Head For the Cemetery!

It's October! It's Halloween season! There really isn't any time of year I like better. Christmas is cool and all, but it's so commercial and overrated. I mean let's be honest. Some hooligans out there are probably already decorated and/or listening to Christmas music. Enough, people! You only have to wait 40+ more days before that is officially acceptable. You can do it!

If you didn't know already, I am a huge horror movie buff. I watch horror movies all year round. The Halloween season is just an excuse to watch even MOORE horror movies (horror TV shows as well. I'm talking to you "The Walking Dead"!). This year I've decided to watch one horror movie each day. I've been mostly successful with this quest, except on days when Disney schedules me 13-hour work days. Thanks a heap, work. Don't you know I have better things to do?!

I'm trying to watch either movies I've never seen before or movies that I haven't seen in a while. The only flick from horror mastermind Dario Argento that I've ever seen is Suspiria. I've got two of his other flicks (Inferno and Phenomena) sitting in my Netflix queue. Then there's all the genius cheeseball movies from the 80s such as Re-Animator, Creepshow, and House. You think you've seen them all then 10 more pop up either on TV or Netflix, and it's like the heaven opening up its pearly white gates and the angels singing in chorus "Ahhhh horror movies you're welcome AHHHH!" Or ya know something like that.

There's nothing more terrifying than deep V-neck sweaters

There's a few movies I'm rewatching. I've already watched what is arguably my favorite horror movie, The Others. It was the first horror movie I ever saw. If it wasn't for The Others I wouldn't even like horror movies today. Okay that's not true, but that movie was a great launching pad. Another couple of my favorite movies from the turn of the century are The Ring and Signs. A lot of people bash Signs because of the ridiculous ending. Yes, the ending is ridiculous, but there's so much more to that movie than the ending. There's themes of faith, very dry humor, and crazy Mel Gibson... I mean what's not to like? Also how about that kid's birthday video? Scary stuff!!

I'm going to the Enzian later tonight. Every year they show different horror movies for free out on the lawn. Tonight's model is an oldie from the 70s: The Abominable Dr. Phibes, starring Vincent Price. I've never heard of it before, but it's supposed to be awesome. I'll let you know what I think.

Scariest movie ever

Enough about me though. What say you all? What are some of your favorite horror movies? Do you have any that you watch every Halloween season? Of course there's the classics such as Halloween, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Psycho, and Poltergiest. (I'm saving all of those for Halloween week.) Or maybe you have obscure horror movies you watch? Let me know in the comments below. Enjoy the next couple of ghoulish weeks!
