It's Here!

Happy Halloween, everybody!

Marilyn Manson's cover of "This is Halloween" from A Nightmare Before Christmas.

Hope you guys are having fun! Don't die. 

Shivering In Antici...

...pation.

It's almost here, my droogies. One more night and Halloween will unleash its... er, Halloween-ness. Today will be the final movie night, as I am not planning to watch movies on dear Samhain. No, I have more sinister plans.

Yep. I shoved aside John Carpenter's Halloween for Trick 'r Treat. But I like the concept of a movie actually about Halloween better than a movie that just happens to take place on Halloween. As you could probably guess, this is one of my favorite holiday themed movies. It's original, clever, and gives Halloween an awesome mascot in a way. My future children better prepare to be dressed up as Sam. 

The animated short the film is based on:

C'mon guys, someone has to give him some candy!

I'm excited. Tomorrow, I'm wearing my Freddy Krueger sweater to class. Since it has also been chilly the last couple of days, it's doubling as a source of warmth. Then I'm changing into a black robe and heading for an old haunted bridge on the other side of town with a couple of friends. Why? It's Halloween. People will go there to get scared. I feel obliged help them achieve their goal. It should be fun. 

What is everyone else's plans? Trick or treating? Handing out candy? Awesome parties?

An Obvious One, Really

I predict that today will be a rather unproductive day. Watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show until five in the morning is not recommended, although I'll admit, it is a lot of fun.

But that's not my movie today. We're heading for the classic hills today, with a movie that's on EVERY Halloween movie list. 

That's no Dr. Frank n Furter. 

I was originally planning to use this as the final movie, but then I remembered another film that was a better fit to the Halloween season. Not that this one is any less, but it's focus isn't on the holiday itself. Still a great movie. 

Great. Now I have the Time Warp stuck in my head. 

So Close!!!

Happy Frankenstein Friday, everyone! Halloween is in three days, plans have been made, costumes set out. It's going to be a grand old time.

Until then, I'll get myself in an extra good mood, starting with something fun: Hocus Pocus (1993).

This is probably one of my favorite Disney movies, honestly. It enough to get a yearly spot on the Disney Channel, and I own it on DVD. No, I do not watch the Disney Channel. 

Regardless, I think any Halloween movie marathon should have this included. It's fun, not too scary, and has both witches and a zombie. As everyone knows, zombies are apparently a hot item these days. Why, I don't know. I think it has something to do with the downfall of vampires thanks to sparkles.

"American Witch" by Rob Zombie. Seriously, you guys. How is Rob Zombie so awesome???

So ready for Monday to get here. For once, the weekend is getting in the way....

Busy

Skipping movie night again. Class until five. Bleh.

Until then, how would you like to be this guy?

Some More Ghostly Goings On

Since tonight is Ghost Hunters night, here's the newest video from my paranormal group, Waxing Crescent Paranormal:

Weird. Couldn't figure it out at the time, still trying to at the moment. 

No Escape

I realize my Halloween Horror Movie List for 2011 is slowly becoming saturated with vampire flicks. But bear with me here. I own a lot.

30 Days of Night is probably one of my favorite vampire films ever. Why? Because these ain't your mama's vamps. Nah, this is going back to Nosferatu. Terrifying. Not the kind of vampire you want hanging around your bedroom at night. Unless you're into monsters with three inch nails and mouth full of sharp teeth. I won't judge.

Nor are they prim and proper vampires either, drinking blood from wine glass and laughing at those silly werewolves down the road. No, these guys don't give a shit about dry cleaning. There is blood all over the fucking place.

Let it also be known the graphic novel is just as amazing. There's actually a series. However, I've only gotten to the third one. This film is just the first book. 

Because I can't find another vampire song to suit my tastes, you get to enjoy some old school White Zombie:

"I'm Your Boogieman" by White Zombie

One of the vampire from 30 Days of Night. Honest to God, I thought it was Marilyn Manson the first time he appeared onscreen. I was all, "WTF is Manson doing in this movie?????" But it's not Manson. It's just some guy named John Rawls. *shrugs*

Less than a week, guys. LESS THAN A WEEK!!!! 

I'm Going to Need Some More Cages....

...because I don't know how many more imaginary monsters I can fit in my imaginary basement. Here's another one for my collection:

Look at it. Don't you just want to give it a hug and invite it in for tea and cakes? It's just as cute as a bunny rabbit and a kitten playing with a box. 

Ok, ok, I exaggerate. Nothing is as cute as kittens.

But Pumpkinhead is one of my favorite monsters, no doubt. Not as high as the Creeper, but within range.

Now I wish to draw your attention to something I noticed this morning. But before I go on, I want to make note, I'm good at doing the laundry. Just not when it involves beach. Although, while brushing my teeth this morning, my lack of ability to use the beach makes for some interesting... art, shall we say?

At first glance, a normal person just might see a stain and a need for a higher degree of laundry learning. Not me. I saw a skull.

Like Jesus on a piece of toast, I got a skull on my towel. Thank you, pareidolia!

"Monster" by Skillet. It works, right?

One more for the playlist, eh?

Hellyeah is still MIA. They're working on an album, I know. But I'm dying for a listen.
