Whats the dilly yo? Its soon fall (atleast here in VA) and that means it is the Saltykrackers favorite time of year. Football as started and my beloved Redskins are 2-0, don't expect that to last to long but they beat the Cowboys and really thats all that matters right now. Plus UVA is undefeated and Notre Dame doesnt suck this year. Second my wife got a job and that means more money for me to spend on shit I dont need. But probably the best thing about this time of year is Halloween. Im ready for wall to wall episodes of bad horror movies. First of all Id like to let everyone know that Return of the Living Dead 4 & 5 which were supposed to be released in the theaters are not and are being shown back to back on the Sci-Fi Channel on Oct 15th. Go check em out. With that being said I went in search of some classic horror movies and some new cheesy ones at the video store. First things first Blockbuster has the WORST selection of horror movies ever. So I went to Movie Time down the street where I found Return of the Living Dead 1. Now this is not a true horror movie more of a spoof of George Romeros Night of the Living Dead which is one of my favorite movies and series. Anyway its a good movie and I rented it. I also rented Jack Frost 2. This is not the sequel to the Michael Keaton as a snowman movie, this is part 2 of what is becoming a cult classic movie about a serial killing mutant snowman. CLASSIC! Part 2 was more of a comedy but i highly recommend it. Plus where else are you doing to see a snowman give birth to killer snowballs. So i hope everyone take some time this fall to check out a few good "bad" horror movies or the real classics like the Halloween series (not 3) The Living Dead series (if Land of the Dead is still in a theatre near you check it out) April Fools Day and the Evil Dead series. Also see if your cable provider has the Horror Channel, its a new channel that is strictly for horror fans, if you dont get it their is a petition on the webpage for you to get it.

So peace out and get into the spirit that is Halloween
(Unless of course you are one of those religious types that think its the devils night, then go lock yourself in your house with your bible and pray for the rest of our souls or whatever it is you types like do when complaining about others having fun.)
