Horrors, 10/24.

"[E]very once in awhile - even at this time of year, when all's I wanna do is mainline candy corn and park my ass at every dang midnite-movie spook show in town, and god bless San Francisco, there's a living-dead army of 'em - I get the urge to raid my bookshelf for some supplementary reading." The San Francisco Bay Guardian's Cheryl Eddy offers a few seasonal suggestions.

The "month of horror, terror and general mayhem" at the Pioneer Theater in NYC reaches a shrieking cresendo this weekend with an "all night cinematic seance of witch and warlock movies."

Robbiefreeling at Reverse Shot: "[W]hat Roeg and Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie were able to accomplish in Don't Look Now still feels unmatched in the horror genre: the ultimate coupling of love and death, both represented in their extremes."

At Not Coming to a Theater Near You, Chiranjit Goswami explains why Ghostbusters is "a tremendously nerdy film.... Ivan Reitmans buddy-comedy innately exudes an inordinate amount of anxiety regarding a variety of qualms and insecurities that are thought to typically hound frequently obsessive, often introverted, intellectual males."

For two nights only, October 30 and 31, Halloween returns to the big screen. Via Brendon Connelly.
