Halloween 2015: Sunday with Cinema

Sounds of the Season:

A fairly famous song based on Stephen King's Firestarter

Your Sunday Matinee:

I went into Cabin in the Woods not expecting much. But the movie surprised me. It was not only a solid horror movie in its own right, it was a send-up of the genre, until the horrifying conclusion yanked that bit of safe distance out from under me as well.

Your Creepy Pics of the Day:

Cinema Sunday is hosted by four Masters of the Macabre,  Christopher Lee, Vincent Price, John Carradine and Peter Cushing.
This still is from the movie House of Long Shadows, which I recommend highly.

Cabin in the Woods is really a good movie. It's not just a send-up, but a loving homage as well. There are SO MANY references to other horror genre entries, both obvious and subtle.

I know, right? I read an article that suggested we, the audience, are the elder gods, the ones the sacrifice is offered to, always according to the ritual. And if it's unacceptable, we destroy the movie with word of mouth.
