Ramblings and webcomics from LeEMS
As in, all the best of what that I spend time with every October.
Rocky Horror Picture Show is always on the list. When I was a kid in Dallas, TX, Rocky Horror would start running on broadcast television all through October. My mom loved the movie, so, of course, I loved it too.
I said list. Every year Richard of Doomedmoviethon.com and I have a list of movies and specials that we have to watch throughout October. I could’ve sworn I have blogged about this list before, but it doesn’t look like I have. I will correct that. For now, just know that Halloween isn’t Halloween without having seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show and also, Martha Stewart’s Halloween special and Slumber Party Massacre.
We also have a special USB drive mix of music for the car. Henry Hall is starting to feature more and more prominently, and it wouldn’t be complete with a few versions of “Mr. Ghost is Going to Town.”
I know I’ve mentioned them before, but this is the season to embrace the witch. So, a little reminder: witch trading cards are available in my shop!
There is a list of movies and specials that ritualistically get watched during the Halloween season in our house. They range from common place (for most people) and, dare I say quality like Halloween, to slightly off the wall and maybe a little bad like the Paul Lind Halloween special. Somewhere in the middle is Martha Stewart’s Halloween special compilation.
“Oh, Charlie!”
The compilation features Halloween themed segments and episodes from the full range of Martha shows over the years including early episodes typifying her soothingly monotonous line delivery as well as episodes from shows later in her career where she obviously has become more comfortable in front of the camera. A couple of segments repeatedly provoke debate in our house on whether she’s under the influence. Oddly enough they seem to all deal with make-up. Perhaps make-up makes Martha high, or transports her to a grandmother’s closet she is five and trying on all the high heels and the lipsticks without knowing that the shoes go on her feet and the lipstick goes on her mouth. They are hilarious watching. One of the best is when her ?nephew? gets done up like a vampire while Martha alternately plays with make-uping her own face and falls into fits of giggles (the gif is only a hint).
