Michael's Musings

We've Met Before, Haven't We?
Michael Shinafelt

Boo! Hello Minions! As you know it's my favorite time of the year October, not least because of Halloween happening all month long. I am a hard one to give a good scare to, or to get creeped out over something, But it does happen on occasion. 

Thus the photo above is a homage to Robert Blake as "Mystery Man" in David Lynch's Lost Highway. Every time he appeared on screen a sense of dread and fear washed over me. It was one of those lightning in a bottle experiences, the images of him still haunt me to this day. That's all...

Just found out that female penguins will exchange sex for nice rocks. So if you're having a sh!t day, just remember that hooker penguins exist

Did one of those which Halloween character are you things online. Turns out I'm Annabelle, go figure

Hitting the 50th Anniversary Screening of Carrie at Hollywood Forever Cemetery this Saturday. Can't wait to see the ending in that setting! IYKYK!!!

I love how in horror movies the person yells out "Hello?" as if the killer is gonna yell out, "In the kitchen, want a sandwich?" 

BTW if you believe forcing God into schools will improve morality, I'm gonna need you to explain why it didn't work in your church...I'm waiting!!!

Saw a great indie revenge film called Violation on Tubi. It's definitely has it's own unique POV and well worth watching.

While Googling, very few letters are as important as the "R" in Gary Oldman, think about it, but not too much

Did you know Charles Manson and Ted Bundy were lovers on the Titanic, it's true - Ryan Murphy, probably

Woman Crush of the Week - The Queen of Spooky Season Sarah Michelle Gellar not just for Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Helen Shivers from I Know What You Did Last Summer is iconic as well. Were not worthy!

The only difference between "Religion" and "Superstition" is the spelling. The more you know.

Who's the biggest slut in the pumpkin patch??? Tell me

Repeat after me: "I'm too amazing to be someone's unsure thing" 

"I wish the world thought more like a gay man" - Shannen Doherty 

Parting Thought: What kind of creatures do you see in your dreams when you take off brand melatonin???

That's Hot (Sauce)

Ring My Bell
Paris Hilton

Today is National Taco Day...and in the immortal words of Paris Hilton "That's Hot"

See Paris imbibing in my favorite fast food chain Taco Bell. "Yes" I said The Bell is my favorite on the go thing to grab and eat. Fight me, or not.

However if I'm up for something that takes minimal preparation there's also my go to Home State on Hollywood Blvd. 

That's all.

"We're going to the fair,
To see a señorita
With a tacos in her hair"

BTS

Sissy Spacek
On The Set Of
"Carrie"

Let's kick off the week with a BTS (behind the scenes) photo of Sissy Spacek on the set of Brian DePalma's Carrie.

As you can see pig's blood becomes Sissy, as she is obviously between takes of the notorious prom scene.

Carrie is one of my favorite films and I will be attending the 50th Anniversary Screening of it this Saturday at Hollywood Forever Cemetery...can't wait!

Have a terrific week.

Carrie White Burns In Hell!!!

It's the first Friday of October with 29 more days until Halloween! Here to start getting everyone in the mood is Bela Lugosi as Dracula in the 1931 movie.

Red velvet lines the black box
