#VundaHalloweenathon Day 1: "Freaky Favorites" #VundaHalloweenathon would not be worth doing if it wasn't for the wonderful performances of so many great actors, and the blood, sweat, and tears put in by writers. The Writers Guild of America just reached an agreement with the Association of Movie Producers and Television Producers, but the Screen Actors Guild are still on strike for fair compensation. We at the Vundacast support these efforts.  Welcome to #VundaHalloweenathon! Our annual celebration of all things spooky and our very own 31 Day Horror Challenge!

There are no wrong answers to this one, as long as it has won your favor it is qualified for today's viewing. Check out our TikTok all month long.  D-Rock: -Class of Nuke 'Em High (1986) directed by Richard W. Haines & Lloyd Kaufma...
