HOKUM

Saw this gem of a horror film on Saturday and I keep finding myself thinking about it.  Saying this movie has atmosphere is an understatement.  I was already in love with the film by the time I spotted some delightfully crabby jack o'lanterns above a hotel entrance.  Turns out the film is set during the Halloween season (an added bonus).  Carved turnips and small squash abound.  

Adam Scott was brilliant and I can't imagine another actor in the role.  So glad I saw this in the theater too (was planning to wait for it to stream).

Happy Birthday, Antonio Bay

Another birthday for that special little town founded on the deliberate sinking of a ship of (wealthy) lepers trying to better their lives.  In their defense, the lepers DID plan to move only a mile distant to their cozy little village.  I mean, sure they could have rejected their offer and told them to move elsewhere.  But there was all that gold in their ship.  And that would have helped their village form a charter and blossom into a real town.  

John Carpenter's THE FOG is still the most perfect Ghost Story.  And April 21st will forever be honored as the birthday of the fictitious town of Antonio Bay.  Founded on the principles of deception and murder.

Trailer: Keeper

I was late seeing this one.  But since watching, I have found myself thinking about the tale and the creatures featured in it.  I know it got mixed reviews, but I found it pretty interesting, and definitely creepy.

Trailer: Terrified

I'm really late to this one.  Watched it last night and can't believe I never hear anyone talking about this 2018 horror film.  Thankfully the trailer doesn't give too much away, but it was genuinely scary with some of the creepiest ghost moments I have ever seen on film.

Happy Birthday, Antonio Bay

Suddenly, out of the night, the fog rolled in. For a moment, they could see nothing, not a foot ahead of them. Then, they saw a light. By God, it was a fire burning on the shore, strong enough to penetrate the swirling mist. They steered a course toward the light.

But it was a campfire, like this one. The ship crashed against the rocks, the hull sheared in two, mars snapped like a twig. The wreckage sank, with all the men aboard.

At the bottom of the sea, lay the Elizabeth Dane, with her crew, their lungs filled with salt water, their eyes open, staring into the darkness.

And above, as suddenly as it had come, the fog lifted, receded back across the ocean and never came again. But it is told by the fishermen, and their fathers and grandfathers, that when the fog returns to Antonio Bay, the men at the bottom of the sea, out in the water by Spivey Point will rise up and search for the campfire that led them to their dark and icy death.

Trailer: Oddity

My highest recommendation for this gem currently streaming on Shudder.  Oddity is everything I needed a modern horror movie to be.  We watched it last night and it was delightfully terrifying.

And Scary Ghost Stories

To Fire You Come At Last - a 46-minute ghost story currently streaming on Shudder.  We watched this tonight and it was a perfect horror film, beautifully shot and brilliantly acted.  I hung onto every minute of it, wondering how it would end.  And unlike so many horror films these days, it didn't disappoint.

Apparently, Shudder is releasing one of these each December as part of their The Haunted Season series (would have been better to release more than one, but I'll take what I can get).

ScarePros Halloween World

We took a trip to see the year-round ScarePros Halloween store in Levittown, PA.  It's a place to get your Halloween fix any day of the year you so choose.

The Living Dead Museum

After taking some photos of the zombie on the outside of the Monroeville Mall, we ventured inside to The Living Dead Museum.  Walking through the same spaces where Dawn of the Dead was shot was a very neat experience.  I tried to imagine Romero filming in those giant empty spaces.  And tried to picture motorcycles driving through there at some point back in 1977-78.  And of course - the zombies.

The museum is at the far end of the mall, right above Romero Square.  Tickets were reasonably priced and the items within were fantastic.  Loads of historical facts and artifacts relating to Romero's films, and other zombie-centric movies.  And a wall of autographs (and bloody handprints from their signers) - the Maul of Fame.

If you're ever in Pittsburgh, this museum is definitely worth the trip.
