HMM '12 Day 30: The Cabin in the Woods

It's almost the end of October! That means two very important things: Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts are here, and Halloween is very near! My favorite thing to do in October to prepare myself for Halloween is to, of course, watch movies that I feel best exemplify the season. Now, this doesn't just mean extreme gore fests (of course, I do love me some gore), but I like to include movies that have that Halloween feel. Anyway, let's get to Day 30 of Halloween Movie Madness 2012!

The Cabin in the Woods
(Lionsgate, 2012)

I have been agonizing over this movie for the past month.  Not because of how I feel about the movie, but because I wasn't sure how I was going to approach it.  Usually, I am one hundred percent against spoilers.  With this movie, however, I feel that I can't really talk enough about it without spoiling some things.  With that said, there will be some spoilers in this post.   

HMM '12 Day 16: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

It's finally October! That means two very important things: Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts are here, and Halloween is near! My favorite thing to do in October to prepare myself for Halloween is to, of course, watch movies that I feel best exemplify the season. Now, this doesn't just mean extreme gore fests (of course, I do love me some gore), but I like to include movies that have that Halloween feel. Anyway, let's get to Day 16 of Halloween Movie Madness 2012!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
(20th Century Fox, 1992)

If you have never seen this movie, and you enjoy the Buffy TV series, you might be disappointed a bit.  Yes, the movie was written by Joss Whedon.  However, his script was not what ended up on the screen.  In fact, the movie is not considered canon with the TV show.  However, that doesn't mean you should discount this movie.  It's a fun watch, and it has one of the best death scenes ever filmed.
