Oh, The Horror!!

As the Halloween weekend approaches, so does plans for my annual ‘Scary Movie Marathon.’ Every year, I plan out a healthy smorgasbord of horror flicks to watch, and try to get through as many as possible over the course of the weekend. I usually try, at some point, to make it through 24 straight hours of screaming, and blood spattered screens, but tend to nod off here & there. This year I plan to document the festivities here in my Bloda-Blog, and am enjoying every minute of the planning stages.

Today finds me taking an extended lunch break at work to head over to Walmart & Best Buy, to pick up a few more DVD’s to add to the collection. Not really sure what I’m gonna buy, outside of Miike’s ‘Audition,’ a great, screwy Japanese flick. My collection already has most of the classics, so I’m looking to pick up some obscure stuff, or some older flicks from the 70’s that I do not yet have. Outside of that, I have no idea what movies will end up coming home with me. Exciting stuff, eh?

I used to love Halloween when I was younger, and would dress up in elaborate costumes in attempts to win contests, a handful of which I did. From Freddie Krueger to Austin Powers to a guitar totin’ hippie-dude, I used to have fun dressing up & hitting the bars all decked out. Over the last few years, the appeal for dressing up and paying for overpriced drinks has diminished. I fully enjoy watching a full weekend of horror flicks at home, and it tends to be less taxing on my bank account. Just buy a few new horror movies per tradition….buy a case of tasty beer…pack the pipe and sit back & enjoy the bloodshed!

More details to come as the madness ensues once I leave work this afternoon…
