I've decided to start Halloween earlier than I'd originally planned having managed to finish today's workload ahead of schedule. I'm currently watching E4's terrific Charlie Brooker-penned zombie show Dead Set which I've been recording all week and have a pumpkin to carve a little later and the new DVD of A Nightmare Before Christmas to check out. Not sure which film I'll watch tonight but I figure it might have to be Carpenter's Halloween. Predictable I know, but on today of all days I think that's allowed.

Our Halloween do has just wrapped up. Decorated, pulled all the Burton gear out to the living room, and on the TV (albeit without sound; made a playlist which went on all night) were Herzog's Nosferatu, Bride of Frankenstein, Sweeney Todd and Suspiria.
Awesome. 'Twas a good one indeed. Also compiled a scary movies quiz for work today... How I wish we actually celebrated it here properly...
Happy carving!
Ta! That sounds like a damn good list.
Happy Pumpkin Day!
I do watch TNBC every years, but not for halloween. It usually plays on my TV when I'm doing my Christmas tree!
It's gonna be an Halloween Party for me, dressed up as a french pirate (coz my parrots speaks french obviously!)
I normally hold off on Nightmare till closer to Christmas as well but this year I figured I'd do it a little differently...
Talk about a release fail: the Nightmare special ed. DVD released here a week ago, but the blu isn't out til Wednesday. Dumbness.
Meanwhile, two glorious moments of audio/visual synchronicity occurred last night: Nouvelle Vague's atmospheric rendition of Bela Lugosi's Dead during a Kinski-heavy scene of Nosferatu, and, most mind-blowingly, Boingo's Weird Science during the creation scene of Bride of Frankenstein. Wonderful.
