I've never been good at filling these things out, but here it goes. I like long walks in cold mountain air, preferably with snow on the ground. I enjoy drinking fine soda by the crackling fire, and deep tissue massage. I hope to one day grow up an become and astronaut, so I can fly to Venus to see if that's really where women come from. If it's true, I'll bring one back for you, too. Unless it's a dude you want, and then you're out of luck...sorry. My favorite month is October, because Halloween is the best holiday ever! It allows me to openly proclaim my love and obsession with scary movies without being seen as some sort of lunatic. Okay, not too much of a lunatic. I'm a huge fan of rock and metal music, and you'll often hear me blasting the control room speakers into oblivion every night during my show. My engineer doesn't like me very much, since he has to fix them. Sorry, Mike.

The Great Townsquare Grand Rapids Tiny Pumpkin Carving Contest
Earlier this month, several of us were attending the wedding of one of ours, Julie. As part of her table decorations, she had these super tiny pumpkins at each place setting, and being the DJ jerks we are, we promptly stole some to make a silly video. FREE STUFF!
We decided to have a contest to see if we could carve these tiny, tiny pumpkins for Halloween, and who could do it best!
Delish.com Has Named Michigan’s Best French Fries – Do You Agree?
Recently, Delish.com has posted the French Fries from each state that are the best, or the ones "everyone is talking about". Which equates to the same thing, I guess. They scoured Foursquare for probably minutes to compile their list, and they've posted each state's result.
Where are Michigan's best fries?
The Steam/Chaos Experiment – Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween #11
This next Michigan Horror Movie for Halloween is a tricky one, in a few ways. First off, it has different names, either "The Chaos Experiment", or "The Steam Experiment". Second, you can't stream the damn thing to be able to watch it. If you have Netflix DVD delivery, you can get it.
Take a Tour of the New Downtown Venue 20 Monroe Live – Opening in February
Got a nice invitation today to take a walk through the new venue that's going in next door to us here at Channel 95.7. It's the new venue called 20 Monroe Live, and it's right between our building and the BOB downtown. It looks like it's going to be amazing!
Monsters: Dark Continent – Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween #8
Last night, I watched what had popped up on my Google search on scary movies related to Michigan. I probably should have looked closer into this one, even though it has "Monsters" in the title. I thought, "Great! A monster movie!"
Nope...totally a crap movie that just happened to have monsters in the background.

Evil Dead (2013) – Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween #6
Yesterday, for Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween, we covered the original The Evil Dead, made by Sam Raimi, and starring Bruce Campbell. The camp, the gore, the fun, the scary...that movie had it all. How do you even remake it?
With one of the best new versions ever. Super gory, more serious, surprising character changes...so much blood...Evil Dead, released in 2013, set a new standard for rema
‘Evil Dead’ – Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween #5
This month, I'm paying tribute to some of the horror movies that have been either filmed in Michigan, take place in Michigan, or both. I've covered some recent films in the first four installments. This time, I'm going way back to 1981, for one of the best horror movies from Michigan... or anywhere! The Evil Dead!
Jingles the Clown – Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween #4
For today's installment of Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween, I watched Jingles the Clown last night. It was made in Ypsilanti, MI, and set in "Michigan", and they weren't very specific, making it "the middle of nowhere". Is anyone going to be mad to not get location credit in this movie? No.
‘Jinn’ – Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween #3
Last night, I checked out another Michigan-made horror movie for October. It's called Jinn, and I was pleasantly surprised! We've already checked out movies from this year and last year, so going back to 2014 for Jinn seems like a reasonable next step!

It's my favorite month of the year, because Halloween! Who doesn't love Halloween? It's the most fun, not only because of Trick or Treating and candy, but because the movies for Halloween are the best! There are a lot of scary movies to watch, and I've found a bunch either made in Michigan, or set in this state. First up: It Follows.
