Laura and I hit up the Apollo tonight to check out Buffy the Vampire Slayer as part of their Apolloween horror film marathon.  I hold a special place in my heart for this flick, as I was obsessed with it when it came out.  A ten year old me started to love the horror flicks, as well as Kristy Swanson.  Big crush.  Huge crush.


Oddly enough this film always reminds me of Christmas, as I watched it late one night on Christmas Eve on CBC.  Everyone was out of the house to go to midnight mass, and I stayed home to watch the Buff.   That was probably the best present I could have gotten that year, well that and Nightmare, The Video Board Game.

Apolloween has started at Apollo Cinema.  A week long celebration of horror goodness.  Tomorrows matinee includes a 3D screening of this first Canadian horror film.  I have never seen it, and I don't know much about it and will be going in cold.  Looks like it'll be a wacky time.








UPDATE:  I just got back from this screening, and it was good fun.  The film itself was ok, but the dream/3D sequences were a total blast.  Really out there kind of stuff.  Great times.

When the Mask in the film goes on, you put this on.

A great new video from FNM.

 

Co worker pal of mine just sent me this link as a night cap to a busy work week.  Holy crap this is hilarious.  The attention to detail when it comes to the Circus Room blows my mind.  So funny.

From the people that brought me Miami Connection, and Roar, comes another lost relic.  This film will look great on a shelf next to Miami Connection and Samurai Cop.  Here is hoping Apollo Cinema will be screening this one soon.

Halloween is a couple of weeks away, which means its horror movie marathon time!  I am thinking of starting with this triple feature of killer car carnage.  Christine, Wheels of Terror, and Duel.  Coming over?

I thought it would be fun cutting in shots from Buffy's prom, into DePalmas split screen prom from Carrie.

I love my Serif Gothic Black font.

I always wanted to use this shot from They Live, and I finally got the chance for this trailer.

Here is the offical line up.
