I have a LOT of stuff I need to be getting done, but, you know, I have always had the damnedest time getting anything done on a Sunday. I went to church and got a prayer shawl blessed for the mother of a friend. I went grocery shopping with my husband. I made spaghetti sauce for dinner, chopped vegetables and made salad for tomorrow’s lunch, and… OK, that was it. And I am watching Halloween movies, so I can at least make a blog post with fun pictures. We started cheesy with Horror Hotel (1960), featuring a young, fairly hot Christopher Lee.
Not the best shot of him, but a pretty creepy pic, I thought.
The movie was in one of our DVD horror collections. House on Haunted Hill was also on that disc. Of course we have House on Haunted Hill (1959) on a disc all by itself, seeing as it is one of our all time favorites, but I suggested we go ahead and watch it on that disc, since it was already in the machine.
I loves me some Vincent Price.
Next Steven suggested Carnival of Souls (1962), a really trippy, well made, low budget, high suspense horror film.
It’s scary! And far from cheesy.
I got the picture from a cool Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/carnivalofsouls1962/.
And I have missed a bit of the movie while I made this post. It hardly matters. I will certainly watch this movie again. I have declared it Halloween season in my household. I figure if my fall allergies can kick in so early (and they certainly have!), I can enjoy the fun parts of fall as well. It makes an excellent way to get through a Wrist to Forehead Sunday.
I can’t see where the poster resembles the movie, but you know I never pay much attention to these things.
Carnival of Souls ended before I hit publish, so I moved on to Night Tide (1961), which is on the same disc.

To find Halloween all you have to do is go to the grocery store! Personally I find it really annoying that the Halloween candy is already out. Who needs to buy candy 2 months early? Is anyone worried about finding candy closer to Halloween? I mean, sure it will be Christmas candy but do trick or treaters really care? Actually it would be pretty funny to hand out Christmas candy at Halloween. Wouldn’t that be a cool trend to start?
Yeah, the candy is out early so that people will buy it, eat it, then have to buy more. But I know you can get Halloween candy right up till Halloween night, because I have frantically driven to the store in the midst of trick or treating, because I have been in fear of running out.
Yes, it is horrible how scarce candy is the rest of the year 🙂 .
Hi! A guy I date who is younger than I bought a bunch of ghost erasers, a skeleton hand with an acrylic candle in it and a pumpkin bobble head! His boys are 13 and 14. 😊
I love holidays! 🌻🎃🌾
Me too! And I love all the fun-shaped erasers they make these days. I have some Halloween ones somewhere, I think. Hmmm….
Hmmm. . . I made an orange and purple raffia wreath today with owls and pumpkins on a wire frame. All the items cost $5 total. It was fun and my daughter received it well. 🎃⭐🦉
Awesome!
