Happy Halloween!

One Thing About Halloween II…

Harold just wants a sandwich to snack on while he watches George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead on TV.  A few streets over Michael Myers just got shot six times, yes six times, and took a dive off the second-floor balcony.  He has not had a sandwich in days.  

Mrs. Elrod is taking her sweet ass time getting to Harold’s sandwich, maybe she heard some gun shots outside?  Mike is trying to get away from Dr. Loomis and hears this at a nearby house because the windows are open on a nice cool Halloween night, "Harold, you want mayonnaise on your sandwich? How about mustard? ... Are you asleep again?”  Mike thinks to himself a sandwich sure sounds good right about now, time to go inside this house.  Mike quietly opens the screen door as the woman walks to the living room, sneaks in and sees the best-looking sandwich he has ever seen next to a jar of mustard, mayonnaise, a knife, and cokes!  But Mike looks forward and sees a man sitting in a recliner with his back facing him; unbeknown to him that Harold is asleep, but he looks like a bad ass, so Mike gets scared and grabs the knife and slowly sneaks back out.   

I have always thought that if Harold was awake right then he would have kicked Mike’s ass and the whole movie series would have been over right there.  Just saying.

How Have I Missed This?

I was watching Psycho the other night, as I always do this time of this year, and I noticed something I have never seen in any viewing before:

Mother’s skeleton over Norman at the very end of the movie.  I had to grab the remote and make sure I saw what I saw and indeed she is there.  Anytime I watch this during this last part of the movie I am probably getting the next movie queued up or grabbing another beverage, so I have been missing this for years.  See, you do catch new things on repeat viewings.  Cue the end music!
