boo!
I get really scared when I watch horror movies. Terrified! But like everything else that's so bad for me, I’m always irresistibly drawn to them. In honor of Halloween, there are a ton of thrillers on TV in the next week. AMC in particular is running Monsterfest, 10 days of horror films. Some of the gems they’re showing include: Magic, Hellraiser, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Puppetmaster, Children of the Corn, Creepshow, The Howling, The Exorcist, Psycho and of course, Halloween. If the movies listed here have sequels, they’re running those on AMC, too.
The Holiday Drive-In is also running some retro thrillers; tonight and tomorrow they’re showing Earth vs. The Flying Saucers and the Original Night of the Living Dead. This Friday and Saturday the drive-in movie theater will show triple features for Halloween, kicking off with Close Encounters of the Third Kind and going right into 30 Days of Night and The Grudge. Eeek! Put on your PJs, bring a big blanket, and bring someone to scare away the boogey men, too.
And finally, the Arizona Republic has a few ideas for Halloween movies the whole family can enjoy.
So, who's dressing up for Halloween? What are the hot costumes? My friend Mina and her husband went as Dog the Bounty Hunter and wife last year (mullets and all) and that was one of the best ideas for Halloween costumes I've heard of in a while. Hillary showing immense cleavage might be a good one this year. But I'm leaning toward Little Red Riding Hood for my Halloween costume. I've been trying to work my way through well-known female fictional characters for years and I did Alice in Wonderland already. Lala thinks the whole red cape thing is overdone, but I think it would be fetching.
If you're going to dress up or have an idea for a good/funny/timely Halloween costume, feel free to post a note here. And have a wonderful spook-filled holiday!
