Callin' All Spook-Talkin' Mediums! It's Halloween, so sit down with your favorite ghoul and enjoy the morbid side of the Dukes of  Hazzard! From The Ghost of General Lee, to R.I.P. Henry Flatt and The Hazzardville Horror, there are plenty of episodes that brush up against ghosts, funerals, caskets, cemeteries and creepy shenanigans. Looking for more? Money to Burn gives you good times at the coffins works and hearse-driving Dukes. Bye-Bye Boss shows a Hogg-sized white coffin that would give the wilies to any pall bearer. And for the most sexy mourning dress ever seen on television, enjoy Daisy Duke's little black frock in Too Many Roscos.
If you don't have the Dukes of Hazzard DVD sets yet, (eeeeeek!!) you can download single episodes from Amazon.com for $1.99. Go ahead, treat yourself!

Don't Hold Your Breath for "Doonby" MovieJohn Schneider fans have been waiting for Doonby to be released ever since the early buzz of 2010. Originally scheduled for release by September 2011, our shameless seedy sources now tell us that Doonby will have limited theatrical release "sometime in 2012."
Reportedly, part of the release delay could be due to labor disputes. Some movie extras on the set of Doonby are claiming they were not paid. Meanwhile, rumor has it that the film has been shown to "select audiences", mostly consisting of church groups. You can read more about Doonby and see the trailer by looking back at our John Schneider article from 09/26/11.

HazzardNet T-Shirts Now Available!We've always thought our homepage logo looked pretty cool, so we made a t-shirt out of it! Actually, one of our members, HossC, gets the credit for re-creating the graphics from scratch and making them suitable for shirt production. Way to go, Hoss!
We also thought our classic retro logo looked pretty cool, so that's also available in a t-shirt!
We'll be honest; the majority of the money from the shirt sales goes to Zazzle, which handles the orders and produces the shirts. It's not gonna make us rich. (dang!) But it will give us a couple of dollars per sale, which will be used to cover the operational costs of HazzardNet.com, which is a bandwidth-suckin' monster.
We're loaded with graphics and we've got over 162,000 posts in our Forums archives, so our dedicated server space is whoppin' huge. The nickels and dimes we make from marketing stuff helps keep the lights on.
When we ordered our shirts, they came printed on medium-weight Hanes 100% cotton tees. You can check out our Zazzle store here!
HazzardNet.Com Completes Server Migration; Casualties Minimal Just kidding. The whole thing went so smooth, there was zero downtime and zero data loss. YEEHAW! This means faster page loading times on our Homepage, Forums, Image Galleries, and all the other umpteen pages we've got crammed in here.
Welcome New Members to HazzardNet.com!We have had many new sign-ups to our Forums in the past few months, and we thank you for joining us! Also, thank you to all our long-time friends, neighbors and cousins who have been with us for a number of years and stuck with us through technical upgrades and routine botches and all that stuff. As HazzardNet looks forward to its 13th consecutive year online, we're excited about the content enhancements we have in progress! We'll share them with you soon!
As always, we appreciate the excellent contributions we have from all our members who take the time to post news, shooting location research, stories, art work, photos, and more! THANK YOU!
Until next time,
