Startin' to think about my Halloween Marathon ...
Sparked by the sudden “omg!” last night that I might actually have missed the 30th anniversary of the release of Halloween, lol … not to worry, it was (according to the IMdb) originally released on the 25th. So I know what I’ll be watching that day. I’m kinda bummed that there don’t seem to have been any plans for a theatrical re-release - I’m sure somebody told me not long ago that there were such plans, ‘cos I’d written somewhere about how it probably needs to be seen on the big screen to be really terrifying again or something (I honestly have a personal preference for some of the sequels and the remake lol).
Anyway I was thinking that gives me a week headstart on Halloween itself and that’s just exactly how many sequels there are so I’ll maybe watch those on the days running up and I intend to do the same with the other franchises like Freddy and Jason etc during the rest of October. For the day itself, it’s an opportunity to add some notches to my first-time viewings count for the year, lol - so in the mix will be Mirrors, Teeth, The Strangers, a Jodelle Ferland double-bill (Seed and Bloodrayne 2), P2, the original Dark Water, and the Angela Bettis-directed, Lucky McKee starring (major May connection so I hope I’m not disappointed, lol) Roman. I’ve got a neat sounding anthology movie called The Vault of Horror on the Sky+ too. Hopin’ to track down a screening(/screener lol) of Flick, too. Of course I’ll have to fit The Exorcist in there somewhere. My book for the month is “Wicked” hehe …
In the meantime, the disarray of my usual reviewing habit on Ambival.net will probably continue ‘cos I’m workin’ on a ton of Halloweenie things in SL. I’ll organise myself sooner or later, I’m sure …
