I'm sure everyone has noticed that OctJOEber is well underway.

Hold onto your pants. Or hats. He's about to double my annual output in a single month. He's the Steph Curry of October volume. The Lionel Messi of Halloween-time reviews.

It would be depressing for those of us struggling to sub a review here and there if the numbers weren't so damn comical.

I don't have to prove I'm refined - that's what makes me refined!

Good thing that Brian did a review this week, or my upcoming RotW would be: 1st place, Joe; 2nd place, Joe; 3rd place, Joe; Honorable Mention(s), Joe. Which would definitely give a strong boost to his placement in the Site King deal!

Good point.

Although... I'm pretty sure he had Site King locked up in June or something.

OctJOEber has a good ring to it. I can't believe I never thought of that.

Publishing horror reviews this time of year ranks among my favorite October activities, right along with making my wife roll her eyes when I cone home with an armload of cheap horror movies from numerous Halloween promo displays.

The only thing my milkshake brings to the yard is a subpoena.

I'm surprised those displays still manage to find many movies you haven't already purchased at this point. Most years, at least around here, the films on offer are all the usual suspects.

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

Sigh.

Fine.

For us. For them. For you.

It's been slim pickings this year for horror movies. I've mostly been getting a lot of the modern films I was reluctant to pick up in the first place, and whatever I missed before (I still don't have the original Fright Night, as I keep passing it up every year). The best finds so far this year were Gremlins 2 at Target for $5 and Frogs at Fun Unlimited for $4.
