It's October...it's Halloween!



So, it's October which can only really mean one thing. Yes, that's right. The time has come when we can dress up as our alter egos and have fun in ways we wouldn't be able to otherwise. Yes it's nearing Halloween, which in my opinion, is one of the best times of the year. I was thinking about the sorts of films I like to watch during Halloween and films like Hocus Pocus and The Addams Family figured in my mind.

Beetlejuice was another. It was on Beetlejuice that I remembered what a fabulous actress Winona Ryder was. She also, even to this day, carries that certain kind of cool only a few other actors and actresses can (Helena Bonham-Carter...etc.) It's a shame we don't get to see her that often anymore save for the re-runs of Little Women or her brief appearance as Spock's mother in the recent Star Trek. I feel like Ryder and Tim Burton need to reunite to make more crazy and out-of-this-world films like Beetlejuice again. She has that sort of face that offers that freedom to do anything and be anything. Or better yet, a film with Ryder, Depp and Bonham-Carter directed by Burton. Now I know that's an awful lot of names, but they are good names nontheless and no bad come from them. x
