#SpookySeason means shilling for #horror, and shill I shall.

Once upon a time, Peter Jackson was a puckish master of splatter, reaching his bloody apex in BRAINDEAD (DEAD ALIVE to the non-antipodeans). He mentioned restoring it years ago, but got distracted by Beatles. And extinct animals. And...

While other countries employed live narrators for silent films, only in Japan did katsudo benshi (活動弁士), or simply benshi, become a permanent fixture in silent cinema. The result was the birth of a cinematic tradition unique to Japan.

Once when there might have been silence, the voices of the benshi rang out in the theaters of Japan. Learn about this lost cinema art form.

Another #DoctorWho fave is when it goes folk horror for the first, but not last, time. THE DÆMONS is about an ancient evil unleashed during an archeological dig, the village that's affected by it, and The Doctor's attempt to stop it.

I was always a fan of Scorsese's only horror movie, that other surreal DiCaprio film in 2010 about spousal grief. I also felt a section was him purging SCHINDLER'S LIST from his system (he traded it to Spielberg for CAPE FEAR).

MR. SCORSESE was a rawer look at his life than I thought it'd be. Not scandalously so, though.

It was also an amazingly thorough look at his filmography... except with HUGO. I'm glad people are coming around to CASINO, but HUGO needs more eyes since it introduces kids to the history of cinema.

Don't forget: animal hospitals love your empty pill bottles since they're hard to keep in stock.
Tom Cruise's great as Lestat because he wanted to impress Anne Rice, who wasn't a fan. With Lestat going full-bi in the second novel, Cruise leaving wasn't a surprise.

The script's wonky because Neil Jordan did a wholesale, uncredited rewrite. Brad Pitt's weird in it because he hated being Louis.

Once upon a midnight dreary, the Goths of AEW broke bad, teamed-up, and became the Triangle of Madness. Julia Hart and Skye Blue, wraith and rose, are Sisters of Sin; the toxicity of Thekla seals the deranged trio.
