Horror Roundtable - Week Eighteen

Describe your favourite Halloween tradition.
Not anymore, but every HALLOWEEN, when I lived in Illinois, I used to go over to a friends house and watch a couple scary movies we’d pick out. We’d load up on Monical’s Pizza first, though… I miss those years. For the past 5 years or so, I now really enjoy taking my business partners kids our trick or treating. It’s a great time and I really love those kids.
I drink a goblet of goat blood.
Mark - Exclamation Mark’s SciFi/Horror Review
Every year, without fail, I watch It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Sometimes I watch it twice, the day before Halloween and then Halloween night.
Flaming bags of poop…
Trick or Treating! The older ladies and soccer moms are really starting to get pissy though. “You’re taking the candy away from the children!”
Pathetic, I know, but I love watching Halloween programming like AMC’s Monsterfest and ABC Family’s special lineups.
I have a few faves that I dig out for the occassion which are more fun in nature than horrific such as FRIGHT NIGHT. However, I do try and buy a few new flicks that I have not seen and try to watch what the cable channels have going for Halloween.
Sometimes I miss it, but I always try to catch “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” on TV when I can. And it’s on tonight! 8pm on ABC! No, I don’t work for ABC. But it sets the mood for the next several days.
David Z. - Tomb It May Concern
Every Halloween I make double sure to send out presents too many of my friends. It is usually unexpected and saves me at Christmas when I normally get caught up in the family giftgiving and may miss someone. This year I found dollar store action figures from CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF (…a little Ollie Reed with a baseball bat??). Nothing says fun like HALLOWEEN GIFTS!!
Thanks to all the contributors for participating in this month’s seasonal roundtables. Make sure you visit their sites and see what goodies you can grab. And remember, no zig-zagging, wear your reflector, and only visit houses of people you know.
Yeah, right.
