Wish I could go to this brand-new horror marathon, but I've already got my ticket to the Camp Frida marathon. (With 5 October SoCal horror marathons, I guess it's now officially impossible to see them all.)

Anyone going and willing to post what they show? #horrormovies #halloween #mutantfam

Just heard that the brilliant artist and illustrator Drew Struzan died. I'm proud to say I own one original movie poster of his, although it's the 1977 Mae West vehicle Sextette.

If you need proof that Struzan's work could elevate any train wreck to become sheer beauty, here ya go. #drewstruzan

“Mom, can I get that Drew Struzan poster of Alice Cooper?”

“We already have a Drew Struzan poster of Alice Cooper at home!”

At home:

A movie poster of the Mae West film sextette, with various tuxedoed celebrities dancing across the bottom.

This will be my first time attending The Frida cinema's 12-hour all-night horror movie marathon, Camp Frida.

Are there any regulars out there with advice for a first timer?

Rick James: "She's a very kinky girl. The kind you don't bring home to mother..."

Producer: "Sexy."

Rick James: "Cause my mother is sex positive,
and they'd get along too well!"

Producer: "What?"

Rick James: "They're talking sex swings for four hours,
while I try to change the conversation..."

HALLOWEEN TIP: When choosing a first date horror film, make sure it's not porn. The following are NOT horror films:

The Pit & The Frenulum
Amityville 33DD
The Devil Blew Out My Backbone
Abbott & Costello Fuck Frankenstein
Something Wicked, This Guy Comes
