Oct. 31st! HALLOWEEN!

It's Halloween. The day. THE day.

What's a Halloween Addict to do on the day they're addicted to?

Well: I'm not gonna lie to you. Step #1: I took the day off.
Really?
Yes.

Then I celebrated as I wanted to...



I got up and put on my brand new Threadless T-Shirt called "The Good Guys Don't Glow at Midnight."

Next? Sure there's all kinds of Halloween-themed programming running on TV, but I'm picky. I started my own personal Monsterfest.

I've had Halloween movies running all day in my DVD player.

Here's been my schedule thus far:

The Crow: The film starts off with Eric Draven being killed on Halloween and from there it's a just a great moody film.

Campfire Tales: I had never seen this and it arrived in my Netflix yesterday. Being a sucker for anthology films like Creepshow and Cat's Eye, I hoped for a fun little low-budget thriller.
What did I get? Crap. Garbage. A horror movie anthology SO boring I would constantly leave the room without pausing it.

Sleepy Hollow: Again, sort of a mood-setter. I'll usually watch this AFTER the Disney's Sleepy Hollow that I have. This is the perfect movie to put on when I'm carving my pumpkin.
Which is something else I did. Check it out...

Halloween: My favorite. I never pass a year without watching some version of this film. Whether it be the TV version, the original, etc.
This year I chose to watch the version I taped from AMC with the pop-up factoids.
I usually try and time this so that as the sun starts to set in the film (the scene with Laurie and Annie driving around talking) the sun is setting in reality. It blurs the line between artifice and real life just enough to add an extra 'creep factor' to the day.

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown: I have to watch this at night. Can't watch it during the day, it's just not the same.

Close it out with The Fog

Carved a pumpkin. As I live in a warmer climate I don't have the benefit of cold days and nights to help preserve my pumpkin through the week. Nope... I gotta carve on THE day because in two days it's a mushy moldy mess.

A lame entry for the holiday but I'm writing this with minutes to spare before my favorite day is over.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN
