On this episode Chris and Joe once again dive into a subject they don’t discuss very often: horror movies. That’s right, in honor of Halloween coming up this weekend, the boys talk about some of their favorite horror films, what they like and don’t like about the genre and generally what scares them.
But, to be honest, they’re not experts on horror movies. Fortunately, they’ve brought in a very special guest to help: Scott Weinberg.
That’s right, noted film critic, podcaster, producer and horror film expert Scott Weinberg is on the show this week. So you know this episode is gonna be chock full of some spooky horror movie goodness (and badness). And that’s not all.
The trio also get back to their roots with discussions on their first horror movie experiences, the movies that made them fall in love with movies and why Scott loves horror movies so much. Plus, the usual more. In fact, much, much more.
It’s a great episode. Thanks for listening.

Yesterday, Activision gave the first detailed glimpse at Onslaught, the first DLC pack for Call of Duty: Ghosts. As has become the standard, the pack will include four regular multiplayer maps, one new weapon and one survival map, this time for the Extinction game mode. As you’ll see in the trailer after the break, the multiplayer levels are more goal oriented than ever before with a “reward” system that looks to really change the dynamic of each individual match.
The most exciting new map has to be Fog. A dark and spooky backwoods map with cabins and a barn, the real excitement comes from the completed field order which turns a player into Michael Meyers. Yes, from Halloween. When you’re Michael, you get armed with an axe… and his signature theme music. When you get close, your victim knows it’s coming and hear it before you take them out.

Welcome to this week’s On the Radar where we delve into all corners of the entertainment, tech and geek Internets for news, views and whatnot that may have escaped our regular coverage this week. Let is know if we missed something interesting. Otherwise, on to the links!
• Joel McHale, proving to us once again that he’s the man, stopped by The Today Show to pimp Community and mock Kathy Lee and Hoda.
• Halloween may be over, but here are some awesome costumes you may have missed.
• People and their damned streaming. Internets everywhere have been clogged up by the massive use of Netflix over the past week.
• A laptop desk that you can attach to your steering wheel? Not since the first porn film played on a portable in-car DVD player has another device potentially caused so many accidents.
• Miss last Sunday’s pilot of AMC’s The Walking Dead? Well lucky for you, the episode is currently online in its entirety.
• Getting your list on, as usual, here are 10 of the best lessons taught to us by comics.
• A group of die hard Harry Potter fans gathered in the center of Grand Central to reenact one of their favorite scenes. New Yorkers were not phased.
• It looks like he may not have found another Alias after all, as J.J. Abrams’ Undercovers has officially gotten the boot from NBC.

In celebration of our favorite holiday that can combine the undead with the scantily clad, we bring you this week’s Halloween happenings on the web. Enjoy and be sure to have a very spooky Halloween!
• Need help picking you favorite scary flick to watch this weekend? What if they were inked into the arms and legs of these fine folks?
• What would this holiday be without Pumpkins, Pumpkins, and yes….more Pumpkins?
• Need an excuse to walk with a limp and wear old clothes? No better time like Halloween!
• If you live in one of these towns, your city may just be overrun by The Walking Dead this weekend. So carry a shovel.
• Walking Dead aside, if you don’t watch at least one of these Zombie flicks over the weekend, the holiday will all be for naught.
• While trolling door to door this Sunday to look for candy, keep an eye out for these, the worst named candies ever made.
• Probably the best list we’ve found for you: The sexiest monsters in horror movie history.

This Sunday may be a big day for most who love to dress up and eat candy, but for others it’s a huge day for zombie fans everywhere, as the very first episode of AMC’s The Walking Dead airs across the country.
While not much is known about what’s changing from the comic series by Robert Kirkman, there is plenty known about the production itself. We know that Frank Darabont is directing the first episode (of 6), who the main cast is, and any of the scenes we’ve gotten from the trailers and photos. Outside of that, we’re pretty much blind. Until now, that is.
We got our hands on a very rare clip from this Sunday’s episode, entitled “Days Gone By”. In it, we get a bit of the epic hospital scene that was so memorable from the comic.
Be sure to check the clip out after the jump, and don’t miss The Walking Dead this Sunday night at 10pm/9pm Central, only on AMC.

Yesterday, we brought you 3 clips from tomorrow night’s episode of Community in which the students of Greendale Community College become members of the living dead. Today, we’ve got a few more lighthearted clips for you in which the gang get to try out some of their favorite costumes for this year’s festivities.
We all remember some of the great costumes from last year’s Halloween episode, such as Chevy Chase’s Master of the Universe, Donald Glover’s Eddie Murphy, or even Danny Pudi’s Christian Bale. This year, things only get better with even more obscure costumes.
Community may not be doing as well as it could in the ratings, but that hasn’t stopped this season from being one of the funniest shows currently running on TV. Be sure to support it by catching this all-new episode Thursday night at 8/7C on NBC.
In the meantime, check out these three new clips from the episode after the jump.

• Finally, something good is coming to TV as Patton Oswalt is developing a series for Fox.
• A 23 year old turned their Dodge Caravan into the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles van. The best part? It was a girl.
• Netflix may be making a buttload of money in the next few months, but they still feel like their too good for Trash Humpers, a film about humping trash.
• New TRON inspired wristwatches are on the way. Say goodbye to the ladies, and hello to the confusion you’ll have when trying to figure out when lunch is.
• Len Weisman has announced that Colin Farrell is at the top of the list to star in a remake of Total Recall. We’d like to see him fit inside of an animatronic fat lady…
• Think Zach Galifiniakis gives the best awkward interview? Think again. This Dallas radio host actually out-awkwards him.
• The plot details for Transformers: The Dark of The Moon have popped up online and no there’s no continuity tie-in to The Wall.

Last August, a small film called Paranormal Activity swept the nation, making nearly $200 Million to date, worldwide, and creeping out just about every teen who walked into the theater. On the other side, 2009 was the 6th consecutive year that Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures put out a film in the Saw franchise. To date, Saw VI has only made $60 Million worldwide.
Since 2005, a Saw film has always dominated the theaters on the weekend of or just before Halloween. Granted, October is infamous for being the worst financial time of year for films and it still holds strong. Now, it seems the sequel to Paranormal Activity will be coming out to directly compete with the next Saw film, and they plan to be victorious. From Variety:
Paramount is committed to meeting the Oct. 22 release date for “Paranormal Activity 2,” which pits the sequel directly against “Saw VII 3D.”
“Saw VII” has already tried to bloody “Paranormal 2” once. Kevin Greutert was circling to direct “Paranormal 2” when Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures exercised an option requiring Greutert to direct the seventh installment in the “Saw” franchise.

Remember the days of ABC’s TGI-Fridays, when they would have a bevvy of Halloween specials every year for each show that almost acted like an Elseworlds story. Drew Carey would be abducted by aliens, or they would find a cloning machine on Two Girls, a Guy, and A Pizza Place? Far gone are those days, so we have to take solace in the little things, like a Guild Halloween special!
That’s right, Felicia Day’s webseries The Guild took the week off from their regular episodes to give us a brand new Halloween special in which the guildies go trick or treating in their local neighborhood. Things get a bit out of hand when every member decides to hit the same house for candy and…other things.
Check out the special after the jump, brought to us by MSN.com. Xbox 360 users can also get the episode in HD through the Xbox Live Marketplace, and for their Zune…if you are one of the 12 people who own one.
