I Heart Horror: The Resurrection!

Pardon me fiends.   I have been away for so long.   It has been over a month since the last I Heart Horror article I wrote.   The month of October was crazy for me.   I tried to watch a horror movie everyday in October and make a video  review for that film and post it through DESTROY THE BRAIN.   Let’s just say, it did get to October 11th.   I did see more movies than 11, but I gave up posting the rest and the fact that I went on a week’s vacation out to California didn’t help matters.   Oh well, there is always next year.

How was everyone’s Halloween?   I finally saw ‘Trick ‘r Treat’ and it has now joined the group of films that I will watch every Halloween which are ‘Murder Party’, ‘John Carpenter’s Halloween’, and ‘Lady in White’.   By the way, I really hate that I have to put “John Carpenter’s” before ‘Halloween’ now due to the abomination that Kirk and I don’t want to mention.   However, I guess I kind of mentioned it already huh?   Damn it.

Instead of giving you a big huge article this week, I would love to share some things with you that I went through in October…

‘Paranormal Activity’ didn’t live up to the hype for me.   I’m super glad that I didn’t go with Kirk & significant other up to Chicago to see it.   I’m sure it would have been a good time nonetheless, but I would have been kind of ticked after driving 4+ hours out of my way for something that would have been better as a YouTube video.   Also, after seeing the original ending (which hit the net pretty quickly due to previous festival screeners), Spielberg did the right thing on changing the ending as it was the only part that my girlfriend and I found startling or scary.   However, I envy people that were scared from the film.   I can honestly say there are not a lot of films that do that on a massive mainstream scale.   I am a big fan of ‘The Blair Witch Project’ and it is the only film that has made my heart skip a beat.   However, tons of people hated that film when it came out as well.   Sometimes I will just be alone in my opinion.

The Wednesday before Halloween, my girlfriend and I were at Universal Studios Hollywood and we had the pleasure of attending Halloween Horror Nights.

Here is very RAW & shaky video on me entering into the Halloween: The Life & Crimes of Michael Myers.   One thing to note, in the window, there was actually a silohette recreation of Michael murdering his sister.   I thought we were going to be in the line longer, but it was a short 3 minute wait.

As a big Halloween fan, this was one of the main reasons I wanted to attend the Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood.   The attention of detail inside the house was amazing.   Actors playing Myers were able to trigger the sound of the infamous HALLOWEEN sting when popping out of the closet or out of doors.   Walking through this maze was their best – I could be bias – but it seemed like I was walking into Carpenter’s Halloween.   They even nailed the lighting.   Simply amazing.

Anyway, I’ll be back next week with an article.   Sorry if I disappointed anyone with this post, or the fact that I came back.
