Trick r' Treat *review*

This October has been a weird one for me .....

It's my favorite time of year (bet ya couldn't guess that one!) and I'm normally participating in every little thing the holiday has to offer. 2009 however, has been way more productive than usual. Everything has been going great and moving really fast ... but that also means the work load has been upped by about 100%. So things like putting out Halloween decorations and going to haunted houses have been put aside this October.

So here I am in the mid-west, a place made for fall, surrounded by pretty orange and yellow leaves and NOT feeling Halloween. Or at least that's how I was until I watched Trick 'r Treat.

Hands down this is simply one of the best Halloween movies I've ever seen. It's the tradition of Creepshow but has it's own original story. The child actors in are particularly good and seemed to really be into it! Then you have the over all look of the film .... which is absolutely stunning and feel like a story book. Trick 'r Treat pulled me right back into the Halloween spirit and reminded

me why I love this time of year. I felt like I was 5 years old again .... so scarred that something was

under my bed but secretly hoping whatever it was, it would take me with it.

Trick 'r Treat is really one of those movies that becomes an instant classic in your home. I plan on watching it

again tomorrow night, while I pass out candy to the little trick or treaters.

I hope all of you have a fantastic Halloween .... and if your feeling a bit pessimistic, watch your

old favorite horror film.

A Test ....

Trying to sync this thing up with FACEBOOK ... which is interesting because I'm horrid with computers. :P

But while we're on the subject, feel free to "become a fan" a FACEBOOK and "follow" me on Twitter. I update + post new pics on those more than Myspace these days.

The Vampire's Assistant *review*

Greetings SCARS readers!

So instead of going to watch SAW VI this weekend, I opted for the movie version of one my favorite books.

The CIRQUE DE FREAK 12 book series has always been a bit underrated. It's one of the more original Vampire stories out there and I personal enjoy it even more than *gasp* Harry Potter. I was very excited to see it was gonna be made into a movie but worried on how they would approach it.

The story is odd in that it's geared toward the 12-15 year old crowd, yet it doesn't really deal with the normal clichés associated with the genre. Also the lead Vampire, Mr. Crepsley, is not an

easy character to peg and would require just the right actor. - And as much as John C. Reilly cracks

me up, Vampire, is not something that immediately comes to mind when I think of him.

Yet he and the rest of the movie pleasantly surprised me!

Unfortunately Universal Studio had an obvious lack of faith when it came to this movie ...

opening weekend and it was only housed in one theater. I also felt that I was at an advantage

having already read the whole series. The movie moved pretty fast and I think would be hard

to follow if you didn't know the story going in. I know they had to condense because there's

no way you could make ALL 12 books ... but the quality suffers a bit from the jump cuts.

(Maybe this will be fixed when it hits DVD.) The film is shot beautifully and John C.

Reilly makes an AMAZING Mr.Crepsley. Fans of book series have much to be happy about!

But I'm not sure if it's going to take off .... which is sad because I think there's a lot that could

be done with it.

:(

Next week I shall indulge in SAW VI and report back.

The Horror Business

Greetings SCARS readers!

So much as been going on in my life lately, I have greatly neglected my blog!

Late September/early October has proven to be very fruitful. There are so many new opportunities on the horizon and 2010 looks like it's going to be even more beautiful than 2009.

Yet there's something that's really been bothering me as of late .....

I've been working extremely hard at all this since I was 18 years old. Nothing has ever come "over night" or in just a week, month, or even a year. In order to have any level of success, you have to make certain sacrifices. This means not always going out on Friday night, not going to every show, not getting to see friends/family a lot, and NOT spending money on bullshit.

It seems I keep running into these would be participants of the "horror business" who have NO concept of commitment, sacrifice, or endurance. They want things to just fall into their lap in a week. When that plan inevitably folds ... so do they.

And these are the same people who will bitch, whine, and complain when YOU get something that they didn't. I don't know how many times someone has asked how I got to do this or that - only to act surprised when I tell them that I WORKED for it.

So it's like this: The horror business (or the "art" business in general) is not for everyone. Sometimes you have to take a little dip in to see if it's right for you ... and there's nothing wrong with that. What's wrong is KNOWING that you have no intention of doing what you've set out to do, yet still continue to ride the coattails of everyone around you.

It's brutal out there and you really need to be in this for the right reasons. Otherwise your just going to end up pissed off that you spent that much time on something you've grown to hate.

If there's one common theme to this blog it's DO WHAT MAKES YOU FUCKING HAPPY. Seriously if being a stay at home mom fills you with joy .. do it. If you want to work your way up the corporate ladder ... clime away. If living in the the middle of nowhere and never talking to a single soul ever again makes you feel at peace .... nothing is stopping you.

But whatever it is, you're gonna have to work for it too.

Deal with it.

It's called life.

STAY DEAD!
