features one of the most commonly known dances in the world... and it's just so fitting for this time of year! So here's a post to my favorite "spooky" song and one of my favorite performers of all time. With with a short post today, here is the whole Thriller video. RIP MJ.
Yesterday, I posted a list of movies I love to watch around Halloween. That list probably only containes less than 1% of the horror movies that I've actually seen, and to me, the most important part of a horror movie is the acting. You can have a "Scary-As-Shit" movie, but have it ruined by horrible acting. Unless it seems real, I'll get bored with the movie very easily.
I've kept up with the newest season of Scream Queens on VH1. It's ended for the season, but I loved the concept. So, to keep this post fairly short, Here is the top 2 movies with the greatest acting, in my opinion, and I'm going to give my cheers my favorite "Scream Queen"- I mean, you never see horror films / actors get nominated at the Academy Awards, so I'm going to recognize them here:
Paranormal Activity seemed completely real to me. Both of the actors were down to earth, real. This movie is definitely at the top of my list of good actors.
And the top it off...
When I watched Quarantine in the theater with my folks, I thought to myself, this lady is the greatest actress I've ever seen. I really don't even like the movie that much, but she blew me away. Jennifer Carpenter is the actress, and it amazed me how she could scream her head off, act horrified and all shaken up, and still make her performance believable. She is my nomination. To me, she is THE Scream Queen. You may also know her as Emily Rose, from her performance from The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
Because it's Halloween, and Halloween happens to be my "favorite" holiday, I'm going to post something every other day or so that pertains to Halloween / Horror. On Friday, my first podcast will be updated, so you'll be able to download that- instructions will be posted later for those who don't know how to subscribe.
Anyway, since I consider Sunday to be the first day of the week, unlike the rest of my friends, I'm going to post my favorite movies I love to watch during this time of year. This will be a short post- just basically a list of movies you should watch this week... Actually, this will be more like a schedule of movies I'm going to watch this week... oh well, it's all the same to me.
Day 1, Sunday 10/24
I find it best to start with a true Halloween movie. So Halloween, the original, is going to be my choice of movie this week.
Day 2, Monday 10/25
I will pop in the newest Friday the 13th. I don't want to watch all the good ones at first... this one is just a fun watch to me.
Day 3, Tuesday 10/26
The Ring 1 and/or 2 will most likely be my choice of movies to watch this day.
Day 4, Wednesday 10/27
There's this movie, Trick 'R Treat that I bought a while back.. still haven't watched it, but Wednesday sounds like a good day to do just that.
Day 5, Thursday 10/28
Well, today I have a whole day off practically. Only one class, so I'll be able to watch a few movies. My choices? Scream 1, 2, & 3. Enough said.
Day 6, Friday 10/29
The family is coming in Friday to celebrate Halloween... So I'll probably be watching what they want to: Sleepy Hollow. This is one of my all time favorite "Halloween Themed" movies. It's creepy, scary, and the cast is great.
Day 7, 10/30
My family and I are going to be carving pumpkins on this day... So to keep with our traditions, we are most likely going to be watching Practical Magic, Hocus Pocus, and Halloween: H20.
Day 8, Halloween
I always have the worst times picking out the right movies to watch on Halloween... Nevertheless, no matter how much I fret about it, I always choose the same damn movies every year: Halloween, the original, Halloween 2, 4, 5 and Resurrection, and I'll end the night with the scariest of all, The Exorcist. You may be thinking how I can fit all of these movies into one day? Well I just put them in and let them play from when I get up to when I go to sleep.. I just let the roll even when I'm not actually watching them.
