.:Hallowe'en:Horror:Project:. Day 31
FINAL DAY!
Watched: Two episodes of Kolchak when I couldn't sleep at 5am. "Mad Monster Party", "Nightmare City", "Halloween III", "Monster Squad" & the "Night of the Living Dead" 1990 remake. We watched a half an hour of "Arsenic & Old Lace" before we had to turn it off because no one but Jen & I were in to it. All in all a fantastic day of film watching & hanging out with great friends. Happy Hallowe'en everyone.

.:Hallowe'en:Horror:Project:. Day 29
Day 29: Werner Herzog's "Nosferatu the Vampyre." So good. I had no idea. The rats creeped me out. Holy crap. Also, I now have a crush on Isabelle Adjani. So beautiful!
NOSFERATU, INSIDE OF YOU & ME!

.:Hallowe'en:Horror:Project:. Day 28
Day 28: I have seen the glory of the coming of insanity. "House." Not the "classic" 80's haunted house movie starring the greatest american hero, but the Japanese film from 1977 about a bunch of school girls staying at an old house in the country with one of their aunts & the chaos the ensues. Holy shit is this movie nuts. Jen & I both watched with our mouths agape. It reminded us of "Survive Style 5", "Wild Zero", "Happiness of the Katakuris" & that scene in "Pod People" when Trumpy makes everything go nutty in the kids bedroom. This may be the film that I give my highest recommendation to so far for this project. If you dig horror & absurd comedy this is going to make you smile.

.:Hallowe'en:Horror:Project:. Day 27
Day 27: "Phantasm." One of my favorite films. This film, Dario Argento's "Suspiria" & Fulci's "Beyond" are the films I believe come closest to filming a nightmare. So good. Coscarelli hits this one out of the park. It's almost Hitchcockian how good of a movie he got out of so little. Truly quite an achievement. Angus Scrimm is amazing in this. I love that the lady version of the Tall Man let's Tommy "finish" before killing him. I can't tell if the aliens have some breeding program they are working on or it was an act of final kindness for a condemned man or maybe she just loves hillbilly baby batter. At any rate, what a fantastic film. Despite all of it's flaws it holds up so well & still maintains some scares.
