We couldn't wait for the Weekly What To Do for this one. We've got a dang SPAM® Musubi Mobile headed around town to Ralph's Supermarkets. We mean, how is this...it's too funny. The SPAM® Musubi Mobile rolls into town to celebrate National SPAM® Musubi Day on August 8th. Not sure, how that became a holiday, but sure.
From a press email:
SPAM® Musubi Mobile locations
Thursday, Aug. 7 at 12 PM– 2 PM PT: 260 S. La Brea Ave., Los Angeles
Thursday, Aug. 7 at 5 PM – 7 PM PT: 11727 W. Olympic Blvd., Los Angeles

While onsite, lucky fans who see the mobile in action will be treated to free samples of SPAM® Musubi and SPAM® Norimaki. Each spot will also be accompanied by music, outdoor games, free SPAM® brand merchandise, coupons and more.
*Oh, I hope I can get a SPAM hat, if they have them.
Can't praise this horror comedy enough, Found Footage: The Making of the Patterson Project might be the best horror comedy of 2025. Radio Silence (SCREAM VI, READY OR NOT, ABIGAIL) are the producers of this hidden gem and they totally knew this could be a cult hit. With characters worthy of The Office and mismanagement of a first feature Bigfoot production akin to the show as well, you'll find yourself asking what new problem will these idiots contend with next. You'll find the footage a laugh riot. It's on major streaming services for rent.
And, be sure to check out the web-site for the film, a real specially made web-site for the movie
If you haven't, watch the dirtiest and stupidest anime on Prime, New Panty & Stocking. It has no good promotion outside of AX. I'm not sure how anyone will find out about unless you have some social links online to current anime. Every episode gets dumber and mocks so many different movies/shows/comics.
Sony has seemingly done something cool with the fact it does own a theater chain now. The Way of the Samurai: Film Series Inspired by Ghost of Yotei starts this weekend and you can head to our own Alamo Drafthouse to check out films related to the games style and setting.
"This August, we invite film lovers and modern-day ronin alike to step into the cinematic world of honor, vengeance, and swordplay with Way of the Samurai, a curated film series inspired by the upcoming PlayStation® release, Ghost of YΕtei™. From August 2nd through September 4th, select Alamo theaters will showcase five iconic samurai films that helped define the genre: LADY SNOWBLOOD, LONE WOLF AND CUB: SWORD OF VENGEANCE, THE TALE OF ZATOICHI, 13 ASSASSINS, and RAN."
V/H/S/Halloween the next film in the horror anthology series has a date and has announced the directors. Coming to Shudder Oct 2nd, a new bag of messed-up directors is inside. We've got Bryan M. Ferguson (Pumpkin Guts), Casper Kelly (Too Many Cooks), Micheline Pitt-Norman & R.H. Norman (Grummy), Alex Ross Perry (Her Smell), Paco Plaza (REC), and Anna Zlokovic (Appendage). As reported by BD.
Hoo boy, who know how weird Caper Kelly's segment is gonna be.
dracula ballet is back in los angeles on october 24 and i have never been more jealous of people who live there pic.twitter.com/okUQg4ci9Q
Did I forget we have Dracula Ballet? In any case, it's back in the LA area Oct 24th and does look bloody good. Only two nights!
But wait, there's even more Dracula with Dracula The Musial starting this August. And, it is a rock-opera version!!!
"Director Justin Meyer has this to say about the upcoming production: “Dracula: The Musical will enthrall audiences with its powerful score played LIVE by our house rock-band, its soaring operatic vocals, its high-flying aerial acrobatics, its richly ornate costuming and its blood-splattering special FX, Themed Cocktails and Mocktails! This show is rarely done in the United States, so this will be a very special opportunity for Wildhorn and Dracula fans to come out and see it done in the round a truly unique and epic way that only The Nocturne Theatre can do!”"
August 8th-August 31st, 2025 The Nocturne Theatre, 324 North Orange Street, Glendale, CA 91203 Price: $44.50-$73.50, with booking fee
General Mills’ Monster Cereals had a collab with the Jim Henson Company for some fun looking boxes this year. Count Chocula, Boo Berry, and Franken Berry all have Muppet makeovers. Just to remind you, Disney owns the Muppets, but the style and just making fun looking puppets separately still exist in the Jim Henson Company. So no Kermit the Frog on the box.
Wow! Only 18 days until the Grand Opening of Universal Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas on August 14! This year-round horror attraction features 4 immersive haunted houses! π±
