Halloween Night Day 31 placard for the 31 Days of Halloween Horror Challenge written over a cemetery silhouette backlit by an orange-tint sunset.

My Letterbox Diary.

1. The Halloween Tree bridged Halloween ween and Halloween Day. It was good to hear Bradbury’s voice again.
2. Jack-O. I watched the Last Drive In presentation from Splatterween. Darcy’s right—it’s fun!
3. Idle Hands. Buried by Columbine, this 90s horror comedy masterpiece boasts Jessica Alba at her peak hotness, scream King Devon Sawa doing Lucille-Ball level physical comedy, and Seth Green with the face of 90s kids Elden Henson at their funniest, and true to life, like popeye’s spinach, Anton’s devil spinach saves the day! This is one of my all-time favorite movies that’s a time capsule of the 90s where everything works. I love every frame.

Seated on a couch left to right, Zombie Mick with a bottle impaled in his forehead, Anton knits 🧶, Zombie Pnub cradles his severed head in his lap as smoke comes out of his neck. Snack bags and soda cans litter the table in front of them.

Jessica alba in an angel Halloween costume dances at the school’s Halloween dance Offspring played.

More reasons to go to the @texastheatre.bsky.social this Friday: all of the great murals out front and inside, with that great dark carnival vibe.

Finally able to watch the 2nd half of #splatterween on #TheLastDriveIn with @therealjoebob123.bsky.social & @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social .
I was in high school in the early 80's.

NO ONE purposely drank Hamms, especially Hamms Light. What was their budget $12?

@haunteddrivein.bsky.social

Watched the Joe Bob Splatterween version of CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD and had a great time with it. Learning it was from the director behind TUCKER & DALE VS EVIL just made sense. The dialogue between Quinn and the other teens in the back half reminded me of BODIES BODIES BODIES. A fun flick.

Jack-O (1995)

Saw on #TheLastDriveIn Splatterween!

They took a Goosebumps episode, shove possibly the most gratuitous nude scenes I've seen into it & called it a day.

Would have enjoyed this at a Goosebumps episode length, not 90 mins!

Jack-O has cool pumpkin head but is laziest slasher ever!

249/365–‘Jack-O’ #TLDI #Splatterween The bottom half of a double bill that included Gwar intermissions! A Darcy fav, the backstory is even better than the movie, a slapdash of witches and curses and ‘Pumpkinman’ and, once again, generational conflict. 200 in the vault!

248/365–‘Clown in a Cornfield’ #TLDI #Splatterween Fun entry-level slasher made by the same guy who gave us ‘Tucker & Dale…’ Trots out all the marquee slasher tropes, but in a loving and almost sentimental way. Generational conflict at the end of a knife. Future staple

Clown in a Cornfield (2025)

Rewatched on #TheLastDriveIn Splatterween!

Ultimate OK boomer! moment because we finally get to kill them!

Good horror comedy - loved big & small twists! Weak plotting & pacing early drags it down. Once they get to cornfield, the film locks in & is really fun!
