Happy Halloween (finally)!
The day is here, it has finally come. 364 days of waiting, and over a month of planning, Halloween has arrived. It is hoped that all will enjoy a safe and Happy Halloween.
How will you be spending the day (and/or night)? As for this writer, a movie marathon accompanied by dozens of pieces of candy (and loads of caffeinated soda) is a long-running tradition for the holiday. Yes, it is a bit low-key; however, dressing up and going to a party is something that has not happened to this webmaster in a very long time. The same can be said about being made up. The days of spending three hours with paintbrushes, cotton, latex and wax teeth in front of a mirror are over (at least unless this former special effects makeup hobbyist is asked a favor of). An hour to remove the makeup? No, thanks anyway! That old Night of the Living Dead t-shirt will do just fine to get into the spirit!
A review for another creepy, yet rarely heard-of, horror film is forthcoming: The House of the Dead (1978).
