It's October! The doorway to not only the start of the greatest food
season (early October to Christmas), but also to sexy nurses, zombies,
and grown men dressing up like ponies. That also means it is time once
again for Halloween Movie Madness! This year, I'll be taking a
look back at the movies of my youth. Every movie this year was released
before I turned eighteen. These are the Halloween movies that shaped
me into the man I am today. Some of them are scary. Some are funny.
Some are fantastical. Some are just weird. And not all of them are
good. But to me, they are all Halloween movies. Now, stand back, for
your own safety!
Flash Gordon
1980
Flash (AAAAaaaaah) Gordon is a movie that I have a special place in my heart for. It's not a good movie by any means, but it is a lot of fun to watch. I've always been a fan of campy movies, and Flash Gordon fits perfectly into that wheelhouse. My viewing last night was extra special, because it was the first time my son watched it. I love having these times with my son, because I get to see him experience the movies for the first time.
