One of my favorites. An all star cast and a brilliant script.

Sneakers (1992) got buried by a goofy title and clumsy marketing, but underneath it is a ridiculously well cast, sharply written caper with real wit and gorgeous early 90s craft. People are only now catching on to how good it always was.

@Illeanarama Connecticut In The Movies was such a handy gift this year. Thank you for the thought and work put into it!

Christmas trend. Going #hatonahat like Billy Bob Thornton (no earring-make it your own) How bout you?

Here's the full clip. (The Italian horror film often cited as the worst of the "Video Nasties" is an extreme example of accepting evil in this sense. It explicitly tried to justify its existence and its cruelty on the fact that Vietnam happened.)

Before the 70s, ghostly justice was mainly seen in Japanese films based on traditional Kaidan. Gordon Lightfoot's "old time movie about a ghost from a wishing well" is meant as poetry, but I'm not sure if any movies in english as-of '69 had this scenario, other than A&Costello.

This was the most chilling and memorable local ghost story growing up. "Crazy" wasn't the word that was handed down, but modern perspective suggests a ton of revision.
I like how the owner of the house tears up over the portrait he tracked down.. as a Mother's Day present.

Reminds me of this study from a few years ago: nerdist.com/article/scarie… I enjoyed Sinister but it definitely operated more in terms of stress than frisson.

At five or so, my mom let me watch the beginning of this and the bullied kid falling on the pumpkin was already a little traumatic, and I had seen enough.😂 Recently I had the same experience as Kael, that Halloween, "keeps you nervous and jumpy rather than pleasurably excited."

@baileylikemovie Woody Allen is so cancelled no-one remembers to mention him here

@SullyCNBC The idea that any sort of preannouncement is respectful to shareholders has to go. (Especially "white glove" industry conference bombs) The date on the calendar in a month is there for a reason

Amazing that social media hasn't mustered more analysis of what happened here. The episode was less scary than the opening of HR Pufnstuf. Parents seemed bothered by other elements, and at least one letter mentioned how merely *changing* stories supposedly disturbed the children.

This is from the banned 1976 Sesame Street episode that only aired once, where Margaret Hamilton played the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz. She doesn't Play it for laughs, she plays it scary and little kids were terrified!
