It’s my Bloggiversary and a Video for Halloween

It’s Halloween tomorrow – oooh, spooky – so here’s a video that’s been passed round Facebook and Twitter today. It’s actually a public information film, but is probably scarier than most full-length, hack-n-slash, flesh eating zombie flicks. Watching it again, I’m thinking the haircuts and clothes are even scarier than the weird, hooded figure. Ah, pity the poor souls who were children in the 70s, they’re doomed to a life of embarrassment every time the family photo album comes out.

Before I go – five years ago today I published the second post* on this blog – the first was on the 24th, but it just said ‘test’, so doesn’t really count. Anyhoo, my blog is now five whole years old. If it was a person, it would be tying it’s own shoelaces and going to school. Aaw, little blogs grow up so quickly. It won’t be long before it’s rebelling by refusing to publish new posts, only displaying emo tracks in my LastFM chart  and linking itself to unsavoury blogs.

*If you’d like to see the second post, it’s here – must have taken me hours to write it.

Suggestions for Halloween viewing

I’m a bit bored – Mr Blogs has a friend round who is very nice, but they tend to talk about rather dull things, which is odd, because separately they are very interesting. Anyhoo, to alleviate my boredom, I have compiled a list of films I would like to watch this Halloween.

The Omen (original): Does everything a good horror film should.

28 Days Later: I’ve seen this at least 4 times and it still makes me jump. Oh, and if you get this on dvd, do watch the alternative ending!

The Evil Dead trilogy: OK, that’s 3 films, but I’ll settle for any one. Usually, I hate zombie films, but I love these.

The Haunting (original): Black and white, but still super spooky.

Dracula (Christopher Lee): It may lack the style of the modern remakes, but for most people of my age Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing are Dracula and Van Helsing.

Carry On Screaming: One of my favourite Carry On films – the other is Carry On Cabbie. BTW, Mr Blogs bought me this film for Valentine’s Day, aaaw :-)

Nosferatu: OMG, that thing is creepy!

Dog Soldiers: Utterly cheesy, but I like it.

Well, that’s my list, but I’m sure there are others I could have chosen. What would you suggest?


Currently listening to: By the Way/Red Hot Chili Peppers
