Tales from the Crypt DEAD EASY aka Fat Tuesday the lost film

Ages and Ages ago I made blog posts about Tales from the Crypt Presents Fat Tuesday AKA Dead Easy and a few years ago I turned these into a YouTube video.... Basically it was a Tales from the Crypt movie that was planned but never came out..... it was always this sort of lost film with very very little info on it, was it made, was it not, did a tape of it exist somewhere in a vault or did they never film it... Well for the first time in years and years new info has actually come out about it, a full Script has been found and there is going to be a table read of it... For now here is my original Video on it and a link to the info on the table read a new video will soon be following.... I am also hoping to listen to the live table read as and when it happens but currently you have to donate to a set charity and I am having issues with it, I have left the link below for people who might be interested

Tales from the Crypt Fat Tuesday, the original article

Previously when talking about Tales from the Crypt Fat Tuesday/ Dead Easy I quoted a article from a Tales from the Crypt Magazine special about Demon Knight. I had real issues reading the article as all I had was very poor resolution scans to deal with, now I have sat and really strained my eyes and used software I didnt previously have in order to copy down every single word from this article so that others can read it with ease. Still not enough is known about this film and I seem to be one of only a very small amount of bloggers talking about it, so here it is in an easy to read format with yet one more piece of concept art and a picture of the front cover of the magazine this article was apparently taken from. I have included the authors name at the bottom as I am not in anyway taking credit for the article, I just wanted it up and easy to read and figured this was something I could do for the horror community.

 

 

MORE FEAR ON ''FAT TUESDAY''

Demonic possession, resurrection, religious icongraphy and other worldly temptation are ambitious concepts to be tackling for the first Tales from the Crypt feature Demon Knight. But with two more movies to go, what do you do for an encore? 

''The next one is more psychological than blood, grue and gore'' says A L Katz with a smile. ''As a Matter of fact, today we wrote a scne where a shadow figure squeezes through the skull of an old lady and into her brain. And that's just where the movie begins.''

Much like the TV eries, the movie franchise will also attempt to branch out into different horizons, according to Katz and writing partner Gil Adler. The latter will also be directing the second Crypt feature, whih is tentativelty titled Fat Tuesday and scheduled to go into production in Februrary on a $12 million budget. ''When you think of a Crypt movie, you think ironic, sardonic humour and you also think of a certain amount of scares and gore.. Adler explains. ''And as with the series, there are some nice twists and turns along the way. You think you're being lef one way and we twist it into another direction.''

Based on a script by J.P. Kelly, Fat Tuesday will be set in the Deep South (possibly New Orleans) and concerns a man trying to determine what happened in his past, and how memories of that past will bring back a malevolent entiity if they are ever recalled. ''As this guy get closer to the truth he also gets closer to rleasing this thing from the prison inside of him,'' Katz explains, ''We will be creating a unique Bad guy- one you've never seem before that is compelling and funny. It will scare the shit out of you.''

As with the Crypt shows, Adler and Katz have spent an extensive amount of time rewordking Fat Tuesday into the Crypt style (a title change is expected before the film is released).

''The script that J.P. Kelly wrote was intresting and very compelling but as with all things, we've played with it, thought about it and molded it over, so it has evolved into another life of its own.'' says Katz. ''His original story was very much about a man remembering something from his past and it possibly involved child abuse, which was a little too much to tackle. But the idea of a man remembering something from his past was an intriguing idea. The setting J.P. placed it in was fascinating, and there's even a swamp in there that becomes a character of its own. It's sort of a perverse den where heaven and hell meet and is filled with magic- dark and dangerous magic.''

As for potentialmakeup FX, Todd Masters' shop is currently creating preliminary designs(which will include, among other things, an evil Harlequin), but the artist notes that it won't be as extensive show as Demon Knight proved to be. ''Its more scary in the Haunting sense.'' explains Masters, ''But there is enough stuff in there to keep us going.''

The unique structure of the film franchise has  also create an intresting dynamic. When the idea of features was initially being thrown around, the three main executive producers, Richard Donner, Robert Zemeckis and Walter Hil, all considered directing one each. As time went on, their involvment resulted in each picking a script and nurturing the project along with another director at the helm. Thus Zemeckis oversaw Demon Knight, Donner will be close to Fat Tuesday and Hill will be involved with an urban horror opus currently entitled Body Count (which producer Joel Silver describes as a modern Frankenstein tale) - though the story for the third movie is still tentative.

