Wow, here's what Edith Scob ("Eyes Without a Face") looks like now.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Cool preview to the prequel to The Birds:
We've been doing a lot of driving over the last couple weeks, and we keep driving by large groups of noisy birds. I keep telling Hubs that if we see Tippi Hedren, we need to get out of there.

It's so cool to be able to check the TV listings today and see scary movies all over the place: Shutter, Tower of London, The Tingler, Mrs. Doubtfire...

Heh.
Fright Night is on. There's just something about the popcorn appeal of eighties teen horror movies. I love Stephen Geoffreys as Evil Ed. I mean he's not quite up to Tom Waits as Renfield, but he makes an excellent vamp minion. Plus cute Amanda Bearse and scary Chris Sarandon.

I watched The Lost Boys last night. I wanted to like it more than I actually did; it was strangely boring for the first half, until the vampire action really started. And I felt like it was two different movies, and one of them was The Goonies Meet the Vampires, which didn't mesh well with Michael's story. It wasn't bad, though, and it looked good (although the big hair was distracting). In its defense, I was tired and sleepy when I watched it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I've always liked Lost Boys more for its parts than as a whole.
I fell asleep trying to watch Wes Craven's New Nightmare last night.

I have no trick-or-treaters. I think I may have to watch my favorite Halloween film, Arsenic and Old Lace to feel in the spirit.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yesterday Fox Movie Channel ran a 24-hour marathon of Rocky Horror. I hereby confess that I've seen the stage show, but not the movie. Until yesterday. Even though songs and references were a staple of the crowd I hung out with during my young adult years.
A few observations:
In close-up, Frank-N-Furter reminded me strongly of Freddie Mercury.
Am I the only person who's ever thought Brad (without glasses, at least) was sexier than Rocky?
Musically, an interesting mix of '50s rock and '70s glam.
Having heard so many quotes and songs, etc., over the years, I'm surprised that I was surprised a couple of times. I even jumped a little bit at the reveal of Eddie in the table.
