Happy Halloween!!

UPDATE!

I wasn't able to provide a more thorough review yesterday, as I was running out the door, but folks, this is a lovely, haunting, and very chilling horror story.

Naturally, when you hear "Attack of the Killer Sock" you might think you'd be in a for a side-tickler. That is not the case with this one, not at all. Rather, this is a very unique and dark look into loneliness and madness.

Watch with an open mind, a sympathetic heart, and in the dark - alone.

Well done, and huge thanks to Alexander Williams and Mcphoney Pictures for creating and sharing a great independent short.

Two Short Horror Movie Award Winners

Here are two excellent horror movie shorts that you need to see if you know what's good for you!

And that's all I have to say about that...

The Quiet:

Victim:

The Cat and The Canary (1927)

I've always been impressed with this silent film.

It's cheeky, silly, absurd, and at times quite startling. The characters are hilarious and theatrically over the top, yet lovable and delicious (just like a great silent film should be).

The Cat and the Canary is a great film for everyone, regardless of your horror preferences. Also a great film to watch alone on a dark and stormy night or with a group of fun-loving friends.

Great great great movie!

Trilogy of Terror (1975)

This made-for-TV horror movie is an absolute favorite in the family. Every since the initial release in 1975, the Trilogy of Terror, particularly the last one third of the movie, has gone down as legend in the family home.

If you're familiar with this movie then you'll know the last horror short in this collection is about a killer doll thing. That killer doll thing, also known as the Tiki Doll, also known as He Who Kills, has terrorized my family for nearly four decades.

And by that I mean my father has tormented us with memories of this little doll ever since 1975. For instance, if you're not paying attention while chillin' on the couch, Dad might sneak up and poke your ankle with a toothpick. Which, obviously, will result in a near heart attack and lots of screaming.

Or.... when you're all snug in bed and ready for sleep, Dad might shove a little butter knife under the door and make scary killer tiki doll sounds - frightening you out of your MIND.

I love my Dad. I blame him, just a little bit, for my love of horror movies.

So - get your own horrifying family memories started, take a look at this crazy creature in motion, and find yourself a copy of this film stat.

Lights Out (2013)

This little short made it's rounds my Facebook this month - so I've seen it a couple times and I LOVE IT EVERY TIME.

Classic creature feature fears and classic childhood fears come together in this award winning short to bring the world yet another fantastic horror short that is sure to make you jump, scream, and give you a few nightmares for a while.

Nighty Night!
