Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone had a frightfully safe weekend.

Happy New Year!

...well eve, but that is when everyone really celebrates anyway. So here you go, this one is a little obscure. Since I have not run a competition lately, the first one to guess the movie wins a signed copy of both the Kolchak: The Night Strangler comic cover A and cover C. Enter by posting a comment with the title of the movie.

and a bonus sketch of zombie DIck Clark

(because once Jeremy Lewis mentioned it I knew it needed to be done)

Merry Christmas!

and Happy Holidays!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Top 7 Horror Films: #1

#1 Alien
Everything about this movie is brilliant. The movie poster, the creature and tech design, the acting, and of course the brilliant direction. One of the few perfect films out there.

Top 7 Horror Films: #2

#2 The Thing
I am telling you, I don't think another director has ever strung together a series of movies like John Carpenter did in the 70's and 80's.

Top 7 Horror Films: #3

#3 Psycho
Do I need to say anything about this one?

Top 7 Horror Films: #4

#4 Audition
This is the only movie on my list that I have only seen once, and it has nothing to do with the fact that I had to take a "silkwood shower" the last time just to feel clean again...nope not because of that at all.

Top 7 Horror Films: #5

#5 The Exorcist
Not to many horror films straight up scare me, but this one gets me everytime. Probably the only film on this list that if I watch it right now it will make me scream like a little girl... ya know in a manly way though.

Top 7 Horror Films: #6

#6 Halloween
(again to me this really includes both 1 & 2, they are so seamless in my mind)
As a kid I was a much bigger Nightmare on Elm Street fan, but I have to admit that this film has aged much better. As have all John Carpenter films up to and including In the Mouth of Madness.

Top 7 Horror Films: #7

In honor of Halloween, over the next week I will be posting a one a day countdown of my favorite horror films. Each post will go up at 11 pm.

#7 Bride of Frankenstein (in my mind this includes Frankenstein, because you can very easily watch them back to back as one movie. #6 will include the same qualification, can you guess what it is?)On the right day this list could easily be nothing but James Whale movies. Did I mention I like James Whale?

As a foot note, checkout Gods and Monsters
