307: The Halloween Holiday Special

It’s a Halloween Holiday Special!! Will we be doing most of this in Wookiee grunts and growls? No. Will there be a 7-minute erotic interlude from Diahnn Carrol? Most likely not! Will we be singing about a day of peace and a day of harmony? Nope! But we will be going over some of the most compelling Halloween questions from our childhoods and beyond. We recorded this episode live on Facebook and YouTube, which means we have plenty of your responses as well! So let’s find out those deep, compelling Halloween mysteries like: Favorite Monster Cereal? Candy you eat vs. Candy you toss? What is the horror film that’s kept you awake most nights? What’s your #1 Halloween tradition? What are you doing this year to make Halloween special?    On this episode, we also announce the Skywalker of the Month! Composer and bandleader Rob Dehlinger composes these amazing jingles. Make sure to check out what he's doing next by following Alpha Rhythm Kings .   Join Our Mailing List

Do you remember The Jedi Master’s Quizbook (1982), by Rusty Miller? At 11 years old, this boy penned a New York Times Bestseller!

304: The Scariest Disney Attractions

We bring HalloweenTime to You! It’s HalloweenTime! We can’t go to the Disney Parks to celebrate, so we’ll bring the season to you. This week we’ll share the truly chilling Haunted mazes found at Hong Kong Disneyland. They took the horror mazes found at Knotts Scary Farm and Universal Horror Nights and Disneyfied them. It makes us deeply jealous that we don’t have these in the US.  We also talk about our favorite scary Disney attractions, and reminisce about a certain terrifying dragon in her lair underneath a castle… Things We Talked About:   Neverland Clubhouse: A Sister's Guide through Disney Fandom - Subscribe!

303: Live from the Space Stage - A HALYX Story!

In the summer of ‘81, Disneyland featured a band that mashed up KISS and Star Wars that sang about “Jailbait”! It was called HALYX, formed by Disney Record execs to play at the Space Stage in Tomorrowland and hopefully capture a bone fide record deal. On this episode, we speak with Matthew Serrano , the director of the documentary, Live From the Space Stage: A Halyx Story . You can watch the documentary on YouTube.   This fascinating piece of Disney history lives on in the DeFunctland YouTube Channel. Matthew also directed the mini documentary, Remain Seated Please about two guys and their passion for boldly going where no guest had gone before - backstage of the EPCOT attraction Horizons.
