What a week!

So, my plan was to spend this week watching horror movies and writing up all sorts of reviews and stuff and scheduling them for the October Horrorthon.  That’s what I do every year during the final week of September.  This year, though, the universe had other plans.

On Monday, around 4 p.m., I noticed that I was getting a sore throat and that I was starting to feel a little bit light-headed.  I figured it was either a cold or maybe a sinus infection.  Instead, it was the flu.  I spent most of this week in bed, running a fever, and coughing.  I didn’t get to watch or write half of the things that I had planned for.  Fortunately, I’m now recovering.  I wouldn’t say that I’m a 100% well but I’m definitely doing better than I was just two days ago and, more importantly, I’m at a point where I can once against start watching and reviewing films.  And just in time because …. IT’S OCTOBER!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN MONTH EVERYONE!  THE OCTOBER HORRORTHON IS HERE!  And we’ve got a lot in store for you, both here at the Shattered Lens and also at Horror Critic!  On a personal note, this is my favorite time of year and I can’t wait to share it with all of you.

Want to see what I did last week?  Click here!

Today, I was standing outside when there was suddenly a loud clasp of thunder, rain started to pour out of the sky, and a piece of hail bounced off the roof of my house and then struck me in the forehead!  OUCH!  Of course, being in Texas, the sun was shining the entire time.  Interestingly enough, the storm itself was over in 20 minutes.  As the sun set, the clouds in the sky glowed a deep red color.

This can only mean that October is quickly approaching and with it, our annual Horrorthon!  Horrorthon begins next Sunday and I can’t wait to celebrate everyone’s favorite time of the year with you all!