''Each of the films could be franchisable in its own right.'' explains Katz. ''It's not altogther impossible. Several characters could be taken into sequels, and I don'tthink it would be all that suprisingif that's what happens. In the end, were trying to create satisfying, fulfilling mythologies, and the probability that at least one movie won't be able to contain them is not exactly a revelation.''

Fat Tuesday we still dont really know much about it

 

 I didnt realise that Fat Tuesday was basically another name for Mardi Gras a Carnival celebration, beginning on or after the Christian feasts of the Epiphany (Three Kings Day) and culminating on the day before Ash Wednesday. In England where I am from it is basically what we would call Shrove Tuesday AKA pancake day. So basically it is the idea of having a last day/night of eating rich, fatty foods before you fast for lent. Funny really then that I never put two and two togther and realised that there was almost a Tales from Crypt movie released which would have been set around the time of pancake day, makes you think doesnt it?

I wrote a series of posts a few years back about the Tales from The Crypt films those released, those not and those films that almost became Tales films, one of these films an unreleased one was going to be called Fat Tuesday, a few things have made me return to write this sort of follow up post. As far as I can tell no real new information has come to light on the film, sure a few more people have made blog posts about it but they all seem to be picking from the same scraps I did, I am also not nieve enough to believe that my post was the first or possessed any more insight than most, but it is this very lack of information which sort of keeps this long dead film alive, the less info there is the more curious people are, they less they know the more they wish they knew.

A source calling himself Unknown30 contacted me in July of  2018 claiming to have more knowledge of this film, I would properly credit the individual but beyond the user name I do not haveany details. According to this individual TALES FROM THE CRYPT PRESENTS FAT TUESDAY was going for a September 1996 release by Universal. The story for the film was written by JP Kelly who pitched it to Joel Silver who thought it would make a great Tales movie. Gilbert Adler and A L Katz both rewrote the film but they had trouble getting the tone right apparently resulting in three sloppy drafts in a row. After this Silver wanting a finalized script that worked hired X Files writer Darin Morgan who was apparently a fan and wanted to work with the show's writers. Apparently not only did he agree immediately he also turned in a final draft three days later.

According to this guy it was a damn good script.  This is what he had to say about it ''The story was about a psychiatrist Roger and his son who move to New Orleans after his wife dies find themselves terrorized by the ghost of Roger's father, a voodoo witch and a demonic jester. It was a perfect followup to Demon Knight.''

''According to this source Adler and Katz stepped in and refused to make the film angered at the fact that their script was rewritten. To top it off, Universal bought Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis' spec Bordello Of Blood so that the latter wouldn't leave to go and work for DreamWorks. Those two things sealed the fate of Fat Tuesday. It's a damn shame cause Darin's script perfectly captured the EC Comics spirit and was so rich. Darin Morgan is still a criminally underrated writer and FT was in my own personal opinion the best script he wrote. It was the first script I ever read from beginning to end cause it was so good.''

I also wanted to bring this up again as recently a film has come out called Fat Tuesday, I found this out while looking for info on the missing Tales from the crypt film. This Fat Tuesday film was Screened at the Atlanta Film Festival and is written and directed by Louisiana native Jorge Torres-Torres. Apparently it was Filmed on location during the final days of Mardi Gras. The rough story of the film is that a hitchhiker infiltrates a group of friends with the intent of murdering her unsuspecting victims during the event, so in short its nothing like the tales from the crypt film would have been. I havent seen this film although I would like to give it a shot, apparently though people claim that it is slow but that it is gritty and a decent flick, it has been compared to Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer which is movie which I personally rate pretty highly.

I guess the truth is I dont relly have much more to say than I did the first time and if you havent read that post then I recommend that you give it a look Tales From the Crypt Fat Tuesday original post . I guess some missing movie legends just remain exactly that forever legends.

How From Dusk Till Dawn was nearly Tales from the Crypt presents: From Dusk Till Dawn

OK so I have previously talked about both Tales from the Crypt films and Tales from the Crypt films that were planned to at least some degree but never came to be. This kind of leaves me with a Third type of Tales from the Crypt film to talk about and thats films which ended up being made which were at one point going to be Tales from the Crypt movies but for one reason or another by the time they were released they had lost the connection. One of these films I want to talk about is Dusk Till Dawn.

