Oh, you sneaky Blogtoberfest, you almost got me, didn’t you?  Clever girl.  But I am not going to make the same mistake I did a few nights ago and scare myself

so much I’m sitting up and jumping and shadows.  No.  Today’s blog post is about the fun and/or campy Halloween movies.  Unfortunately, there is an evil clown in one of them, but it’s balanced by a gangsta Woody Harrelson.

Which brings me to my first move, Zombieland.  Zombies scare me but I watch ’em anyway.  It’s something about the apocalyptic, nomad type existence that happens after such devastation that I enjoy.  I like Zombieland because the lead guy isn’t a big ol’ tough zombie-killing hero, no sir.  He’s a scared little beta dude, running for his life.  “Double-Tap” indeed.  A fun film to watch with excellent zombie-killing sequences that make you think “I could do that”.  Let me tell you, I probably couldn’t.

 

Little Shop of Horrors:

 

Rick Moranis,  the mousy florist who hits it big with a “Mean Green Mother from Outer Space”, a plant that brings him fame and fortune but demands a lot more in return.  I’ve seen the 1960 version with Jack Nicholson but I do prefer the musical version with Steve Martin, Bill Murray, Jim Belushi as well as Tichina Arnold and Tisha Campbell as two of the three girl singers.

Son, be a dentist….you have a talent for causing things pain.

 

 

 

Ghostbusters:

Three words: StayPuft Marshmallow Man.  I laughed so hard when I first saw the StayPuft man walking through New York, like a sweet, but angry albino King Kong, that my stomach muscles hurt the next day. The whole movie is such fun. Annie Potts and Rick Moranis are both cute and hilarious as a quirky couple.
