Horror Theme of the Day: Halloween
I mean, honestly, what did you expect? It's the movie score of the day and my ringtone for the month of October three years running.
30 Rock - Do-Over
Blogging about 30 Rock is difficult because I love it so much that I can't even begin to have a sense of objectivity or perspective. Including watching this online before it aired and re-watching it on TiVo I've already seen this episode 5 times. I'm pretty sure that in my ideal version of this post I'd just copy the entire script and put my favorite parts (which would be everything but the commercials) in bold. Keeping that in mind... here are the things I learned from this week's 30 Rock:
Devon doesn’t even care when we should have cake for people whose birthdays are on the weekend… the Friday before at lunch.
Liz has gotten rid of all her Colin Firth movies in case they’re considered erotica. That man can wear a sweater.
That theme park fire didn’t destroy any of the stuff it was supposed to.
Rumors make a “ru” out of “mor” and “s”.
Liz entertains gentlemen sex guests once a year, maybe, but she’d be open to cutting that down.
GE is just G. Devon sold the e to Samsung. They’re Samesung now.
Tracy’s has a giant piece of bling that says "Dong Slayer".
Tracy and Liz go back like spinal chords and car seats. That's not an expression.
Kathy and Jack hug it out to Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch's “Good Vibrations”
Jack paid his way through Princeton by working that day shift at that graveyard and that graveyard shift at that Days Inn.
Kathy Geis wears Dora the explorer panties clearly made for an obese child
The best part of soap operas is when someone’s twin interrupts a wedding or someone pulls a gun at the fitness center.
Jack and Liz aren't the worst people. Graduate students are the worst.
Liz will make both of you disappear just like she did with Vivienne and Patch. She's just been paranoid ever since that incident with the weather machine.
Nerdy Jack-o'-lanterns!
It glows with the brilliant light of truthiness (and provides a nice thematic bride to the next few days when we'll stop thinking about pumpkins and start thinking about politics), the Colbert-o'-lantern!
The Onion - Has Halloween Become Over-commercialized?
I think it's time we all take a moment today to ponder the reason for the season.
Guinea Saurus Rex
This weeks South Park, "Pandemic 2: The Startling," was amazing and when I watch the following clip from it I have but two thoughts: 1) Mmm. Outback sounds so good right now and 2) Guinea Saurus Rex is totally the it costume for this Halloween. You bitches better get started on that last minute stitching... making a guinea pig inside a dinosaur isn't easy.

Horror Theme of the Day: Scream
This industrial theme from Marco Beltrami, titled "Trouble in Woodsboro/Sydney's Lament," is one of the most recognizable movie scores ever and a personal favorite.
Jason Goes Shopping
This fan-made film about zombie serial killer, Jason Vorhees browsing the local supermarket made me smile. In particular I love the moment he looks through home supplies and picks up a machete, that machete being scanned at the checkout and the dude IDing him.
Teen Witch - Top That
For those of you looking for last minute costume ideas... get a bunch of people together in ridiculous 80s garb and just reinact this scene from Teen Witch everywhere you go. It's one of the greatest moments in the history of cinema.
Indian Thriller
Halloweek wouldn't be complete without this masterpiece...
Girly man, man, man, man!

Horror Theme of the Day: Suspiria!
The score to Dario Argento's 1977 italian horror classic is unforgettable as is the film's famous hanging scene. Mad props to Kenny for introducing me to this movie!