The story is that From Dusk Till Dawn was originally planned as the follow-up to Tales From The Crypt Presents: Demon Knight, but due to disagreements with the producers, Tarantino and Rodriguez took the film elsewhere. I think it is intresting to know that From Dusk Till Dawn was nearly a Tales from the Crypt film, and its also intresting to think about how things could have been diffrent.

Ok so if you havent seen From Dusk Till Dawn my first question for you is why not? I am not reviewing it here but its a bloody fantastic film and if you havent seen it yet then you should rectify that right away. If you havent seen it though I am going to essentially spoil it so you might not want to finish reading this post. Dusk Till Dawn has that kind of Tales from the Crypt quality in that it has Vampires and horror but also mixes this with a certain amount of humour and whackyness. There are a few things about it that are very unlike Tales from the Crypt for me. Tales from the crypt has monsters and even criminals like bank robbers but it has this sort of sense of morality to it, a sort of twisted morality at times but morality all of the same, this is not something I feel can be said about Dusk Till Dawn. The person who I would call the main hero of Dusk Till Dawn is a  wanted criminal a criminal who is not affraid to kill people, to take people hostage, sure he kills Vampires but he is only really doing it to survive, at the end of the film he not only walks away free he walks away with money and heads towards a new life in Mexico.






Like I have already said I think that Dusk Till Dawn certainly feels like it could exist within the Tales from The Crypt Universe but I think its proberbly a good thing that it didnt end up being a Tales film, both Bordello of blood and Dusk Till Dawn came out in 1996 and I enjoyed both of them. With the two films being vampire based I think if Dusk had been a Tales of film then it would have simply killed Bordello, they are too simmilar to exist togther under the same brand name. I also think that both Tarantino and Rodriquez do there best work when they are messed with as little as possible, in fact I would say that most films come out there best when someone can get as much of there original vision up on the screen as they can and if there had already been a disagreement with the producers in the early stages it proberbly would have only gotten worse. So I think things proberbly worked out for the best all round.

Tales from the Crypt Fat Tuesday/Dead Easy.

Ok so in my last post I mentioned the fact that originally at least there was only  two “Tales from the Crypt Presents” movies, “DemonKnight” and “Bordello of Blood.”. I then went on to talk about Ritual and how it was originally going to be the third film but then it was made to be a stand alone horror film before eventually being released on to disc as a Tales film a long time latter. There was however another Tales Movie apparently  filmed and completed between Demon Knight and Boredllo of Blood but never released. That film was the film I am going to talk about today, it was  “Fat Tuesday.” 

 

The trilogy might have started with Demon Knight the script for which apparently predated the Tales From The Crypt TV series but when they originally decided to make a trilogy of films it was  intended to be the second film in the trilogy. Dead Easy was at one stage intended to be the opening film of the trilogy. Dead Easy and Fat Tuesday are the same script/idea but it seems like they kept floating between the two possible titles. According to Gilbert Adler the reason for Demon Knight becoming the first film was issues they were having with the script for Dead Easy "We were rewriting it, and it was getting scarier and more intense, but a lot of the humor had been lost, and we always felt that was an important part of Tales from the Crypt -- scare people, then let them laugh.''. You might be thinking at this stage that Dead Easy had been dumped but no if you went and saw Demon Knight in the cinema then you would have seen it had a post-credits scene where the Crypt Keeper told everyone that if they hadnt had enough that they could return to the cinema soon to see the next Tales from the Crypt movie “Dead Easy”so for at least a time Dead Easy was going to be the second film in the trilogy.

The amount known about Fat Tuesday/Dead Esay well its not a lot really, most of what is known comes from magazine articles around the time Demon Knight was released. ''The next one is more psychological; than blood guts and gore'' according to A.l Katz ''As a Matter of fqact today we wrote a scene where a shadow figure squeezes through the skull of an old lady and into her brain and thats just where the movie begins.'' Adler was apparently directing Fat Tuesday and it was going into production in febuarary with a $12 million budget. The film was going to be based on a script by J.P kELLY. It was going to be set in the Deep South (possibly New Orleans) It was supposed to be about a man trying to determine what happened in his past and how his memories of this would bring back a malevolent entity if they are ever recalled. The closer the guy gets to the truth the closer he gets to releasing something inside of him. They claimed that they would be creating a unique bad guy one who would be unique and funny and like nothing we had seen before and that would also scare the shit out of people. I have found a scan of this article and I wrote the above by squinting like mad, I will share it below incase you can read it better than I.

