WoW Moviewatch: A Silverlined Halloween

Silverlined Productions stepped up to the holiday plate by presenting us A Silverlined Halloween. It's a clever commentary on the most dreaded Halloween event possible -- people handing out crackers to Trick-or-Treaters. Who's better to purvey such a vile treat than Arthas himself?
I enjoyed the general plan of A Silverlined Halloween, but I admit I struggled to understand what the Lich King was actually saying. I acknowledge that it could just be me having bad hearing, though. The adult Trick-or-Treater was fun, and I think his heavy breathing left enough doubt as to his intention that there was suspense in most of the video.
At the end of the day, I enjoyed A Silverlined Halloween. Maybe subtitles or something would make the Lich King's role more comprehensible, but I was still able to understand it well enough to laugh. Happy Halloween!

Slow news day? This video had potential, but I had a lot of difficulty understanding what Arthas was saying most of the time. I suppose it did make me smile thinking about those crazy old people who used to give out crap for Halloween, so +2 points for nostalgia.

Yes, of course he was.

Probably because I'm a Californian, but I had no trouble at all understanding the Lich King. He sounded just like Arnold Shwartzenegger, to me.

Oh, and btw...WHY?

Seems no one can ever get the Lich King's voice right. One day someone's going to piece together the dozens of horrible Lich King impersonations into one video...now that's something I'd watch.

Uhm... The Lich King was kind of ridiculously hard to understand (especially with the trick-or-treater's voice being so quiet compared to Arthas' booming, distorted voice). I think it was an attempt to make Arthas sound like Arnold Shwartzenegger, but he came out sounding much more like a male draenei...
The idea was funny, but overall, I have to say this video fails. =/
