Day 7

 Here we are, a week down.


WOw, that first week went so quick.


Q&A

Favorite Old School Monster

    This is such a hard question to answer because each one had their own charm to it. Each actor was brilliantly cast for the role. I am fond of vampires so Bela Lugosi was an important figure. But in all honesty, the ones that stick out more were in a different category. So if I have to pick one it would be Claude Rains as the Invisible Man.


    I chose this because not only am I a fan of H. G. Wells, but also because it's so close to the border of science fiction vs science fact. I majored in science (albeit Environmental Science) but I minored in Biological Science. So the aspect of this movie reminds me very much of the Philadelphia Experiment. The plausibility that something could be rendered mad or in the invisible mans case, psychotic, could be based in science fact. And that is what the psychological thrill is all about.

Movie Night Title 

Zombieland 2: Double Tap


      This will be the first one one the list that I have yet to see. I love the old zombie movies so I would be willing to bet that this will be just as good as the first movie.

    So what's in store for the second week? I have no clue but it can only get better from here. Besides, Bob our mascot has officially graced his position for the year. However, he still has a card up his sleeve. If he wore sleeves, that is.

  We are under a week Almost there Q&A Carve Pumpkins or Make Pumpkin Pie     This is actually an easy question for me. I am not a big fan of pumpkin flavor so when I bake, it's usually cookies and cupcakes. However, I love carving pumpkins every year. The number that I will carve will depend on how I feel that particular year and how much other things I have to do. I try to carve as close to Halloween as I can, just to preserve the freshness of the pumpkins. I don't want them to wilt too much before the big night. This year I am carving two pumpkins. Mainly because I have been doing so much other work and building props. I have also not even begun to look for ideas as to what I will carving.  Movie Night Title Dreamcatcher      This pick is pretty much for the fact that I love Stephen King. I had started reading the book but got distracted with life and work. When I heard they were optioning the novel for the big screen, I had to finish it. So I binged the rest of the book

  Omg check it out One week left!!! Q&A Picking Apples or Hay Ride     When it comes to fall activities, some things are easier to do depending on where you live. I've always preferred hay rides to apple picking. Mostly because apple picking always seemed like a chore. Haunted hay rides were the best. It was the element of not being able to stop and focus on something long enough to determine what or how something was. They were a deciding factor in what I wanted to do when I grew up. Movie Night Title Pan's Labyrinth     Yet again, we have a new one. I have actually never seen this. But I have been told (numerous times) that I absolutely need to see it. So I guess this one was picked for me.

  Officially two whole weeks done! Just a tad over two weeks to go. Q&A Slasher or Psychological     There are numerous genres within the horror category but it usually comes down to these topics. They both have their perks. But between them, I usually lean towards the psychological horror. Don't get me wrong, I do love the iconic slasher movies. However, I like not being able to predict what happens. Having a twist ending or red herrings throughout the films draws me into the story a lot more. Being a writer, and a very analytical mind, I usually end up working out the mystery fairly well. So for those that can keep me guessing, they tend to rank higher for me. Movie Night Title Waxwork II: Lost in Time          This is another guilty pleasure. Apparently, I have a theme of Bruce Campbell and severed hands. It still remains one of my favorite movies just because it's not at all serious in nature, it has a superb cast, and there's an Edgar Allen Poe reference. So that&#