I personally think that the plot for the film and what they had planned for us actually sounded great, yet we never got it so why not? Well apparently the reason we never got to see it according to rumors was due to with issues due to the films casting and possible racial implications. Since the script was very voodoo related youd imagine that they would have required a large African-American cast. Well during pre-production there was apparently a bunch of debates focused on whether the film would be commercially viable with a largly African American cast. The story goes that apparently the film was actually completed but the cast was entirely white. This apparently led to “Tales from the Crypt” producer Joel Silver steping in, claiming that he would be branded a racist if the film was released and because of this it was locked in a vault and has not seen the light of day since. It is intresting to think that there is a Tales from The Crypt film out there that we have never seen and I wish I could see it but I figure it will never be shown, I do wish that with the change in times they would either release the original script, noveilse it or remake it with an appropriate cast.

The two pictures I provided above and tried to read are from an article on “Fat Tuesday” that apparently came from a “DemonKnight” magazine that was published when that movie was released. There is also some art which has made its way online and I will post it here because its both intresting and I think its rather good too. Does this art really tell us anything? Well it supports the claims that the script includes a man looking after his child and it also shows that this villian as well as being described as a shadow and as having come out of the man it seems to take the form of an Evil Jester, its hard to draw anything concreate from this but maybe it was a bit like the creature in Stephen King's IT maybe it was an Evil Shadow which took the form of a Jester it sounds pretty intresting to me, I would still love to see it but I guess it will just have to live on as a movie legend.

Tales from the Crypt: Ritual

OK so I wanted to do a Post about Tales From The Crypt as well its something that is very dear to my heart. I don't just mean the HBO TV series I mean the comic books the 1970's films, the latter films such as Demon Knight and Bordello of Blood, the spiritual successors such as CreepShow and CreepShow 2 all of it put together just becomes this thing which was a massive influence on me. I wanted to become a horror Writer because of them, and even if it will never ever come true I have always had the secret dream that a story I have written would end up becoming the basis for something Tales From The Crypt related, as I think some of my work kind of has an EC Comics Tales kind of vibe to it.

I have decided that I want to talk about Tales from the Crypt films, no not Tales From the Crypt and The Vault of Horror nor the newer HBO connected films such as Demon Knight and Bordello of Blood, what I want to talk about is the films that either never made it to screen or didn't make it to screen as officially branded Tales from the Crypt Movies. I am going to start this today by talking about Ritual.

OK so the first think to say is that Ritual actually got made. Ritual was originally intended to be produced by Universal so that it could be used as the third instalment of a trilogy of Tales from the Crypt  movies. It was actually sort of going to be a replacement for other shelved films but I will talk about them in latter posts. Plans were scrapped for this to be a Tales from the Crypt film after Bordello of Blood the second released Tales from the Crypt movie (not counting the old Amicus ones here) bombed in theatres. Miramax purchased the rights from Universal and removed all references to the Tales from the Crypt franchise, so that it could be released as a stand alone movie.Eventually it was released as a Tales from the Crypt film years after with what seems to be newly shot CryptKeeper scenes with an unfortunately not great puppet. The funny thing being originally they thought the connection to Tales from Crypt might harm it then latter they felt that reconnecting it to Tales from the Crypt might improve sales of it on disc. In all honesty its a half decent film with the highlight of it for me being the fact it features Tim Curry. I personally wish they'd kept it a Tales from Crypt film in the first place . Its basically a retelling of the old film I Walked With a Zombie.If you enjoy films about Voodoo then you will probably like it, at times it does feel very much like a Tales from the Crypt film but then at others it feels a little slow paced and like it lost its mojo maybe some of this is due to alterations made to try and take it away from its Crypt past and treat it like a stand alone movie. I recommend that people watch it, I would also check out the latter filmed Crypt Keeper bits but I don't think its something that your going to keep returning to and you certainly need to watch it with your expectations dialled down.

I do tend to see this as a Tales from the Crypt film as I think at heart despite its original unbranding it always was a Tales film at heart, I don't think it was anywhere near as good as Demon Knight the first of the Tales Trilogy but then the thing is I would actually call Demon Knight one of my top ten favourite films of all time. If we were to consider the official trilogy Demon Knight, Bordello of Blood and then Ritual I would order them from best to worst in that very same order. Once I have talked about more of the potential sequels and kind of sequels I will have to come back and reassess this films place in the rankings but until then.... Good Night Boys and Ghouls.

