Halloween!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!


Today is one of my favorite holidays HALLOWEEN!!! OK Christmas and my birthday are also my favorite but i love the whole spooks and ghouls stuff of Halloween. I used to love Halloween because it was the only time of the year I wouldn't get picked on for how I dressed lol. I used to love going trick or treating and I do miss it but at 26 i think I'm a bit too old for trick or treat! For the first 2 years of university I used to go out to the pubs and clubs in fancy dress which was fun but this year I'm going back to my tradition of having a massive horror film fest! I do however have some strict rules for a Halloween horror film fest!:

1. NO REMAKES
2. Film fest MUST include the classics (The Omen, Friday 13th, Psycho, etc)
3. One of the films shown HAS to be Halloween
4. You should have at least one film set around a ghost story
5. And the most important ingredient for a film fest...... POPCORN!!!!

There are probably more rules that I follow but cant think of them at this moment in time lol

So in preparation for my film fest with my girly tonight she has asked me to pick the films, so here is my list for tonight:

•  Halloween
• The Omen Trilogy
• The Crow
• Into The Mirror (Japanese)
• Exorcism Of Emily Rose
• Brain Dead
• Night Of The Living Dead

I would love to add The Exorcist to this list but I have just realised I don't actually own it on DVD! I'm shocked! I love that film!

So would you add any other Films to that list? I would but unfortunately those are all the decent horror films I own currently!

So this would be my dream film fest list:

• Exorcist
• The Fog
• Friday 13TH (Although this i usually save for Friday 13th)
• The Shining
• Evil Dead
• Nightmare On Elm Street
• Amityville Horror
•  Poltergeist
• Tenebrae
• Child's Play
• Texas Chainsaw Massacre
• Dracula
• The Grudge (Japanese)
• Pet Cemetery
• Psycho

I will stop there as the list could go on and on!

Anything you would add? Take away?

mad cats!

i have just been cleaning the dirty scum off the wall where the old cooker was using bleach forgetting that our cats love the smell of bleach! now we have 5 cats and its very entertaining watching all 5 rolling around the floor and chaising eachother around even our eldest cat battenburg who is very anti social especially with the new kitten jerry are playing with each other and chasing each other about! as im typing this pumpkin is trying to chaise the reflection on the wall from my phone and ginge looks ready to pounce on me to get the reflection! its like a mad house! xxx

my very strange dream!

OK SO WE ALL HAD A GIRLY NIGHT IN LAST NIGHT WITH PIZZA CRISPS DIPS AND CAKE! WE WATCHED SILENT HILL WHICH I FORGOT HOW GOOD THE FILM WAS AND WAS SUPRISED I DIDNT JUMP AS MUCH AS I THOUGHT I WOULD LOL WE THEN WATCHED THE LAST EPISODE OF DEXTER SEASON 4 WHICH WAS SO INTENSE! THIS SEASON WAS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST 3 AS DEXTER WAS JUST CHASING 1 PERSON INSTEAD OF KILLING 1 PERSON EACH EPISODE. THIS IS WHERE MY STRANGE DREAM STARTS, I WOKE UP THIS MORNING REMEMBERING PARTS OF MY DREAM, I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW IT ALL STARTED ALL I CAN REMEMBER IS BEING A ROOM FULL OF TOYS WITH LOADS OF KIDS AND DEXTER AND THEN SUDDENLY BEING IN THE BACK OF A CAR IN THE SAME ROOM WITH ALL THE KIDS IN THE BACK WITH ME AND DEXTER IN THE FRONT TRYING TO KILL THE TRINITY KILLER BUT AT THE SAME TIME HAVING A LAUGH AND A JOKE WITH ME AND THE KIDS. THEN I WOKE UP TO MY GIIRLFRIEND KISSING ME GOODBYE AND LEAVING FOR WORK, I WAS VERY CONFUSED! THINK I MAY HAVE TO LOOK AT THE MEANING OF THAT DREAM! RIGHT IM GOING TO SIGN OFF AND FINISH CATCHING UP WITH LAST NIGHTS HOLLYOAKS. (SORRY ABOUT ALL THE CAPITALS IM TYPING THIS ON MY PHONE AND I CANT GET IT OFF CAPS LOCK LOL) XXX

ideas shortage!

OK so I'm currently out of work and trying to find ways of passing the time in between searching for work and (currently non existent) interviews. So I thought i would try and get my creative hat back on and try and write a script for a film. I already have a script i wrote a few months ago which i do want to eventually film but here's the problem..... I'm crap at script writing!!! I have all these brilliant visions in my head but when i put them down on paper and start writing scripts they just sound so childish! lol but that's not my current problem, my current problem is i can't think of any ideas to write a script about! Looking back on all the films I did at uni every one of them is horror and it seems like its not going to help me get a job in the real world! don't get me wrong I love horror but I think I need to broaden my skills more. So here comes the second problem.... I don't know what other genre I'm good at! I love comedy but when I try to write a comical script its just not funny!!! I thought I would try a different approach and maybe adapt a book or write about a real life experience but all the books i love and would love to make in to films are all copyrighted and as a struggling film maker I cant afford the copyright! As for life experiences I admit I have experienced a lot in my life and I know a lot of people who have gone through a lot but I don't feel right using that as an idea as its all very personal and i wouldn't want to offend or upset any one. I suppose for now I will just have to keep thinking up ideas until I find something to spark my creativity off again! This is why I miss uni so much having a load of creative people around me to bounce ideas off and not stuck here on my own with no friends to talk to! God I have such a sad boring life! Don't get me wrong I love my girlfriend to bits and we have always agreed that once i finished uni I would move down here as it was close to London where I could get a job in film and TV. One thing I didn't realise was how hard it was going to be! The worst thing is every day I read about how well my old course mates are doing and how some of them are now working for the production company i used to help with!

OK OK enough of me ranting on I'm probably boring you now that's if you have managed to get this far! I'm going to sign off for now as I should really go and draw some money out for the gas man when he comes later to fit the new cooker! xxx
