10 year anniversary...wow! Time flies man...

[hippieluvn]

vampires are by-far my favorite monster of the horror genre salem's lot (1979) is still my all-time favorite vampire movie because of the way it scared me as a child and that version of stephen king's vampire master barlow is my favorite vamp he was one mean sob

[hippieluvn]

on another note, yesterday evening i saw paranormal activity again







after re-watching, i would say it is definitely another halloween classic

[Midnite Shadow]

I can't wait to see that movie...

[adrian]

i haven't seen it yet and i'm DYING to

[iHaunt]

I saw Salem's Lot when I was 10 year old and I was very scared of that movie. But now I'm not afraid because I'm grown adult.

And, I am dying to see that remake! I will check it out with Netflix soon.

Besides finishing up my horrorthon and beginning to watch AMC's FearFest, I plan to attend six Halloween events between now and the big day

Part of the series Kevin Geeks Out, October's Vincent Price! show features amazing guests, free Vincent Price Presents comic books for the crowd and a cavalcade of rare film and TV clips you won’t find on YouTube or Netflix.

Kevin Geeks Out is the comedy-variety show hosted by writer and comedian Kevin Maher – a monthly confabulation of vintage film clips and videos, new finds, guest experts, games and curiosities. To geek out with Kevin you don’t need to be a geek, you just need to love cool stuff.

His shows have been critics’ picks in the Village Voice, Time Out New York, Gothamist,The New York Times’ “Urban Eye”...and what other comedy show can you name that’s been featured in Scientific American Online?

Kevin’s co-host for October is horror fan Tom Peyer, writer of Tek Janssen, Hourman, Silver Age: Doom Patrol, Galveston and plenty of other geekworthy comics.

His other guests:

· Media Historian Heather Hendershot compares Price and Don Knotts!

· Legendary actor Arthur Anderson talks about his colleague Vincent Price and their days at Orson Welles’ Mercury Players!

· Playwright/film journalist Robert Satuloff examines the dark side of Price!

· Emmy-winning comedy writer (The Colbert Report, The Daily Show) Eric Drysdale looks at Price’s TV legacy from Brady Bunch to variety specials!

This two-hour tribute celebrates Price in familiar and surprising roles as Mad Scientist, Action Hero, Sinister Villain, Self-Parodying Guest Star, Fiend’s Fiend, gourmet and art collector. All this and trivia contests, rare recordings of Price reading the poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley and a free pencil moustache with every admission!
