And since ABC didn’t broadcast It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown this year, here’s my favorite moment from that holiday classic:

“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.”
For your Halloween pleasure, here is Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death, as read by the great Basil Rathbone:

Happy Halloween!
If you’re having a hard time getting started today, why not have some coffee with Boris Karloff? From 1966, here is Boris Karloff for Butternut coffee:
Happy Halloween!
Enjoy!
Okay, everyone — one last trailer before calling it a night.
There’s currently a conspiracy theory out there that states that, since the late 80s, a cult has been murdering athletic, drunk college students and dumping their bodies in rivers. Supposedly, the cult’s calling card is that they paint a smiley face near every crime scene.
It’s a bullshit theory that makes absolutely no sense. The truth of the matter is that frat boys binge drink and are therefore vulnerable to stumbling into rivers, lakes, and creeks. It’s sad but that’s just the truth of the matter. As for the smiley faces — well, there are smiley faces everywhere. And seriously, if you’re a cult killing people in secret, why would you give away your existence with a smiley face? It’s really a dumb theory so, of course, there are a lot of people who believe it. Dr. Phil even did a show about it.
Anyway, it appears that the theory has inspired a film. Below is the trailer for Smiley Face Killers, which will be released on December 4th. Just in time for Oscar consideration!
Here’s the trailer for Parallel, which appears to be a film about …. can you guess it? …. parallel universes!
Here’s the trailer for Survival Games which looks like it’s some sort of mockbuster version of …. well, every film that’s been released over the past ten years.
I don’t know. A lot of people are probably going to get snarky about the cheap CGI and the apparent wooden nature of some of the performances but this looks enjoyably silly to me.
I personally don’t know if I would have the guts to call my movie Don’t Click but it’s a title that just lends itself to too many snarky reviews. You’re always taking a risk when toss the word “Don’t” into your title.
That said, here’s the trailer for Don’t Click. It has kind of a Saw vibe. Personally, I appreciate the three-piece of suit. If you’re going to become a professional torturer, you really should dress for the part. Seriously, never forget — dress for the job you want, not the one you have.