The Vault of Horror: A horror film you need to see.

Every now and then I like for all of the dots to line up so that I can talk about a whole bunch of my favourite things in one go, be it talking about a Video game which happens to be about wrestling or a Horror film that happens to be based on a classic line of horror comics. Well today I have a real beauty to talk about because it involves a whole host of things I love a great deal. It is also a chance for me to persuade you that you need to watch this for Halloween this year.

Today I get to talk about a horror film, in fact it is what you would call a horror anthology film, which is one of my favourite types of movie, it is based on a wonderful series of comics which happens to feature a very well loved actor who is probably mostly thought of for his role as The Doctor in Doctor Who and it was made by a company I am also very fond of.

So what am I talking about? Well if you have read the title of this post or even looked at the picture which is across from this text then you will already know that I am referring to The Vault of Horror a horror anthology film made by Amicus Productions a British film production company, based at Shepperton Studios here in England. It was Filmed from August to September in 1972. It is the only Amicus anthology movie which does not feature Peter Cushing (Most likely because he was busy filming another film for Amicus called ''And Now the Screaming Starts!'') I can forgive its lack of the amazing talents of Mr Cushing though largely because it features another marvellous actor the formerly mentioned future Doctor Who, Mr Tom Baker.

So here we have an Amicus produced film based on Stories from EC Comics horror comics staring The Doctor himself Tom Baker what is there not to love here? If you arnt aware what EC Comics are then the easiest way to explain is to say that they were an American publisher of comic books, which specialized in areas such as horror fiction, crime fiction, and science fiction from the 1940s through tothe mid-1950s, with there most well known title being the Tales from the Crypt series which of course would go on to give birth to the Film Version of Tales from the Crypt made by Amicus and the Latter HBO TV series Tales from the Crypt. This film was in fact a sequel to Tales from the Crypt and was referd to in some cases and released sometimes in some markets with names like Further Tales from the Crypt and Tales from the crypt,part II. In honesty these titles probably makes more sense really as none of the stories contained in this film actually come from the EC comic series "The Vault of Horror." The story "The Neat Job" originally appeared in one of EC's other titles "Shock SuspenStories," and the rest of the stories appeared in various issues of "Tales from the Crypt.". I guess they went with the Vault of Horror title for the film to keep the EC connection but to make it stand on its own and not give anyone the idea that they would be at any disadvantage if they hadn't seen Tales from the Crypt, and the truth is this film can stand on its own legs, you can enjoy it and the stories within it regardless of if you have seen the Tales from the Crypt or not.

Ok so the film as I have pointed out is an anthology story but it has a what I would call wrap around story which holds all of the short stories together. In this case the story is that five strangers all get in to a lift togther, a lift in what appears to be an office block. They end up in the sub-basement even though none of them pressed the button for that floor. In the sub-basement they find a fully furnished room. The lifts door closes and they are all stuck down there, so they make the best of it they settle down grab drinks and begin to talk to each other, they end up talking about dreams and it is then that each one of them takes it in turns to tell everyone about a recurring nightmare they think they have been having, these tales form the stories in this anthology.

Ok so despite this film having come from the 1970's my main reason for writing this is to convince you that you need to see this film. So to that end I intend to lay out a rough idea of the stories within the film, to sell it to you but I will also be trying to not give away too much.

First there is a tale called Midnight Mess taken from Tales from the Crypt issue 35. It is about a brother who tracks down his sister with the intention of killing her to claim her share of there inheritance. 

This is followed by The Neat Job from the first issue of Shock SuspenStories. Its the tale of an obsessively clean and tidy man who marries what can best be described as a young trophy wife who unfortunately for him doesn't live up to his ideals of domestic home maker this starts to drive him mad, and his reactions begin to do the same to her.

This Trick’ll Kill You taken from Tales from the Crypt issue 33. A magician on a working holiday in India, is searching for new tricks. Nothing gets his attention until he sees a girl charming a rope out of a basket with a flute. Unable to work out how the trick is done, he persuades her to come to his hotel room, so that he can gain this skill.

Bargain in Death taken from Tales from the Crypt issue 28. A man is buried alive as part of an insurance scam concocted with his friend. His friend double crosses him leaving him to suffocate. He is discovered when Two trainee doctors bribe a gravedigger to dig up a corpse to help with their studies.

