If I Were A Carpenter...

... I'd want to be John Carpenter.

For a while there back in the 70s and 80s, he had a run of GREAT movies, most of which have stood the test of time really well. There's horror, science fiction, and adventure. Even some romance and humor thrown in for good measure. I miss movies like these. 

 

 

 

 

One More Halloween Treat

 There are lots of Stephen King movies. Some are good, some are not-so-good. But one of the more overlooked and underrated ones is "Riding the Bullet" (not to be confused with "Silver Bullet"). I didn't catch it when it first came out but over the last few years, it's turned into one of my Halloween favorites. It's got some creepy moments, a good story, and really manages to capture the feel of this time of year. If you've never seen it, give it a chance. I think you'll like it.

 

Creature Feature

Back in the early 70's, one of the local TV stations showed a monster movie double-feature every Saturday night at midnight called "Creature Feature". For some reason, about the time I turned 8, my parents started letting me stay up by myself and watch these. In hindsight, I can't believe they let me do that but I'm sure glad they did. It goes without saying that the movies scared me to death but it was worth every terrified minute. I had GREAT parents.

Of course I loved all the Universal monsters - Frankenstein's monster, the Wolfman, Dracula, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, the Creature From the Black Lagoon. Here are a few of the others that made the biggest impressions on me at the time. They're still some of my favorite movies.

Another Comic Book Cover MY Way

 I've decided I just don't like white backgrounds unless there's an artistic reason for them. Here's another example.
