too late to ask for movie recs but not too late for candy

happy halloween, o my flist, and a blessed samhain to them what celebrate it. candy and toasted pumpkin seeds for all!

what's the most popular trick-or-treat candy in your state? in mass, it's apparently sour patch kids, followed by butterfingers, followed by salt water taffy. mmm, taffy

I got bored during today's ep of This is Us and muted it during a commercial and forgot to unmute it. Oops.

MN's candies are Tootsie Pops, Skittles and Almond Joy. Meh. NY's are Sour Patch Kids, Candy Corn and Reese's Cups. WTF NY, candy corn? I am so disappointed in you, birth state. Personally, I am hoping for plenty of Reese's type things to be found tomorrow on my half-price-candy pilgrimage to the various stores around here. Yummm candy.

I miss video stores, although with cable and internet streaming, I guess they're not needed much anymore.

oops is right! i loved the flashback scenes with adult randall, and not just because he named his first kid after a ceiling fan.

i like almond joys! not as much as mounds, but more than skittles and tootsie pops. i too am disappointed in your birth state! at least their third candy choice is a good one. did you get any good half off candy?

[donutsweeper]

Sadly, I did not. There was some 'chocolate flavored' stuff and off brand blow pops and that was it :( I am trying different places today.

I watched Nosferatu (the original silent) about 2 weeks ago and have Shadow of a Vampire to watch this weekend. So Halloween movies adjacent to the day but not on this year. I'm rarely that thematic, it's kind of fun.

halloween adjacent! i like that. how was nosferatu?

[beeker121]

It's worth seeing. It has all the same over-emoting and weird makeup of the silent era, but Schreck as the Count is really creepy and some of the effects they came up with are surprisingly effective. It's obvious why Stoker's heirs sued them because other than the names it's Dracula, but done really well.

Ah, The Lost Boys and Near Dark-- what a great combination!

I'm not really a fan of true horror/slasher movies, so those two are about my speed, and things like "Fright Night" or some M.Night Shyamalan extravaganza. :)

i'm not a fan of slasher horror either, which made finding halloween movies i'd like extra fun, but the 80s were generally a safe bet. plus which, so much of the lost boys is so silly.
