Sweet Mary and Her Whistling Brother Irving...

Halloween is 3 freaking days away, boils and ghouls, and how glorious it is! The colors of Autumn are everywhere, and the cycle of death and rebirth continues apace. I totally watched The Legend of Hell House today with some buds, and man...that movie kind of sucks. A lot. But if you're in the mood for some classy (well, good at least) horror films, then check these out...if you dare...

• Carnival of Souls (get the original, not the recent re-make)
• Vampyr (top notch, my friends)
• Night of the Living Dead (stick with the original b & w one)
• The Fog (I don't care what Erin says, I deem it to be a minor masterpiece)
• Suspiria (I hope you're not squeamish)
• Dead Alive (see above; however, it's more comedy than horror if you really think about it...)
• Lost Highway (FREAKING weird, but it's a David Lynch film, so it's to be expected...)

And there's always classics such as The Omen, and The Exorcist, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (as always, the original), and The Changeling (am I wrong and this is not in fact a classic?), or Friday the 13th or Halloween, but you can't really go wrong with any of these puppies. So do yourself a favor. Check 'em out.

Oh, and I don't know how I forgot to mention that I got a terrible haircut yesterday. You see, I had this epiphany a little while ago: I don't look good with long hair. I know I've been told that a million times over the years, but, uh...all of you that have told me that time and time again... you had a good point. My current 'do wouldn't even be so bad if only there was hair on the sides and back of my noggin. And if it wasn't so short that it emphasized how big my already formidable melon is. That's all I really need. Now I just rock my beaver fur Holden Caulfield hat all of the time. Sheesh. A man shouldn't have to resort to Eskimo gear to conceal his shameful haircut. Oh well. It's been nice talking to you again. Well, I s'pose...
