| Today I´m half the man I used to be. |
TWID on Friday was great and if you are into H.P. Lovecraft but haven´t seen the movie yet, you gotta change that asap! I am not going to give away the ending, suffice it to say it differs completely from the original story.
Third act, anyone? Usually I´m quite a purist when it comes to screen adaptions of my favourite books. It´s different with this one: although Lovecraft´s short story works perfectly in its actual medium, the alterations done by the HPLHS step it up a notch in order to make the tale more suitable for being a feature movie. In my opinion the film makers enhanced the original material without doing it any harm. Rather on the contrary, you can watch a story now that you already know without knowing how it ends - and the end is pretty cool!
After the movie (dead silence in a sold out cinema room - the way it should be!) viewers were given the chance to have a nice Q & A with director / producer / actor Sean Branney, an overall friendly and sympathic guy who answered the many questions patiently.
Only thing I regret is that I didn´t get to see more than just one movie, the festival program was really spiced with many whacky ones, that´s for sure. I´m also sure that when Night Visions returns next spring, I will be ready for a movie marathon!
Tonight is going to be zombie night at LIFE IN HEL (severed) headquarters.
What´s it gonna be? Gates of Hell? Dawn of the Dead? La Regina dei Cannibali?
Haven´t decided yet, but for now:
Happy Halloween!
SONG FOR TODAY:

Ars vivendi.
Hey, thanks for stopping by! Yes, Finnish is hard, but I'm actually surprised at how quickly I'm catching on -- which is to say I had heard so many horror stories about how hard it was that it's actually a tad easier than I expected! At the rate I'm going, 5 - 7 years for fluency sounds about right. Good luck to you, too, though I bet you're farther along than I am!
As an American, I totally dig Halloween. The way I celebrate it, though, usually takes the form of watching about 6 horror flicks back to back and stuffing my face with sweets. And that's precisely what I did. :)
Sounds like you got the right attitude to learn Finnish - pikkuhiljaa is the only way to do it!
What horror movies did you watch on Halloween?
I had City Of The Living Dead / Gates of Hell in the player.
