Well Ted in my book the Halloween season is officially here now.Time to start reading The Halloween Tree by Bradbury.Ghosts and gore will be the norm on most channels for the next month.Flesh Feast (a.k.a.:Time is Terror)is a movie that I wouldn't mind seeing.It was Veronica Lake's last movie befor her untimely death in`73.She was only 53 although rumor has it that she may have only been 49.Although I have only seen a couple of her flicks quite a while ago I still have a hard time picturing her as a mad scientist.I am wondering if she looked as good as she did in her younger days.If so she could be the hottest villianess ever.
Normally I'm partial to a good ghost story like......uh......Ghost Story.Or,perhaps,The Others.One of the all time ultimate ghost stories.Already a classic in my book.The scene where the little girl was in bed and started talking in the voice of the live boy really freaked me out.That's saying something because it takes a lot to freak me out.I once slept in a small Conferderate cemetery way back in the mountains on Halloween night on a dare bet so believe me when I say that not much freaks me out along those lines.That scene,however,made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
Another fave of mine that I hope someone shows this year is Sleepy Hollow with Johnny Depp along with Christina Ricci,Miranda Richardson and their....uh...er...lovelies.
While I'm on the subject of the Hollow movie I gotta give a plug for one of my fave actors/martial artists Ray Park who played the Headless Horseman.At least that is when he didn't have a head.Christopher Walken is billed as the Hessian but Ray played the fighting Horseman.I knew it was him the second I saw that style of Wu Shu.He also played Darth Maul on Star Wars:Episode One,the character of Toad on the X-Men as well as a few other roles.Special up yours to Imdb for not listing him in the credits on the Hollow page of their site.He is listed on his own personal Imdb page.
