I love Halloween and everything related to October 31st. For as long as I can remember when the 1st of October arrives I begin counting the days til the end of the month. Even in my teen years I celebrated Halloween. I wasn't one of the those teens who found Halloween lame. How can anyone not love this day? From watching scary movies in the dark, to the decorations, to dressing up in costumes and I love handing out candy (I give out only the good stuff- chocolates!!). I especially adore the sweet little ones in their cute costumes wobbling their way up the walkway with mommy and daddy close behind. Some of them are so young I don't think they have a clue as to what's going on. The worst trick or treaters are some of the teens who show up without a costume. "I'm dressing up as myself" is what they say. The least they can do is make some type of effort, right? How hard is it to put on a frigging mask?! Regardless, everyone who rings our doorbell (costume or not) gets a treat, after all it's one day out of the year. If you happen to be one of those individuals who refuses to hand out candy to teenagers I urge you to watch the clip below:

It's okay to stand out from the crowd on Halloween!!
This past Friday the 13th AMC began their annual Fear Fest by airing non stop scary movies, mainly the Halloween and Friday the 13th franchises. I've seen each one a million and one times over but is there any other better time of year than now to watch them? On their website is a poll asking viewers to vote on what is the "Greatest Horror Movie Franchise."
Here are the Top 10:
Halloween (Two things I've never understood about this franchise: 1) Since bullets don't kill Michael Myers why does Dr. Loomis in every film (with the exception of Halloween 3) continue to shoot his gun at him? If one round of bullets didn't kill the maniac does he really think a second round or even third round will? 2) What was the point of Halloween 3: Season Of The Witch? )
Friday The 13th
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Saw
Child's Play
Night Of the Living Day
A Nightmare On Elm Street
Paranormal Activity
The Exorcist
Hellraiser
What's your favorite horror franchise? Did it make the above list? As for scariest film many still find The Exorcist to be the scariest of all time. The first time I saw this film I was scared beyond my mind and yes I do agree it's one frightening film but it's kind of moved down on the list for me. The Strangers and Insidious tops my list as scariest films.
Each year for my October 31st entry I post a Halloween themed song. I'm having a little trouble this year deciding which song to select. My usual favorites are:
Morning After Dark: Timbaland ft. Nelly Furtado & Soshy
She-Wolf: Shakira
Bogeyman: White Zombie
Pet Shop Boys: Heart
I couldn't think of any others nor could I decide what song to pick so I asked sister a few hours ago who replied, "the cute Colombian one." At first I thought she was talking about me but she was referring to Shakira. After a few seconds she changed her mind,"Pet Shop Boys. Choose their song, darling."
Also, it's a tradition of mine to post a Halloween cocktail. So in honor of this spooky day I present to you....

I like the Exorcist but it seems a bit slow when I try to pass it on to the youth of today.
Modern horror is just different.
The Exorcist is a great film without any need to put it in the scary category. If you see it many times it will frighten you less, but it's still a great movie. I remember that episode of 'Curb Your Enthusian' very well, Miss Princess! What do you think about men shaving their heads as a fashion statement?

That episode was hilarious.
It all depends on the person and the statement they are trying to make....
Favorite horror movie is the "Halloween" remake by Rob Zombie. Shit is disturbing and artful and awesome.

OMG I loooove Rob Zombie and despite the negative reviews I thought he did a great job with the remake.
While Halloween is quickly surpassing Christmas as the Holiday that the most money is spent on, much like the Yuletide season it has become a bit to commercialized. When we lived in Phoenix, we got between 1500 and 3000 trick or treaters a year, most of them Hispanic. It became pretty obvious, that this was not treat or treating in the regular sense, it was actually grocery shopping, where the rich white folks were giving free food to the poor Hispanic folks. It wasn't nutritious but it was edible.
What a material of un-ambiguity and preserveness of precious familiarity regarding unpredicted feelings.
