I have always loved TV. Even Canadian TV. I have a hard time finding US programs, months, even years, after they air. Here I am - to fill a void. Maybe. researchette.tumblr.com

It's Day 6 of Spooktober and today's new (to me) watch was 1997's Event Horizon which my son has has been hounding me to watch for a while. Good stuff, but I thought would be gorier. Sam Neill and Laurence Fishburne were cooking. Today's tee is a very classy tribute to The VVitch's Black Phillip.
A woodcut illustration of Black Phillip from the film, The VVitch. The text reads "Wouldst Thou Like to Live Deliciously?"

It's Day 5 of Spooktober and I've seen my first dud, 1955's The Beast with a Million Eyes. Its a microbudget affair about aliens taking over the minds of animals in order to conquer Earth. It predates The Birds with the animal attacks, but in short...Booooo! OTOH, here's one of my favorite tees!
A cartoon of an evil soda cup, popcorn box and hot dog carrying bloodied weapons and headed to an unseen movie theater. Above the three reads a banner which says "Let's Watch Horror Movies"

Day Four of Spooktober and my tee is a tribute to old friends at "What We Do in the Shadows" (Colin Robinson 4-eva). Today's new (to me) watch was Roger Corman's 1959 flick "Bucket of Blood" which was a real delight with dim-bulb murderer/artist Dick Miller and whole lotta beatniks.
The cast of TV's "What We Do in the Shadows." Now, in cartoon form. The text reads "Vampire family portrait...but not you Guillermo."

Day three of Spooktober and I went with my sweatshirt recreation of Danny Torrance's iconic sweater from "The Shining." No movie today, too busy being out and about.

Day 2 of Spooktober & today's tee is from a favorite of mine "Happy Death Day" and the weird school mascot, the Bayfield Baby. Today's new (to me) watch was Bryan Fuller's "Dust Bunny" which is a blend of "Leon: The Professional" and "Pushing Daisies" (ofc) with a helping of Sweetums, the Muppet.
A t-shirt which reads Bayfield University Babies from the movie "Happy Death Day."

Started the month with my 1st Halloween tee: candy corn ghost, (not scary, I love candy corn). I also watched 2 new (to me) movies: BACKROOMS (unsettling & creepy) and MOTEL HELL, which stars everyone's favorite standing actor, Rory Calhoun (tho, I question the cannibal villain's business model).
Closeup of a purple t-shirt which shows a cartoon ghost in the colors of a piece of candy corn. It's a candy corn ghost. Candy corn is great. Eat it with some salted peanuts together for a special treat!

A deep cut, but I loved "Less Than Kind" (on Tubi and Pluto) and check out this year's "Hate the Player: The Ben Johnson Story" which is a very silly docu-com about the infamous Olympic scandal.

@1089thehawk.com I saw this confusing and weirdly worded trivia question in my horrible off-brand card set. Any thoughts on the answer? It will surprise and, perhaps, infuriate you, as it did me.
Trivia Card question: What was the name of the big rock LP of the 1970's?

Possibly my favorite documentary ever is "June 17, 1994" (yes, I watch it every year on the day), which is simply the footage of that day in sports which also includes the World Cup, the NBA finals, the Rangers victory parade...and the O.J. Simpson low-speed chase. Perhaps, a sequel is in order?
