Halloween Movies 🎃

He also "hammed" it up on his cooking show.

The show led to a cookbook.

Which led to food endorsements.

Nothing says "gourmet" like a big dish of macaroni and Spam.
 
I forgot that he was a gourmet cook.
I'll bet it would have been sidesplitting to have him and Julia Child do a show together. Can you imagine?.....😂😂😂

Apologies if I posted this previously. Younger members will find it hard to believe, but once upon a time, this classic was almost impossible to see; now it's free on YouTube for anyone to enjoy:
One of those rare movies about which it can be said "the more times you watch it, the better it gets!". Best seen with friends, though.

Or strangers, for that matter.

It's that terror begot by quiet, creeping menace that becomes increasingly palpable. 😬😬😬

Meaning the current viewership of the genre (at least as far as the perpetrators of it believe in their troll-like silica brains) would fall into a boredom coma after about five seconds, as they need to be sledgehammered about the cranium with a thrill-a-second (as a guess).
 
Yep, squared and cubed.

I'm on a woodworking forum and we were discussing Hitchcock movies.
The OP said he and wife (they are in their 60s) wanted to show a younger friend (woman, 45) a Hitchcock movie because she had never seen one,.
So the discussion was about which one would be a good intro to "Hitch" ...until we found out:
1) It has to be in color (she won't watch B/W movies)
2) It can't have Jimmy Stewart in it (she doesn't like him)
3) There has to be a lot of action (she's "mostly likes" and almost exclusively watches the MCU/ super hero genre of movies.)

*sigh* OK...what does that leave us to recommend? Not much.
I don't know which movie was decided on as the OP has not gotten back to us about that, or the result.
But I am not hopeful...probably an "epic failure", i.e., no Hitchcock convert , even if she managed to sit through the whole movie....which she probably didn't.
 
Movies I also watched tonight:

House of Usher - I’ve seen this one before but was in a Poe mood
Curse of the Crimson Altar - this one was kind of meh but I liked it for Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee (two of my favorite actors) being in the movie together
 
Movies I either have watched or plan to watch this month:
  • Tucker and Dale vs Evil (one of my fav comedy-spooky movies)
  • Return of the Living Dead
  • 1408
  • Hocus Pocus
  • Halloweentown (on of Sarah's favs - I am not that huge a fan but I watched it in her honor)
  • Christine (first watching this and it was awesome)
  • Casper
  • The Exorcist (2000s remake)
  • Zombieland

There may be more yet to come, but October is almost over.

EDIT: I also watched Return of the Living Dead II (not nearly as good of a movie, but entertaining)
