Watched the classic Night of the Living Dead last night.  It had been years since I'd seen it. 

I'm not really a horror movie guy, they just don't interest me that much. That is, unless there are zombies involved. I love a zombie movie. Night of the Living Dead wasn't the first zombie movie I ever watched, but it is the one I probably I watch the most.

Watched a terrible B-movie last night called Cherry Falls.  It is a slasher film from 25 years ago where a serial killer is attacking teenagers in a small town.  Britany Murphy and Jay Mohr are in it.  

Maybe I’m way too old but for some reason I just don’t enjoy horror movies as much as I use too!! Jason, Freddie, Micheal, and Chucky are predictable characters and quite humorous to me!!

Final Destination movies are the most predictable to me; quite boring although my wife loves them all. Speaking of my wife, she won’t watch Chucky, Micheal, Aliens, and Predators. She also loves Children of the Corn.

I love Escape Room movies mainly because I’ve done Escape Room attractions, like the ones here in Las Vegas, Denver, and Bakersfield. Maybe my love of chess might have something to do with that.

There’s one that I’ve tried to watch with my brother 9 times when I was in high school that starred Linda Blair!! I won’t even type that movies title!! It took my brother those 9 times to watch the entire movie, and the more we went, the more time I spent in the lobby playing video games than seeing that movie but I saw enough to know that I’d never forget what I did see to last me a lifetime!! For the longest time my brother had a hard time sleeping because every time he closed his eyes to go to sleep he’d see her face and couldn’t sleep!! Even today, I hate seeing that movie advertised in any shape, way, and form, and they love to play it a lot in the month of October.

I’ll take a black and white monster movie over today’s horror movies anytime.

There is something extra enjoyable about the black and white in classic horror movies like Psycho, Night of the Living Dead, Frankenstein, ect.  

 

Holy jumping Jack-O-Lantern's look at the date!  Happy Halloween everyone!

Original Halloween is a good movie, Halloween 2 is popular and well liked, though I never got into it.  Halloween 3 is a different animal.  Halloween 4 is a movie that I like early on but it falls apart, Halloween movies five and six are terrible.  

Disney recently added Something Wicked This Way Comes to streaming for the first time, so we checked it out. It kept me engaged - haven't seen much of Jonathan Pryce early in his career, so that was fun.
