I saw that movie in theaters with my mother and aunt when it first came out. A few months later, the first movie ratings system came out, and it was rated R. I of course was underage for it, so I felt a little as if I'd done something naughty. Honestly, I was so innocent/ignorant back then that I don't think I even really understood the demon rape scene. I knew that people were naked, but that was about it.

That's a funny story

It is kinda funny, isn't it?

Sounds like NYC is a great place to be at Halloween!

I was at the Columbus, OH, zoo, on Weds. They had an entire area crammed with walls of jack o'lanterns, elaborately carved as zoo animals. I took pictures of everything, but when I got home, they were all indecipherable blurs. I guess I got so excited by them that I danced around as I took the pictures, lol.

Cold, rainy day here, so just chillin at home with my honeybee...

Watched THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW (1980) starring Jeff Goldblum


Tonight, we will watch THE CURSE OF BRIDGE HOLLOW (2022) on Netflix

Tonight I have The Wicker Man ready to roll.

My brother and I carved pumpkins for ambiance.

It's a pattern year so no originals but you have to do it.

(The one on the right is supposed to be a frightened ghost, but all I see is Al Jolson.)

Those are great! Love your raven.

I didn't even know that Goldblum had made a Sleepy Hollow. My husband and I are currently viewing the Burton/Depp version.

I presume The Wicker Man is the first one? I used to have that on VHS, but never had it on DVD. Honestly, I bought it because it said it was a cult classic, but I was shocked by it. I wasn't prepared at all for the ending. I knew the Edward Woodward character was priggish, but I had thought he was genuinely heroic in his quest to save the child, so I was upset by his fate. The other thing I associate with that movie was my discovery that my tween or young teenage son had found it and watched it without my knowledge.

It's a quietly disturbing movie, one of the best of It's genre.

I'm a huge fan of Sleepy Hallow. Burton and Depp play well together, and Ricci gave Katerina so much depth.

I find that we put the Burton/Depp Sleepy Hollow on frequently during the spooky season, which I regard as a sure sign that it hits the mark.

Nice jack-o-lanterns!


I, too, watched THE WICKER MAN (1973) just this morning

I bet that haunted house will be thronged tonight! Enjoy!

Yesterday I watched my 25th anniversary DVD of Phantom of the Opera. It's a stage production, which I prefer to the movie. I followed it up with Hocus Pocus, a documentary on hauntings, and a cartoon from my daughter's childhood called Scary Godmother. We had Haunted History of Halloween on later.

Have a good year, you legend.
