there’s a Halloween children’s book that my sister and i had as kids (so, from the 80s) that i’ve been trying to find for decades

all that i remember about it is there’s a group of kids trick-or-treating that run into a bunch of different monsters who end up trick-or-treating with them…

i watched She-Creature a few years back and really dug it.

it’s funny how long it’s taken me to get around to these, though. especially considering how frequently i saw the tapes at various video stores when they released. and the action figures were always at Toys R Us back then.

and now i’m thinking of doing a day of game-related horror flicks.

possible titles include Arcade, Evolver, Brainscan, and The Dungeonmaster.

up early on my day off and watching the 2001 “remake” of How to Make a Monster.

i got a dish of pumpkin and Oreo ice cream, and a first-time watch of 1408.

it’s much needed after an eleven-hour workday.

i still remember my mom howling with awkward laughter at the “hair gel” scene when it first hit home video/rental.

i haven’t watched it since.

i’ve watched as many movies in the last four days as i did in the entirety of August and September.

it’s a pretty clear indication of how bad off i’ve been for a while now.

the last three months have been a real struggle and i’m hoping for better days ahead.

not -too- shabby for $10.00.

(i was really hoping Submarauder would have the ‘bot inside, but no dice.)

i still (very) occasionally find something worthwhile on the grab-bag wall at Savers.

planning on watching Beware of the Blob when i get home from work.

it’s a movie that totally freaked me out as a kid for just one scene, and i’m curious to see how that particular kindertrauma holds up.

i was sold the moment i saw it.

the description of a werewolf stalking London during WWII was icing on the cake.

Ferrer is fantastic as a sleazy, acerbic tabloid reporter. and the SFX (especially at the end) are perfectly gruesome.

it feels like a fun blend of Tales from the Crypt and The X-Files.

last flick (and the first rewatch) for the day.

a good start to my favorite month!

i have very distinct memories of the second and third segments from seeing it as a kid, but totally blocked the opening with Cujo (and Christine!) and everything with James Woods.

i know i followed you over at the other place once upon a time, but i don’t think we ever interacted.

saw someone share your post and decided to jump in (sorry!) and reply.

i still have all my issues nearby for the occasional reread!

the local ice cream place got their pumpkin (and pumpkin with Oreos!) flavors in last month, and i crave it pretty much every day.

so, uh, these also look amazing.
