It's Time

Well, it finally happened. The weather changed. This weekend, it was relatively nice--low to mid 80's and plenty of good sun. But today brought a storm and a good cold front. Now it's 57 with lots of gusting wind. Perfect weather to kick-off a week of horror movies in anticipation of Halloween.


I've always liked horror flicks, but my years spent with Ronnie turned that into a true appreciation. So, this week I plan to slack-off every night and enjoy a horror movie.


Tonight, I start with a classic: Poltergeist. The early 80's brought us Freddy and Jason--the epitome of big-budget slashers. But the combination of Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper makes this comparatively calm movie really stand out. (not to mention that it's just a great horror movie)


So, the lights are off, hot chocolate in hand and it's time to fire-up the DVD player.

It's the movie that fucked up our generation with a fear of clowns. Love that movie.
