Oh I already made my veg*n horror movie thread I didn't see this Halloween one an hour or two ago.
Let's see, my actual plans for Halloween include dressing up, going to the farmer's market, and making a cranberry-walnut-mushroom-lentil loaf (it's supposed to be for Thanksgiving, but I really love Halloween and have nothing else to do this year).
I have been speculating on which particular horror films I will watch, and tonight I learned that my favorite Lucio Fulci films (The House By the Cemetery, City of the Living Dead, and the Beyond are a trilogy. I've never watched them all closely on the same day in the correct order: 1) City of the Living Dead 2) The Beyond and 3) The House By the Cemetery knowing now they are a trilogy. It makes so much sense now why I like these particular Fulci films, they have a common "theme."
The House By the Cemetery Theme is epic:
I've been feeling weird about all the cemetery stuff with COVID-19 this year though. So when I visited my local cemetery I felt extra respectful and noticed people's ages (a lot of people who died in the 19th century were younger than me, and a few who died more recently). I also have had creepy dreams about death and falling asleep one night I heard the words "You are in danger." It's a very off time, but now more than ever I need to connect my love of the supernatural or weird to respect for the recently sadly departed in a respectful way. I think this all stems from my grandmother dying when I was 5 and my first bf committing suicide. I know my ex was a horror buff and his grandma slowly rotted away of cancer (and refused to get hospital treatment) away in a room while he was a child, and his father was violent. People who love horror films are trying to cope with death, and so I won't deny myself the artistic therapy when I'm so conscious of it as an adult.
In other news, here's my jack 'o lantern:
