Honorable Mention fer Favorite Horror Host, Dinosaur Dracula’s Honorable Mention fer Best Website, Jessica Dwyer’s Honorable Mention fer Best Interview, and Movie Dumpster’s Runner-up fer Best Podcast. Congrats, partners!

Aside from all the latest awards, big stuff has been happenin’ behind the scenes as we steadily bring our next episode together. While animatin’ a noodle ticklin’ encounter with the mummy as Count Ted‘s next monstrous addition to his gang, we’ve been workin’ with a fang-tastic journalist wantin’ to feature Screaming Soup! in an upcomin’ issue of Lost Anarchy Magazine (more on that soon) and dippin’ our toes into the adult collectibles market as freelance concept artists fer an up and coming company specializing in the manufacturing of pop culture related collectibles. So, busy in the best way as usual, and we’ll have lots more to share on those updates in future posts as they ‘come further ‘long in their progress.

Other than that, please show your support for our show with donations through Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, and Ko-fi, purchase exclusive merch, catch up on all past Screaming Soup! Seasons, check out this week’s Howl’n Hottie, read recent bite-size reviews for the newer horror films we’re checkin’ out in our blog R-Rated Reviews, and help us get the word out about the web’s #1 animated horror host show! Please use our social buttons in the upper right corner of the site and follow our tweets (are they still called that?), subscribe to our video channels, like our Facebook, watch and share all our vids, and keep that fan mail comin’. You can also warm up some Screaming Soup! leftovers with reruns currently playin’ on Beta Max TV, Sluggo’s The Vortexx, and Mr. Lobo‘s OSI 74 .

See ya later, Scream Freaks!

SCREAMING AT HALLOWEEN PARTY MUSIC!

Howdy there, Scream Freaks! Halloween’s still creepin’ up ’round the corner, but with this bein’ the last weekend of October, it’s high party time for all us spooks and ghouls ready to blow this holiday out! Trick ‘r treatin’ will still be reserved for the true calendar date of course, but the majority of us are ready to get the good times rollin’ with rowdy get-togethers full of costumed creeps, fright flicks, gross out grub, and most importantly — hauntin’ tunes that’ll rock ya to the bone!

Yessir, music ain’t our strongest area of trivia, but we sure as shootin’ love it, and that’s why we took it upon ourselves to compile what we consider the best playlist of horror related tunes to jam out to this Halloween. A nice mix of upbeat tracks with pops of mellow melodies to break it up, our list is comprised of over 300 songs we’ve hunted down over the years, all which have somethin’ to do with horror. Songs from all grades of horror movie soundtracks, ditties with dark lyrics, and terrifyin’ tunes sung by monstrous musicians we enjoy listenin’ to on a daily basis at the Howl-Inn Grub & Spirits.

Now, ‘fore ya say anythin’, we admit we omitted some mainstream classics like “This is Halloween” from The Nightmare Before Christmas, Sheb Wooley’s “Purple People Eater,” ‘long with fan favorite themes from Psycho, Halloween, and Tales From the Crypt. Not ’cause we forgot ’bout ’em, mind ya! This list was primarily made for our own entertainment as stuff we’d enjoy at a party, and those beats (as much as we like ’em) just aren’t things we wanna hear after a double play of Metallica or Alice Cooper ’cause they’re more ’bout buildin’ forebodin’ atmosphere versus lively fun. But hey, if that rocks yer boat the wrong way, than we encourage ya to use our playlist as a launchin’ pad for creatin’ your own mix of jack-o-lantern jams.
