It’s time.
Evening approaches. The sun is setting. It’s time to start counting treats and perhaps playing a few tricks. In other words, it’s time to put on your Silver Shamrock masks and gather around the television….
(Actually, its seem like Silver Shamrock would have more success if they had a bigger online presence but I guess they like to do things the old-fashioned way….)
Tonight’s horror scene that I love is from the underrated 1982 film, Halloween III: Season of the Witch.
In this scene, Conal Cochran (Dan O’Herlihy) explains not only the origins of Halloween but he also discusses how he’s going to make Halloween great again. This scene is probably the best in the film and it’s almost entirely due to O’Herlihy’s wonderfully menacing performance as Conal Cochran.
“….and happy Halloween.”

Hi there! Well, it’s the day before Halloween and that can only mean that it’s time for another edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film trailers!
1) How To Make A Monster (1958)
This movie, which involves the danger of angering a Hollywood makeup artist, seems especially appropriate for Halloween.
2) Halloween 3: Season of the Witch (1982)
This is a movie that generated some debate on this site just a few weeks ago. I happen to like it but I’m in a minority. What can I say? I’m a sucker for any film that features an Irishman destroying the world.
3) Hatchet For The Honeymoon (1970)
This film is from the great Italian director, Mario Bava.
4) The Toolbox Murders (1978)
This film is proof that you should never trust a man with a toolbox.
5) The Initiation (1984)
“They pledged themselves to be young, stay young … and die young.” Well, I guess that’s one way to stay forever young.
6) Night of the Zombies (1980)
Finally, how can you do a Halloween trailer post and not include at least one zombie film?
What do you think, Trailer Kitties?
