A few years ago I compiled a list of some movies to watch during the month of October to get you in the Halloween spirit. I have added a few more movies to the list. Check it out and, as usual, feel free to chime in with some of your movies in the comments field.
Recently, I had the distinct pleasure of “meeting” horror photographer Lauren Freedman. A former local resident of the Hudson Valley here in New York, Lauren has recently departed to the Sunshine state, Florida, where I am sure that she will continue awing clients with her photographic skills.
Lauren was kind of enough to take time out of her busy schedule what with work and preparing for her move to answer a few questions so that we can all get to know her a little better and appreciate her work as well as herself as an individual.
They scoured the wandering crowd as they walked to and fro across the boardwalk, paying little to no attention to the birds. Scores of children pointed to a roller-coaster in the distance as it reached its peak some hundred feet above the ground before sliding down the steep decline that was sure to intimidate the bravest of souls.
HADDONFIELD, IL – In a fit of rage mental ward escapee, Michael Myers, lunged at a panel of judges where a local spelling bee competition for degenerates was taking place in Haddonfield High. The 54 year-old went ballistic when he understood that the word he was being asked to spell was “whore”, (W-H-O-R-E), which ignited thoughts of his deceased mother. Of course, the word was not “whore” but “horror” (H-O-R-R-O-R). Unfortunately for both Mr. Myers, and the judges, his hearing was obscured by the closed and probably rotted mask. Unfortunate for Michael because he lost his fifth straight spelling bee competition and unfortunate for the judges, well, because they’re dead.
Realizing his mistake, Mikey Myers did right by spelling the correct word then walking away in shame.
Mr. Grin hovered over the unsuspecting couple, his knife clenched with a firm a grip; its point wavering back and forth from the man to the woman, then back to the man.
It’s been five long years since Mr. Grin last surfaced. Now, he steps out the darkness for a self-portrait to savor the moment. A lovely couple is fast asleep just a few feet away behind the door down the hall, unbeknownst of the terror that awaits them. Sleeping, they will think it is a nightmare, unaware that it will be their last and that the blood would be real.
Mr. Grin makes his way down the long, dark corridor towards the bedroom. “Hello, world,” he says with a smile.
Based on a true story and a run time of 78 minutes, shot entirely using a Canon Mark II DSLR. It is also said to be shot in real time, but, shooting on a Canon Mark II, that is very doubtful. Still, sounds very impressive! Let’s see how long it takes for Hollywood to stick its nose into this one! Really looking forward to this one!
Plot:
Laura (Florencia Colucci) and her father ( Gustavo Alonso) settle down in a cottage which seems to be off the beaten track in order to update it since its owner ( Abel Tripaldi) will soon put the house on sale. They will spend the night there in order to start the repairs the following morning. Everything seems to go on smoothly until Laura hears a sound that comes from outside and gets louder and louder in the upper floor of the house. Wilson goes up to see what is going on while she remains downstairs on her own waiting for her father to come down. The plot is based on a true story that happened some time ago in a small village in Uruguay . “ La Casa Muda ” focuses on the last seventy four minutes, second by second, when Laura intends to leave the house which hides an obscure secret and she hopes to leave unharmed.
