My favorite was Last Man On Earth ("Are you there Morgan?") and Devil Girl From Mars (featuring Vader's long-lost sister Nyah and her laser-firing robot Cheney, I mean Chaney).<BR/><BR/>For Halloween, they showed 4 movies in a row, and mainly decent ones at that: White Zombie, The Door With Seven Locks, The Satanic Rites of Dracula and the original Night of the Living Dead.<BR/><BR/>I think they meant to show Seven Doors of Death for the second feature, because The Door With Seven Locks was a mystery movie instead of a horror film. It was a good movie with strong female leads, which is unusual for the time.theotakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03468654588001090339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-74843021728010927042007-11-02T13:50:00.000-04:002007-11-02T13:50:00.000-04:00We got dozens of kids in our lonely, dark neighbor...We got dozens of kids in our lonely, dark neighborhood where only one other house had welcoming pumpkins on the stoop.

The I actually went out with a group of people (I haven't been trick-or-treating in years and REALLY wanted candy) and we got yelled at by some old man for being out too late. It was like 8 o'clock! I don't know, but when I was a kid I remember trick-or-treaters coming by well after ten. Maybe the rules have changed. Then I watched Hostel 2 and Day Of The Dead. Happy Halloween, I guess.

Do kids not trick or Treat anymore? Sheesh.<BR/><BR/>We watched...what did we watch? I don't really remember. Halloween III, then part of The Pit, then part of Halloween 6 (ugh), then part of Halloween. Oh well.
