It’s just about Halloween, so for your eerie pleasure, I present my Top 10 Spooky Movies of All Time. I put a lot of thought into this and these are movies solely ranked by how much they made the hairs on my neck stand up straight.

10. Open Water – Two scuba divers left stranded in the ocean only to face a slow death by sharks. I’m already quivering. freaks me out.

9. Låt den Rätte Komma In (Let the Right One In) (2008) – Nevermind the 2010 Americanized remake called “Let Me In.” The original is in Swedish, and is a freaky and sad story about vampires.

8.Rosemary’s Baby - Roman Polanski is creepy enough, but even after it’s 1968 release, this one still holds up. It’s not so much scary things that are happening in this one, but rather how freaky the characters act.

7. Jaws - The sharks again…freaking me out! Watching Robert Shaw slowly slide down the deck of his boat and into the shark’s mouth has damaged me for life.

6. Silence of the Lambs - It puts the lotion in the basket. Also, this movie makes me hungry for fava beans

5. Anything George Romero, but specifically Dawn Of The Dead (1978) – Romero is the king of the living dead. His movies always have a lot of dread and gloom in them. You also get a subtle message about society hidden in each one. Gore + social conscience. Fun!

4. Alien - It may seem like it’s an action movie, but really it’s more of a scare fest. I’m getting indigestion just thinking about it.

3. Misery – Steven King. Ouch, my ankles hurt just thinking about it.

2. Poltergeist – It’s time to sell the house when you slide into your unfinished swimming pool hole and skeletons pop up out of the water. That and having a big skeleton head jump out of your closet. They will certainly bring your property value down.

1. Psycho - Even with all the scary monsters out there, nothing is actually scarier than a real person who is off their rocker.

You would think that might be what were looking at here. Nope. This is the actual photo of Steven Tyler after slipping in the shower this week in Paraguay.

He tells The Today Show that he didn’t fall off the wagon, just slipped on the soap.

Ouch.  Did he have sandpaper on his shower wall?  Perhaps fighting Mike Tyson was a bad choice.

Damn you JBJ!  Everytime I want to pass you off as a washed up rocker of the 80’s, you go ahead and do something really cool.

A little bit of his history as I remember it:

• Kicked all sorts of Rock & Roll butt in the 80’s with Bon Jovi.
• Wrote an awesome song for Young Guns II and took an uncredited roll in the movie.
• TV appearances including: Sex and the City, 30 Rock, The West Wing, and an extended stint on Ally McBeal.
• Rebooted Bon Jovi in the early 2000’s to notable success.

Now he’s giving respect to the poor.

His latest venture is opening up a experimental new New Jersey restaurant The Soul Kitchen.  It’s a place where people pay what they can for their meal.  It’s a new idea aimed at getting rid of the negative stigma of getting a charitable free meal, or the “soup kitchen” idea.

In fact, he says his new establishment is not a soup kitchen, but a place for people who need a meal to volunteer in lieu of payment. Customers who can afford to donate a few dollars can leave a donation for their meal.

He’s giving families in need the chance to feel normal.  Here’s that he says about it.

“With the economic downturn, one of the things I noticed was that disposable income was one of the first things that went,” Bon Jovi told AP during an interview. “Dining out, the family going out to a restaurant, mom not having to cook, dad not having to clean up – a lot of memories were made around restaurant tables.”

Here comes the play on words:

Awww Jon.  You give love for your fellow man a good name.

Wanted.  Wanted!  Mashed Potatoes with chives.

You were born to be my baker, I was made to eat your sand (wich)

I’ll eat broccoli for you, these five words I swear to you

Your chicken noodle soup is like,  gooood medicine.

Wooaaaah. We’re half way there.  Wooooahh-oh.  Living on e’claires.

Can I just fast forward to 2013? Because really, I want to go back to November, 5th, 1955.

That’s when The DeLorean Motor Company says they’ll be release their brand new, electric versions of the DMC-12, the car Doc Emmit Brown made famous in “Back To The Future.” The new car will be made of original parts and a new electric engine, will be built to order and cost around $90,000.

88 MPH? No problem, the new cars are expected to be able to do 125 MPH and go 70 miles on a single charge.

Here’s the other potential benefits of an electric DeLorean:

• It will be upgradable in the future to be able to fly. “Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need roads.”
• It can come equipped to nicely seat two adults, or one adult and a large dog.
• The electric engine eliminates the need for a Mr. Fusion power converter. Who wants a nuclear reactor in the trunk?
• 125 MPH can easily outrun Lybian terrorists.
• It’s gull wing style car doors are impressive, except when you park closely to another car or are in a drive-thru.
• $90,000 seems cheap for being able to go back in time to collect embarrasing stores about your parents.

Other than the wilhelm scream, That may be one of my favorite movie sounds.

Any character that can pull off an evil belly roll has my thumbs of approval. Thanks to IFC.com, here’s some of the best evil movie laughs. Now you’re fully prepared for Halloween.

That email to the Badger football student section didn’t seem to have much of an effect stopping their infamous: E.S.F.Y. chant over the weekend.

They weren’t the only one tossing around the vulgarities.

Lady Gaga dropped and F-Bomb and flipped the bird at the President Clinton Foundation event on Saturday night.

Then on Sunday, AJ Hawk let the bird loose during the Packer game. Hmmm…are we witnessing the new birth of a loss of decorum?

With all the Occupy Wall Street protests that have spread around the world, including right here in Madison, it got me thinking about protest songs.

I bet most people could come up with a handful of really good protest songs.  Time Magazine did it.

Here’s their list of the Top 10 in no particular order

• Ohio – Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
• What’s Goin’ On – Marvin Gaye
• Give Peace A Chance – The Plastic Ono Band
• Sunday Bloody Sunday – U2
• War – Edwin Starr
• Blowin’ In The Wind – Bob Dylan
• F*** Tha Police – NWA
• Sun City – United Artists Against Apartheid
• Fortunate Son – CCR
• Georgia…Bush – Lil Wayne

Not a bad compilation, but there’s a couple more I’d throw in there.

What about:

Rock The Casbah – The Clash

Fight The Power – Public Enemy

I Won’t Back Down – Tom Petty

God Save The Queen – The Sex Pistols

All fantastic choices, but what about the pinnacle of all protest songs about refusing to accept corporate or other social influence. Thank you Jermaine Stewart.

Let us not forget.  They are still the 2011 National League Central Champs. See you at Spring Training.

Here’s Prince Fielder’s final at bat:

Sounds like a good subtitle for a Terminator movie, but unfortunately for us, this is reality.

According to a new survey, cell phones and other mobile devices now outnumber humans in the U.S.

There are 327 million active phones, tablets and laptops on cellular networks. That compares with 315 million women, men, girls, boys and infants populating the U.S.  It’s because some people are carrying a work and a personal cell.

Here’s the thing that freaks me out about this story.  This egghead Isaac Asimov is the one who came up with the laws of robotics.  Assuming these machines do become intelligent enough to rise up, are they gonna pay attention to his old laws?  This video is in black & white from the 1950s!

There’s still a weird old Wisconsin law that says makes it illegal to serve Apple Pie without a slice of cheese on it!

Nobody pays attention to that.  Who says robots are gonna pay attention to the “don’t destroy all humans” rule?

In celebration of the Williamson Street Road construction ending, here’s some music to get your motor hummin’ once again.

Now that the roads are open, let the hippies run free!
