Psycho (1960)
In this article, we will be looking at 2019’s book “1001 Movies to See Before You Die” and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I won’t be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself you’ll have to buy it. But I will be covering the book’s suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. We’re going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but we’re also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like “Joker” will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then don’t hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Let’s get on with it then.

It Hunts Me
The Pine Wheel Roadhouse was almost empty and the air was almost still. The fan overhead, turning beside the mounted deer head and old Moxie sign, wasn’t doing a thing to move the air about the bar. The shitty decorations they put up every year weren’t swaying in the least. Halloween, and this warm. A true Indian summer was growling slowly over Vermont. It was two in the afternoon and the soft dull heat of the outdoors was floating in through the cracks. Peggy silently cursed old Reggie Tuttle every time he went outside for a smoke, because his bad hip caused him to move slowly and the heavy front door was left open for five seconds at a time. Once that heat got in, it was in for the night.

The Case of Bloody Mary
You know growing up I can remember my brother always trying to scare me with things like spiders, and took it over the line of normal brother torment of the little brother... but the one game I remember him telling me about a game, and the one game I think that we ALL have played by ourselves or with another person in our lives at one time or another........Bloody Marry.

Film Review: Doctor Sleep
People have a real love/hate relationship with sequels in general, but horror fans can be tougher sells than most. That goes double when you’re talking about a sequel to a masterpiece like Kubrick’s The Shining. However, it’s hard for even diehard sequel haters to deny that Dr. Sleep looks promising on paper. It’s directed by the talented Mike Flanagan (Hush, Gerald’s Game), based on a hit novel by Stephen King, and stars the consistently great Ewan McGregor (Nightwatch), but does it actually deliver or are you better off simply re-watching The Shining instead?

The Best Halloween
My favourite Halloween would have to be my very first Halloween. During my lifetime, living with my parents, I could not celebrate Halloween like my friends did, due to my parents and other family members religious beliefs and views I wasn’t allowed to celebrate my favourite holiday. Although publicly I could not and did not celebrate, I found a way to still get my Halloween fix, celebrating in private, hidden from my family and their religion. I uploaded outfits, makeup transformations and artwork about Halloween for a month before and a month after the wonderful holiday on my social medias, which my parents did not know I had, let alone could have access to. I was very smart about hiding my socials, my security was very strict on it and my friends could only follow through a code that I would give them, that would become useless after one use.
