What better day than Halloween to review a Christmas DVD. Actually, this DVD is quite fitting to review today. It's the bewitching Sabrina The Teenage Witch, the 1996-2003 television series starring Melissa Joan Hart as the titular character, with Caroline Rhea (who once wished my sister a Happy Birthday live on air) and Beth Broderick as her aunts Hilda and Zelda, and Nick Bakay as the voice of her cat Salem. Other reoccurring characters in Sabrina's life include her boyfriend Harvey (Nate Richert), her best friend Valerie (Lindsay Sloane), her high school nemesis Libby (Extreme Ghostbusters guest voice Jenna Leigh Green), and her young adult roommates Roxie and Morgan (Soleil Moon Frye and Elisa Donovan).

(Since Halloween is fast approaching, this seemed like the best time to revisit some of my past horror movie reviews. I'm revising and reposting a few of them, such as this one.)

C.H.U.D. II: Bud The CHUD arrives on Blu-ray as the fifth entry (they are all numbered on the spine) in Lionsgate's new Vestron Video Collector's Series, "a line of classic genre films newly remastered and with a wealth of supplementary features." I have reviewed several other titles in the series.

John Heard and Daniel Stern star in that perennial holiday classic, C.H.U.D.. Long before they both starred in Home Alone 1 & 2 (though I don't think they shared any scenes in either film), this odd couple was battling Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers in this acronym-titled film. Maybe if the Wet Bandits brought along some C.H.U.D.s, they would have defeated that puny Kevin McCallister.

Back in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, horror anthology films and television shows were pretty popular. Titles like Tales From The Crypt (British film and HBO series), The Vault of Horror, Creepshow 1 & 2, Tales From The Darkside (series and movie), Trilogy of Terror, and Tales From The Hood all come instantly to mind, with many others buried in the deep recesses of my brain. I've always loved these types of shows and movies, so it is my pleasure to be able to review Arrow Film's new Blu-ray release of Creepshow 2.

Vestron, Vidmark/Trimark, Live, Artisan, Media, New World, Goodtimes... If you grew up in the 1980s and 1990s, you will instantly recognize these names from the boxes of some of your favorite VHS cult classics. Lionsgate, who owns a few of these labels, has revived the Vestron name for the Vestron Video Collector's Series of Blu-ray releases. As described on the case, "Vestron Video has been a leader in providing the most unique and wide-ranging selection of films. We honor the spirit of Vestron Video by presenting the Vestron Video Collectors Series - a line of classic genre films newly remastered and with a wealth of supplementary features." I have reviewed several other titles in the series.

Okay, I will be covering two separate topics in this article, both of which involve Xbox 360 game saves. For both topics, you will need a Windows (XP or greater) program called Horizon, which can be downloaded from my Xbox 360 page. Before I continue, I am going to assume you know how to transfer game saves between your Xbox 360 and computer using a USB drive, and that said USB drive is already configured for use with your Xbox 360. If you have all of that, let's proceed...

The person I will be memorializing today has no connection to the Ghostbusters fandom, though I'm sure he loved the original movie almost as much as the rest of us.
