Something About Halloween
Wow, I probably haven’t seen such huge praise for a horror movie in a long, long time. Check out the trailer and let me know what you think.
If you’ve read anything I’ve posted in the past, you know that I complain a lot about horror movies that don’t take themselves completely seriously. It’s one of my soap boxes. Lately, though…I don’t know, I think I’m just grateful for the style, any horror film made by true horror lovers. They’re so sparse these days and I think it just makes me happy to get lost in overdone cobwebs and ridiculous amounts of fog, even if there is a part of me still craving for something more. What about you? Are you sick of these mixed-genre lighthearted horrors or does the sight of rubber masks and gaudy Halloween decor make you weird amounts of giddy?
It’s probably a nostalgia thing. There’s just something perfect and innocent about that bright orange plastic pumpkin we’d carry around from house to house collecting candy when we were small. The autumn breeze. Walking moonlit streets with friends, ducking behind bushes then jumping out to scare the girls coming down a driveway. It doesn’t get any more “youth” than that.
