Matt Soria's Halloween
I freaking love Halloween, and watching spooky movies. This is a place for me to keep a little record of what my family and I (mostly I) did, watched, and listened to each Halloween.

Matt's notes on Obsession:
Holy shit. I thought this was fantastic. I don't know the last time I was that anxious or on edge watching a movie. The fear and dread I felt over the visual horror (like jump scares, visuals, gore) was probably equal to what I felt with some of the scenarios or subtext. It was unlike anything I've seen. Visually it was also beautiful. An instant classic.
Matt's notes on Susperia:
My first Giallo movie, and it made a huge impression! I love this one. Plus, a classic soundtrack by Goblin.

Matt's notes on Alien:
It's crazy this was made in 1979. There's only two shots that don't look amazing: the ship explosion, and the full body alien at the end. Otherwise everything looks absolutely incredible, and it's genuinely scary.

Matt's notes on Halloween:
My favorite horror movie of all time!
Matt's notes on Black Christmas:
I can't believe it took me this long to watch this movie. I was aware of it being credited as the prototype for slashers, but I didn't know much beyond that. I expected to see some slasher DNA, but also assumed it'd be either kind of bland, or just bad. But it was neither of those things! I'm so surprised by how good this was. Great cast of characters, some really creative shots, some genuinely creepy elements, and a whodunit aspect that kept me interested.
Matt's notes on Candyman:
Scared the crap out of me when I was a kid and saw a clip from the movie. So cool, and love a Chicago movie.
Matt's notes on Psycho:
A classic.
