After watching Begotten, I feel like my phone is going to ring and someone will whisper "Seven days." If you thought The Devils was too p.c. & mainstream, you might like Begotten. It came out the same year as Honey, I Shrunk The Kids. Be sure to stay through the credits for the blooper reel!

Happy Anniversary to "UP."

"HE WAS LICKING ME!" Tonight's film was "Ravenous."

Leaving the land of oranges and a 6-foot rat with high-pitched voice to go to Los Angeles proper for an evening.

Happy Mole Day! From 6:02am to 6:02pm on 10/23, we celebrate Avogadro's Number. A mole is a measurement unit that is equal to 602 sextillion of a substance, like an atom or a molecule. Don't party too hard. It would take a while to clean up a mole of confetti.

Tonight's film.

Imperial Teen is all over me. They want to be All Over You, too.

It's like I'm back in Phoenix.

Your racist friend told me I should add They Might Be Giants to my vinyl collection.

Throwback Thursday. Back in 2018 at my condo, when I lived in Phoenix. And I'm wearing that same hat now.

Tonight's movie.

Listening to the new EELS album.

People call it the Canadian "Deliverance" ripoff, but I think it's its own thing. I liked this. It's dark and brutal at times.

First egg nog of the season.

Tonight's movie is "Misery."

I read "Easy Money," and now I've finally seen "Everyone Is Lying To You For Money." Great job, @benmckenzie.bsky.social I hope that now that this is available to stream more people will see it.

Hanging out at a nifty café.

Some spooky, atmospheric music.

Enjoying the 1-2 punch of Harry Manfredini's scores to Friday The 13th and Part 2.

Tuesday night flick.

Yeah, I know it’s childish, but I do feel the tiniest bit better.

Read up about the Bell Witch. Interesting. If you want the musical version listen to "The Bell Witch" by the band Mercyful Fate. 🤘

I smell like an apple!

So there are these 5 pages in Bram Stoker's book "Dracula"...

I read "Communion" and watched the fim. Interesting book, crazy bad movie. Lol. It's the most Christopher Walken performance Christopher Walken has ever given. At least he keeps it from being boring.

Throwback Thursday. Back in the day when I worked on a microscope all day.

Head like a shrubbery.

The joy of having a good film club membership at @thefridacinema.org, I spent 5.5 hours there tonight seeing one of my favorite horror films and then going right in to see a documentary on Bea Arthur with a Q&A from the director after.

So the leader of my country invited Iran to wipe out where I live.

Tonight's flick is the 1985 made-for-tv movie "The Midnight Hour."

This was interesting. I've only seen "The Exorcist II - The Heretic" once, back in college with friends. We laughed in confusion and joked about the "locust cam" for weeks. This documentary makes me...understand things a little more.

When you discover that Michael from "The Lost Boys" is the son of the guy who exorcised Linda Blair, and the grandson of the guy who chased the Bandit around.

Get To Know Me - The Musical! My 9 albums #my9albums

Trying to make Sunday morning punk rock. I don't know which I need more--a haircut or coffee.

A late afternoon werewolf flick. "Silver Bullet."

Read the book then watched the film. Not bad. Was hoping for a supernatural element, but it's more of a whodunnit in the way of "Scream" and "Thanksgiving." And I feel old (and apparently bad because of my age) after reading/watching this.

Spooky listening material this morning. The scores to "Don't Look Now" and "Alice Sweet Alice."

Caturday. Post-breakfast, Domino goes out to survey his kingdom while Beaker & I curl up on the sofa to wait for him to want back in. Beaker is the sweetest cat I've ever known. I can pet her w/my bare foot & not pull back a bloody stump. We were like this for an hour. She puts her paw on my cheek.

I got some culture tonight at the theater...seeing a stage production of "Night of the Living Dead." Fun times.

Listening to the score to "Halloween III: Season of the Witch." I already had an older copy, but when this release, I had to get it. It has such fun packaging.

Tonight's feature has a guy in it named Michael. They say Michael's name a lot, but I don't think Michael minds because Michael just wants to be accepted for being who he is--Michael.

I just finished "A Night In The Lonesome October," and it was fun. Some people read this every Oct. because it has 31 chapters that correspond to the days in the month. It's told from the perspective of Jack The Ripper's dog. Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, the Wolfman and others make appearances.

The theory is that "Stand By Me" & "The Lost Boys" are in the same universe. After the events in "Stand By Me," Ace Merrill runs away from Castle Rock, OR and winds up in Santa Carla, CA where he runs into a vampire. After being turned into one of the undead, he changes his name to David.

Spot and Squirrely Jay have such sights to show you. Hopefully the neighborhood kids won't be too put off by Pinhead and the Chatterer from "Hellraiser." I had fun doing this one. I grin when I look at these two. 🙂

I recently read the Dean Koontz book "Watchers" and watched the movie made that was based on it. Great book. If you love dogs, you'll enjoy this. Far less horror than I expected. As for the movie, oof. Corey Haim was popular at the time, and it feels like someone said, rewrite it for Corey.

This is Spot & Squirrely Jay. Spot is a stone statue left behind from the last owner of my home. Instead of throwing him out, I decided to paint/decorate him for holidays. Halloween is usually my favorite of the year to do this. I'm almost done with this year's look. Here are some previous ones.

It's Monday. Cue the Bernard Herrmann music.
