HIPPIELUVN'S HALLOWEEN HORRORTHON 2016

[hippieluvn]

OK, so I thought I wouldn't have time to do it again this year because of my new job...

And the reality is this: I don't have much time for this endeavor, but also can't resist...

So I'll watch what movies I can over the next month and report what's going on...

Hope you all have a happy October and Halloween season

Tonight on Svengoolie, I'm watching...

[Murfreesboro]

So good to see you! Happy October!

[hippieluvn]

So good to see you! Happy October!

Good to see you, too

Today, I'm watching one of my all-time favorite classic films...

House on Haunted Hill (1959) with horror legend Vincent Price...

This time I have rented a digital version hosted by Lon Midnight

[Murfreesboro]

I have that one! I love the oldies.

[hippieluvn]

Tonight, I'll watch Young Frankenstein on the big screen

[Murfreesboro]

Oh, I saw they were doing that in Nashville, too. I probably won't go, as I have it on DVD (and I'm old enough to have seen it in theaters when it was new).

The DVD special features make the point that this film was really Gene Wilder's baby. It was his idea, and he wrote the first script. Mel Brooks was brought on board because he'd had a big hit with Blazing Saddles, and the studio wanted a big name to associate with the film. It was always promoted as a Mel Brooks comedy, but it was Wilder's more than Brooks'.

Tonight, I'm watching Sleepy Hollow on Freeform

Last night I watched Boo! A Madea Halloween

It had a few funny jokes, but don't waste your money...

This was my first Tyler Perry movie--not too impressed...

Very silly and too many racial stereotypes for my liking

[hippieluvn]

Today, I'll visit Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, GA...



Followed by a Pirate Festival on Tybee Island...



And then I'll return to Savannah for a ghost tour at sunset
