Well, Raining Blood is one of the greatest works of art of our time, and I'm not sure a crass house decoration is the best...NAH - THAT RULED!
In fact, I could not imagine Christmas lights being remotely awesome before seeing that even if I tried. Very nicely done! Especially the insanity during the noise leads at the end. SLAYER!

P.S. THIS IS MY DAUGHTERS ACCOUNT SO DONT PAY ATTENTION TO THE GIRLY STUFF!!!! SLAYER RULES
Oh man.
Christmas lights (and maybe sports-themed bodypaint/costuming) are the only bits of artistic expression we let straight men have in America, it seems. Now technology has helped us reach the baroque period of Christmas decor.
And it is kick-ass.

"You know, this is [REDACTED SLAYER-LOVING FRIEND] in 30 years, Mr. F."
"Post that shit to Facebook and it'll be [REDACTED SLAYER-LOVING FRIEND] next year, honey."
"...right, I'll get right on that."

The Still Reigning DVD records their 2004 performance of the entire album in concert. Dave Lombardo, who was 39 at the time, occasionally looks like he's going to have a heart attack.

Um. Holy crap I'm a freak. I work in a sweetshop that just got a Slayer espresso machine and I thought that was what this FPP was talking about. Nope.

I read this as SLAYER! KITTENS! SLAYER KITTENS LIGHTS LIGHTORAMA!
I was somehow expecting christmas style laser cats. Was so confused when I clicked on the link and didn't see any kittens. Love the link though!

I thought the Thriller one was much better -- the animated faces are really what pushes it over the top.

The Thriller guy says he used Light-O-Rama; based on the similarity of some of the light effects I'm guessing this one does too. (I admit discovering this is available out of the box takes some of the fun out of it for me: it's not genius, just disposable income)
