Tonight's the Night

My favorite holiday even though its marketing cycle ended two weeks ago. Once I donned costumes and cut the rug with a group of my peers. These days my celebration is quieter. In select company I watch a series of horror films. I've had Argento-Fulci-Bava night all week.
Today I dig out the monochrome classics ranging from James Whale and Val Lewton to Les Yeux sans Visage and Nadja.
I was excited when I found Fulci's The Black Cat for two bucks and set it aside to watch last night. All I'll say is that it's no Don't Torture a Duckling.
Please excuse my week's absence. A comment on Gus van Sant's Paranoid Park will be posted later today. happy halloween
