Look At Me I'm Leatherface

If you’re on Facebook then you’ll be familiar with my yearly October tradition of posting the most fanciful, cheery and entertaining clowns every day as my profile picture. I like to think that I’m adding a creamy dollop of sunshine to someone’s otherwise dreary day. I also think that I’m helping people deal with debilitating cases of Coulrophobia by familiarizing them with the wonderful circus scamp responsible for so much childhood laughter. I’m kind of like Dr. Phil in that regard. The other reason I do it is because Halloween is rapidly approaching and everyone knows that you can’t have Halloween without some clowns gaily skipping down the street and looking in your windows.

Of course watching scary movies goes hand in garbage disposal with Halloween and, thus, I will begin my celebration of the greatest of holidays with a viewing of Ju-On. I’m hoping to watch one horror movie every day and marathon a few only to culminate the experience with a screening of The Descent just prior to the premier of The Walking Dead. This is my mission and I will disembowel anyone who seeks to prevent me from attaining its gory success. Unfortunately I will be enjoying the splatter and terror all on my own as my wife isn’t a big fan of the genre and my kids are wusses. My eldest got through half of the opening credits to Zombieland before she had to tuck tail and run. In the video below, the greatest parents in the world’s kids obviously don’t have the same problem. I have to give mom and dad mad props for really putting the severed head on their viewing experience the next morning.



You know you’ve done your job as a parent when your kid asks, “What’s wrong with you?” Bravo.

Another reason to not be on Facebook.

Horror movies...*shudders* Enjoy yourself with that. I'll be falling over myself to get to the nearest exit.

Wholesome family fun for only the cost of a blind, a new mattress & bedspread and a couple of pairs of junior underwear. Magical.

We really do need to bring horror back into the lives of children. My little sisters don't watch horror movies at all. Hell, at the youngest one's age, I had already seen every Nightmare on Elm Street movie & took up collecting those sweet Puppet Master figures.

Yay horror movie month!

HA! That video actually originates from an "America's Funniest Home Videos Uncensored" VHS which was sold via TV infomercial around 1999-2000 and was hosted by a down on his luck and clearly unamused Steve Carrel. I know this because I used to own a copy. Obviously.

Stacey, that doesn't surprise me in the least.

My father fostered my horror watching efforts until I turned to my first religious horror film, The Exorcist, without his permission. He literally beat my ass till I couldn't sit through the film if I wanted to. While I recovered, he took the video back to the store and closed our rental account.

Now, I watch crap like The Human Centipede: First Sequence and A Serbian Film just to get a rise out of the old man. Serves him right for punishing me for the habits he encouraged. Mixed signals are bad parenting.

My g/f and I host an annual October Movie Marathon every year. This is the fourth. One scary movie a night for the whole month.

I love it. She hates/loves it.

I have long black hair, and I used to scare my brother by waking him up using my hair to tickle his face.

There's a local Halloween movie marathon they do at an arthouse theater. On the list of films, I saw "A Serbian Film". Despite the fact that just seeing the movie listed made me die inside a little, I kind of want to go just to see the audience reactions. I sat through it once. I could probably do it again if I tried really, really hard.

Over the weekend I dug out all the horror DVDs and Blu Rays. Then put away all the ones that we watched last year or may not be completely appropriate. And was still left with over 40 movies. Last night we started "Dog Soldiers" and the kids really liked it. My goal is to get through at least 2 a week culminating with the traditional viewing of Sleepy Hollow, Dawn of the Dead, and Trick or Treat on Halloween. Also planning to watch The Descent, The Thing, The Devil's Backbone, The Changeling, The Shining, and Christine. Unfortunately due to time constraints we are stuck watching half a movie a night.

Man, I LOVE October!

My kid watches more horror movies than I do. One of the highlights of her year is when she visits her grandparents in the summer...because they get the Chiller channel on cable and we don't have it.

She watches some real dreck. Sometimes we watch it together, but usually I get bored by the inevitable scene where the cellphone dies/loses signal/is forgotten. That scene is in EVERY single modern (cheesy) horror movie.

I know what my kids are getting for Halloween now.

That video is both wrong and hilarious.

It's wronglarious.

Is it wrong that I'm singing "look at me, I'm Leatherface" to the tune of "Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee"? I didn't think so.

The Descent is awesome, and has some great box art (women form a skull)...have The Descent 2 downloaded but haven't watched it yet...my Halloween is now planned!
