Year: 2021

The Legend of Hell House is one of the last traditional ghost stories, before everything went to shock cuts and loud music stings and CGI beasties overtly killing people. Poltergeist, I guess, is the fulcrum point between The Haunting (1963) and the modern Paranormal Activities kind of stuff. Even in 1973, though, while the…

This is one of the earliest 'classic' ghost movies. I have to admit, it's not my favorite. First, I generally like some ambiguity in my ghost movies, and this has none. Also, I've never been the biggest Ray Milland fan. It's certainly not bad, but this won't make my list of favorites, that's for…

So Friday for the first time in two years (and I missed the last one, so it's been a three year gap for me) my old libraries friends and I had our Halloween party. I showed Ship of Monsters (ahhhhhhh) for the goofy first movie, and for the more series second film I finally…

Happy Halloween, everyone! This weekend watch something spooky--stupid is optional. Remember if you want a theater experience that Fathom Events will be showing The Invisible Man and The Wolf Man as a double bill nationwide tomorrow afternoon. Enjoy!

A few more days! Exhausted right now. I saw Ghost and Mr Chicken at the Pickwick last night. It was great, and upwards of 300 people showed up. I didn't get home until10:30, though, and that means I got less than five hours of sleep. ZZZZZZZZZ

Man, I love this stuff. How can you not? I'm sure we've used this one before, but I don't care.

I have to admit, I never expected a creepy moon looking down a woman's shirt.

Ugh, Monday. And too much stuff to do this week. Howl's Moving Castle tonight, a local showing of Ghost and Mr Chicken on Wednesday, a Halloween party on Friday, and then the Wolf Man / Invisible Man double bill on Saturday afternoon. Plus traveling to Texas next week for Nov 5th T-Fest. I'm going…

Friday! Yay! One week until Halloween. Amazon Watch Party tonight. If you want to join the fun, email me at ken@jabootu.com today. The movie starts at 9:00 EST, the watch party comment feed should be open about 15 minutes before that.

Wow, Amazon Watch Party this Friday, Halloween next weekend, and T-Fest the weekend after that. Busy time of year. Anyway, make sure to stop and eat an apple cider doughnut and watch a horror movie.
