I was a rebel twat growing up, didn't like the C word, didn't like birthdays or having to hang out with family or any of that. But my dark days made me realize I should take any good will where ever it may be. If it has to wait until the holidays to make itself known, then so be it. Even if I don't like Thanksgiving, or celebrate non-Christian holidays. I return the good cheer, but I usually go with 'have a good one' for whatever rather than starting the chain of holiday greetings. Be it your upcoming festivities or just your day, have a good one. It makes a huge difference to some people's day.
ps why DOES the christain or whatever new year start off in January? The weather here is just the end of the fucking world. The roads and just everything are covered with snow and ice (mostly ice), single people on V-day are making poor life decisions and offing themselves. The mortality rate is just not a good one, if you ask me, new year should start in spring. It should be a matter of where you live, not culture. But eh, maybe that's just me too.

I enjoyed myself but like. I'm sitting there thinking... wait what just freaking happened?!
The build up was so gradual, that my brain had to work overtime to keep up with how fast the ending was. So the guy hit his wife then killed his co-workers? I feel something more severe happened at home like he hit the baby and killed it but it wasn't very clear on that. Just kept playing the same damn audio clip over and over again without showing us what happened.
I did enjoy the session tapes with Mary though. Simon's interview was worth the wait.

Pretty fun watch. Far from perfect but effective enough to keep me involved. Very nice concept and decent excecution. The Halloween attractions are cool and range from pretty cheesy to damn scary, and some of the attractions characters are visually memorable. I'm glad I gave it a second look this Hallowday month.

I saw this a few months ago and really liked it too. I remember talking to Horcrux about it and we thought there was something off about the ending. I think I was just getting attached to the characters and was upset to see what happened to them.
The idea behind this movie is what keeps it in good terms with me though. I really want to throw my friends in a van and go on a Haunted House road trip.
