Halloween, the high holiday for horror geeks, has no equal.  When is the science fiction fest?  Which day do comedy kooks celebrate?  Would there ever be a spaghetti western wingding?  No, horror is special; it's primal and emotional, tapping into the deepest parts of our psychology and yanking at those uncomfortable pieces we normally pretend do not exist.  Something this unique deserves more than a mere day of honor at the end of October.  I say: let Halloweentime last for six weeks!

Here, I'll record my thoughts as I watch a horror movie or three every day for the next forty-two.  Feel free to leave a comment or a movie-watching suggestion.  I have no particular movie plans for this season, though I'm off to Flint to catch some flicks for a couple of days in October.  I'll be up there first on the 11th for the It Came From The Local showing of free movies and then on the 20th for the 2nd annual Flint Horror Con.  Both should be a ball o' fun!

The leaves are already beginning to change, there's a cool breeze in the air and the scent of pumpkin spices can often be caught...

Six Weeks of Halloween X has begun!
