When I was a kid, I couldn't watch Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video.
I
was too scared. That zombie face was the most terrifying thing I had
seen by that point and I simply wouldn't watch the werewolf
transformation. Instead, I preferred to stare at the back of the
couch. Even so, Halloween was my second most favorite holiday
of the year; it came directly after Christmas in my heart, but that's only because those
gifts are hard to beat.
The
ability to dress up and pretend to be someone, or something else
entirely appealed to me. No kid with an active imagination, could go
without putting on a costume. It was almost like the candy came
second to the fun. It was scary, sure, but it was thrilling at the
same time.
So, with childlike enthusiasm, let me present "Halloween Highlights" running in this blog through October. Beginning on 10/5 and continuing on Mondays, up to and including 10/26, I will be providing commentaries on some of the most celebrated horror films of all time. Then, on Saturday October 31st, I will post a bonus essay on "The Monster Squad".
I ask only, that you supplement your candy with popcorn, so you don't get sick.
The
images here, represent the movies we'll be looking at. For the exact
order and dates of each essay, be sure to check my Twitter page. I
normally post the announcement on Tuesdays, sometime before late
evening (It's too spooky).
So
feel free to join me, in this month-long celebration of ghouls and
ghosts and goblins. You're always welcome, be you supernatural
creature or seafaring pirate. Just remember, that the nutritious
value of candy apples negates all of the sugar, and as long as you
have a tooth in your mouth you're free to rot them away.
It's so sweet.
