October, Weekend One
Posted on October 6, 2008
Here we are, ladies and gents. October has rolled around once again. This favorite month of mine will be with us for 25 more days, and I plan to enjoy each and every last one of them. A special writing project I’ve decided to tackle will take up most of my time, but it’s all in the spirit of Halloween.
As usual, I spend much of my October weekends watching horor movies. I can’t dedicate as much time to flick-watching this year because of the above writing project, but I did manage to squeeze in a pair of great movies this weekend.
THE FLY (1986, Cronenberg version)
I spent a year of my life watching this and Aliens on VHS. That was twenty years ago though, and I hadn’t seen the movie since. I am happy to say this love story/thriller/gross out masterpiece still holds up. I really do need to go back and watch all the Cronenberg movies.
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (Original)
What can I say? This one’s a classic. It not only changed horror movies, but it inspired an entire generation of creators. If you haven’t seen this one, you’re missing out on a cinematic cornerstone.
The rest of October will bring more horror movies, as well as my short story recommendations. Let’s have some fun!

Two great movies, but I haven’t seen either of them in a very long time. I think it’s time to go revisit those classics, as well a few others I’ve neglected over the years. Thanks for bringing those up…
Glad to be of assistance!