Drawn and Quartered taken from Tales from the Crypt issue 26. An impoverished painter living on Haiti (Played by Tom Baker). Learns that his work has been sold for large profits by dealers and critics who told him that it was worthless, because of this he goes to a voodoo priest and his painting hand is given a strange power; whatever he paints or draws can be harmed by damaging its image. 

Maybe it is because of Tom Baker and my fondness for the man but Drawn and Quartered is definitely my favourite story and it actually makes me wish that he was involved in more horror films. The man is incredibly eccentric in his acting and this gave us the wonderful Alien 4th Doctor but this same quirk can help him come across as quiet terrifying in a very you have no idea what he could be capable of way. The whole of this film relies on little twists and turns and in all honesty if you are used to the sort of horror movie idea that the sinner must somehow pay for his sins then you will most likely to some extent see everything coming from a mile away yet it still manages to draw you in. It is quiet surprising that the HBO Tales from the Crypt Series never reused any of these stories, the opening story of that series was one of the ones used for the Tales From The Crypt Amicus film years earlier after all.

So I would recommend this film to people who love horror anthology films, people who loved the Tales from the Crypt TV show and want to see more of the EC comics stories on film and to fans of Tom Baker who want to see The Doctor in a less heroic role. This is not the last time I will focus on people from Doctor Who turning up in the world of horror.

My Halloween plans

So its October, a month I am very fond of mostly because Halloween is my favourite holiday, if it was up to me it would be treated as a proper holiday with time off and gifts but unfortunately not everyone is as keen on it as I am. In past years I have tried to watch a horror movie a day or celebrate it in some other magnificent fashion like reading nothing but Stephen King stories all month long. This year I don't really have anything planned. I will probably watch some horror films throughout the month, watch some episodes of things like Tales from the Crypt and Monsters, I will certainly keep track of the Angry Video Game Nerd James Rolf's Cinemasacre Monster Madness.

I would usually watch all of the Nightmare on elm street films one after another but I strangely decided to watch them all on blue ray like this, two a night for the first time recently. In fact it was really strange as the night after I finished watching Wes Craven's new nightmare I woke up to the news he had passed (very sad news to wake up to). So I probably wont be watching those again so soon. I do have al of the original Halloween's on dvd but I did all of those the year before, I also watched all of the Friday the 13th's the last time I noticed an actual Friday the 13th was approaching. In the past I have listened to the Original Radio Broadcast of The War of the Worlds from the 30th of October 1938, which was directed and narrated by Orson Welles, (adapted from H. G. Wells' novel The War of the Worlds). I listend to it in a candle lit room and tried to take in how awesome it must have been when originally played over the radio. It became famous for allegedly causing mass panic, although this has been disputed as apparently it actually had relatively few listeners. I have watched the old British reality–horror/mockumentary television movie Ghost Watch several years. It was first broadcast on BBC1 on the 31st of October 1992 and I was watching it then with my older brother when I was only 11 years old. For anyone who hasnt seen it imagine a one off version of Most Haunted done with Parkinson, Craig Charles, Sarah Green and others which at least latter on was admitted to be completely fake. Even with the fact that you will now know it is not real I would strongly recommend you track down a copy and watch it, the BBC seem to not like to admit it exists probably because it caused panics of its own, including incidences of reported self harm in relation to it and other issues including a service man's wife contacting the BBC to inform them that they owed her for dry cleaning as her husband had shit his pants. It is a real shame the BBC have never done anything like this again as they pulled it off really well, it might not have had the biggest budget but it had some very clever ideas in it and is a lot better than many horror films made on a similar or even much higher budget.

I might just end up looking for as many unheard of or less talked about films as possible, maybe with a mix of things I can watch with my Fiancée without scaring her half to death. What I do around actual Halloween itself depends on the rota I get at work, I might check out if any of the local Cinema's are showing anything special either something new I am not yet aware of or an old classic which I would have been to young to see on the big screen at the time. I would love to see the original black and white Night of the Living Dead on the big screen but I have never found anywhere showing it (If I could ever get my hands on a old one screen cinema like if I won the lottery or something then the first thing I would do would be to show it). So I guess my big plan is I have no big plan, hey but I started off the month by trying to convince everyone to watch Hollow Man which is a horror film so I started out on the right foot I guess.
