Mid Week Update

Whelp, I'm back from a mini vacation up at my parents' house for my birthday, and I'm ready to dive back into the Countdown!

We Came Here to Burgle Your Turts!

I discovered the miniseries Over the Garden Wall last year before Halloween, and it quickly became a fall favorite. I've watched it more than once in the past week. It's an excellent story of two half brothers lost in a mysterious wood and trying to find their way home. A nice mix of fun and creepiness, all wrapped up with a bow of nostalgia. It's ten "chapters", each one being around ten minutes long. The first chapter is available on YouTube:

... but I highly recommend finding a copy yourself, since commercials can really take you out of it (especially children's commercials), and the last Cartoon Network showing I saw left a few plot points/side stories out.

I will note though, there is a claim of a blu-ray version floating around, but that is NOT true. Over the Garden Wall is only available on DVD and digital. I, myself, have the digital version.

Has anyone else seen this little gem? What did you think?

While I don't agree with every choice, the early movies are nice + a few I haven't seen.

Quite The Rainy Day Today

And I'm in the mood for some moody, gothy music.

Anyone have some more recommendations for me?
