I haven't seen Carved, but I have seen the other two and generally agree with you on them. I wouldn't bother watching Trick r Treat again (we saw it on Halloween too, no kids came to our door at all so we just tucked in early and watched DVDs), Wasp Woman is good for a repeat laugh now and again.

That's a good Halloween.

I love taking Emily everywhere and doing the family stuff, but I do wish Halloween had a second day so adults can just marathon-watch monster movies and eat crap until they drop.

Because I'm a child.

I don't know about you, but no children come around in our neighbourhood. I know there are kids in the area. I think a lot of the little ones get taken to "Halloween parties" in shopping malls where they file from store to store in shabby store-boughten costumes, receiving candy doled out by robotic teenager clerks who only want to be outside creating mayhem themselves. It's just sad.

A Margaret O'Brien reference in a write-up of a Japanese horror movie. My head hurts. This is why I read what you write.

Thanks. Sorry your head hurts. Imagine how I feel?

I dunno if it's the same place, but the Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service manga has set at least one story in a large wood popular with suicides. Creepsy.
