From the original and still the best Halloween.
“Was that the Boogeyman?”

It’s Almost Time….
I hope everyone’s got their Silver Shamrock masks.
I hope everyone’s ready.
All across this great nation, it’s October 31st.
It’s Halloween.
It’s time!
Happy Halloween!
Scenes That I Love: The Silver Shamrock Broadcast From Halloween III: Season of the Witch
From 1982’s Halloween III: Season of the Witch.
It’s almost time.
Silver Shamrock!
Scenes That I Love: The Bees Attack In The Swarm
From 1978’s The Swarm.
“Bees! Bees! Millions of bees!”
“Bees?”
Richard Widmark can barely believe it either. Well, can you blame him?
Scenes That I Love: Nic Cage Meets The Bees in The Wicker Man Update
From the 2006 remake of The Wicker Man.
Actually, I don’t know if love is quite the right word. I’m actually kind of annoyed that The Wicker Man has gone from being one of the best horror films of the 70s to being known for the remake’s bees scene. That’s one reason why remakes, in general, are not a good thing. That said, for the record, I don’t like bees either.
Horror Scenes I Love: The Dead Rise From The Ground In Poltergeist
This is from 1982’s Poltergeist.
I love Craig T. Nelson’s delivery of the headstones speech. James Karen is staring at him the whole time like he’s thinking, “Is anyone going to say ‘cut?'”
Scenes That I Love: In Heaven, Everything Is Fine From Eraserhead
From David Lynch’s 1977 film, Eraserhead.
Just a reminder that, “In Heaven, everything is fine.”
And Heaven is apparently behind your radiator.
“But Lisa, what is the scene about?”
Well, according to Lynch, the whole movie is “a dream of dark and disturbing things.” Is that woman really living behind Jack Nance’s radiator and singing that everything is fine, despite the fact that there’s also a mutant baby in the apartment? She may be. Or she might just be a figment of someone’s imagination.
Perhaps it’s best not to worry too much about the how’s and the why’s.
Never stop dreaming.
Horror Scenes That I Love: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Finale
Today’s scene comes from the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which is one of the greatest horror films ever made. Needless to say, since this is the final scene, it’s a huge spoiler if you somehow haven’t seen this movie.
Enjoy, dance, or laugh maniacally. I leave it up to you.
Halloween Scenes I Love: Spider-Man Goes To ESU’s Halloween Party in PS4’s Spider-Man
Not all good Halloween scenes have to come from a movie. Sometimes, they can come from a video game!
One of my favorite missions in PS4’s Spider-Man is Back To School. That’s where you, as Spider-Man, have to search the Empire State University Halloween Party for an Oscorp scientist named Dr. Delaney and rescue him from Mister Negative and the Demons. Because it’s a Halloween party, you should be able to search for Delaney without anyone realizing that you’re the Spider-Man. The bad news is that, again because it’s a Halloween party, almost every party goer is dressed up like one of your enemies. And when Mister Negative does attack, it turns out that a drunk college student dressed up like the Rhino can be almost as dangerous as the actual Rhino!
A Halloween Scene I Love: It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Last night, I was so excited about watching It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown that I even missed the first 30 minutes of the World Series so that I could watch it! (Go Astros!)
I really love It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. (I even wrote about it!) There are a lot of scenes that I love in this special but I think my favorite moment is when Lucy, Charlie Brown, Pigpen and the rest are trick or treating. I love the spooky music in the background. I love that almost everyone’s a ghost and that Charlie Brown had trouble with his costume. And I especially love that, if you watch for it, you can actually see the rocks getting thrown into Charlie Brown’s bag.
Someday, Charlie Brown will get real candy on Halloween and Linus will see the Great Pumpkin. Until then, happy early Halloween!
