Yeah, poor little lamb earning more in the next month than i will before retiring (before tax. I'm not working out tax )
Bloody hell, 5pm on October 31st and supermarkets are taking down the Halloween stuff to get more Christmas stuff on the shelves!
Allocating dedicated space in supermarkets for Christmas produce before at least November should be punishable with death.
Blame Corbyn...or the immigrants....I am sure the Daily Mail will...and the Express, but only if they can crow Princess Diana into the headline.
Because it is the one of the least effects-laden / visceral films of the genre ever made, while still being a trope factory ??
Most of the tropes were established long before Halloween was made, for example The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Black Christmas were both released in 1974 - four years before Halloween - and both of those used the tropes which are common in slasher movies. Yet neither of these films established the structure of a slasher movie, considering films such as Profondo Rosso, Blood and Black Lace, Don't Torture a Duckling, Bay of Blood and The Bird with the Crystal Plumage had all been coming out of Italy since the mid-60s.
Remember this one from the late 70's - 'Suspiria' - it was actually banned for while as I recall. Well worth a watch (from behind a sofa!) if you can find a copy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspiria
The tradition of beggars knocking on doors on the eve of All Hallows' Day asking for bread in return for prayers for the dead petered out in the 19th century. The Americans revived it in the '20s and it developed into the nonsense we have today - which we have adopted in the last few years (of course). Bloody Yanks
Suspiria has an absolute cracking soundtrack. Even if you don't see the film have a listen to the theme.
