Day Four: Krypt Kiddies
I think anyone who has hung around the Firefly Ranch for any length of time knows that Mama likes creepy dolls. I'd have a hard time topping the creepiness of Sam from Trick R Treat (currently haunting my bedroom) or my Zuni warrior from Trilogy of Terror (hanging out in the living room) but I think one of these could give them a run for the money:

Day Three : Buried
This was the finale for the Milwaukee Film Festival last night.
All I knew about this movie going in was:
Ryan Reynolds.
Buried Alive.
Cell Phone and Lighter included.
I highly suggest if you're going to see this - and it opens in wide release next weekend - that you avoid knowing much else. I think letting the events unfold in front of you (vs going into the movie knowing who he is, where he is, and how he got there) will make for a much richer movie experience.
Buried is not a fun movie to watch. I'm glad I saw it, I'm happy I saw it at the venue I did, but it was NOT an enjoyable night at the movies. And I'll never watch it again.
How's that for a recommendation?
Creeped the F**K out,
Mother Firefly
Day Two: Blood Junkie
The Milwaukee Film Festival finished up last night, and I was at the Oriental for the finale. Every year the Festival shows ONE horror movie, and I always manage to see it, and their choices are usually good. In previous years I've seen House of the Devil, Severance, and The Signal. So this year I opened up the catalog to find my ONE horror movie, and holy crap.....there was one.....and two....and three......FOUR, count 'em, FOUR genre movies.
Except.
I couldn't make it to two of them.
Sigh.
Blame bad planning and totally spacing on the dates for the festival and neither myself or Papa Cash taking any time off for it. I don't know what changed this year, MFF, but I like it. Do it again. Mama says so.
Anyway, one of the films I saw was Blood Junkie.
This little treat was filmed in Wisconsin, and it's a kind of 80's flashback "Let's Go Into the Woods and Get Ourselfs Kilt" deal. The write up in the catalog compared it to Evil Dead, but I'd put it more in the realm of movies like The Forest and Don't Go In The Woods.
Blood Junkie reminded me of the kind of thing you see at Horror Conventions, a movie that goes down better with an alcoholic beverage and a bunch of genre fans looking to have a good time. I don't know if it would be as much fun watching it alone in my living room - where I watch most of my horror movies.....but it's still better than a lot of low budget fare out there - or than a lot of the movies with a budget ten times as big (or more). It was an easy on the attention span 75 minutes, and the film did a good job of making it look like the 80's all over again.

Day 1: Halloween Tips
*This is actually a repost from last year......but it's one of my favorites, so I thought I'd start off the season with it. I didn't write it - and I'm not sure who did. I added the pictures, and a couple of my cats were happy to help out with the Halloween Tips. Okay, maybe not THAT happy about it......
12. Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you're sure
you know what you're doing.
15. Stay away from certain geographical locations, some of which are
listed here: Amityville, Elm Street, Transylvania, Nilbog (you're in
trouble if you recognize this one), anywhere in Texas where
chainsaws are sold, the Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine.
17. Beware of strangers bearing tools. For example: chainsaws,
staple guns, hedge trimmers, electric carving knives, combines,
lawnmowers, butane torches, soldering irons, band saws, or any
devices made from deceased companions.
Keep in mind for Halloween, it is worthwhile to remember a few
simple rules to help keep this season healthy, happy and SAFE!!
Please use these helpful hints this and every year.

1. When it appears that you have killed the monster, NEVER check to

2. Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a joke.
3. Do not search the basement, especially if the power has gone
out.

4. If your children speak to you in Latin or any other language
which they should not know, shoot them immediately. It will save you
a lot of grief in the long run. However, it will probably take
several rounds to kill them, so be prepared. This also applies to
kids who speak with somebody else's voice.

6. As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to Hell.

apply to any other house of the dead as well.

12. Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you're sure

13. If you're running from the monster, expect to trip or fall down
at least twice, more if you are female. Also note that, despite the
fact that you are running and the monster is merely shambling along,
it's still moving fast enough to catch up with you.

behavior such as hissing, fascination for blood, glowing eyes,
increasing hairiness, and so on, kill them immediately.

16. If your car runs out of gas at night on a lonely road, do not go
to the nearby deserted-looking house to phone for help. If you think
that it is strange you ran out of gas because you thought you had
most of a tank, shoot yourself instead. You are going to die anyway,
and most likely be eaten.

18. If you find that your house is built upon a cemetery, now is the
time to move in with the in-laws. This also applies to houses that
had previous inhabitants who went mad or committed suicide or died in
some horrible fashion, or had inhabitants who performed satanic
practices.

old house, women should not wear a flimsy negligee. And carry a
flashlight, not a candle.

Mother F.Countdown To Halloween
I'm running a little behind this year - partly due to the end of the Milwaukee Film Festival, which is wrapping up tonight. But - the cool part is that the last two films I'm seeing are in the genre, so they'll be my Day Two and Three posts....more to come on those later.
This year is also going to be a little tricky considering I'll be spending a week in Orlando, but I'm hoping to get some posts done before then to help fill in, and also to be doing some posting about Universal's Halloween Horror Nights.
Let the Halloween Blogging Begin!!
