hippie_chickI love October! But EEP! Can it possibly already be upon us? Where did this year go?!
And with the tenth month of the year comes my mom's and my tradition of "Halloween Month Movie A Night". Well not so much every night as I work more closings lately, but we'll do our best. For newcomers to my journal, mom and I screen one horror / suspense movie a night for the entire month of October, culminating in a showing of "Halloween" on Halloween.
Tonight kicks it off:
Oct 1:
An American Werewolf In London
I thought a good old werewolf (werewolf? THERE wolf!) movie would be a good start.
Directed by John Landis. Starring David Naughton and Griffin Dunne. Two college buddies on vacation wander the English moors and come across more than they both bargained for. The stunning makeup effects by Oscar winner Rick Baker make this one even better, and take what at times can be a thin storyline and make it worth your while. Some funny tongue-in-cheek moments too, that amuse.

Date: 2008-10-02 06:14 am (UTC)American Werewolf in London is really one of the best ever. I mean, it's not just a werewolf...it's a werewolf followed around by a ghost who looks like a mutilated corpse. That's good 80s horror, there.
