I know many people have horror movie marathons around Halloween time; and many readers of my blog would most likely assume I'd do the same. The thing is, I watch so many horror movies all the time, Halloween's just another day for me. If anything, I go the other direction and try to stick to mostly non-horror movies this time of the year. After being bombarded with all the Halloween hoopla, I just get kinda of bored of it all. This time of the year is palate cleansing time.
When I was a young'un, however, I couldn't go a Halloween without watching Frank Capra's Arsenic and Old Lace: a Cary Grant-starring film about a couple of kindly old women who euthanize drifters. This horror comedy (emphasis on the comedy) is the closest I've ever come to a Halloween horror movie ritual.
