Horror Movie Drinking Game
Any movie you can think of probably has a specialized drinking game to go along with it. This seems especially true of HORROR movies! A well planned horror movie drinking game utilizing some specialized alcoholic beverages can be a great way to celebrate Halloween (or, well, any Friday night) with friends. Instead of having to memorize a bunch of really specific rules pertinent to different movies, Riddle has devised a list of 13 generic drinking rules that can work with any horror movie. Please check out their website for example videos for each rule...but if you need a printable list or don't feel like waiting for that page to load, I've copied the rules here for your convenience.
TAKE A DRINK WHEN...
1. Something obviously creepy is happening and the future victim doesn't seem alarmed for far too long.
2. A victim dies in an over-the-top, elaborate way. Drink twice if its the FIRST victim.
3. Someone runs upstairs when he/she should be running outside.
4. The phone line has been cut or there is no cell phone reception.
5. The police are useless, bumbling, or skeptical.
6. Ominous music starts playing.
7. The person running from the killer can't find the car keys or the car won't start.
8. There is a scene in the middle of nowhere (for example: a cabin in the woods, a house with no neighbors, or a summer camp).
9. Two of the characters are having an intimate moment and the killer is nearby. Drink twice if they are in a car.
10. There is a creepy child, doll or animal. Warning: This could get pretty messy if you're watching any of the Child's Play or Children of the Corn movies.
11. Anyone in your group watching the movie jumps, gasps, or screams at the TV.
12. Someone makes a bad quip or pop culture reference. Drink twice if its while killing the villain.
13. You think the bad guy is dead but he comes back for one last scare.

The Shatner Masks
Today's Movie Monday is a little bit of trivia for you! By now it's pretty common knowledge that the mask Michael Myers wears in Halloween is a William Shatner mask, chosen because it was the cheapest one available.
According to the article from Daily Dawdle, the mask was then spray painted white, creating the visual that has haunted us all since 1978. But, have you ever seen the unaltered version of the mask? The Daily Chive has provided that little gem for us and it is HORRIFYING!
The mask was produced by Don Post Studios and is actually not JUST Shatner, but is a Captain Kirk mask from a 1966 Star Trek costume. This little fun-fact was discovered in 1981 when Rich Sternbach was working on HALLOWEEN 2 and it was discovered that only one of the original Michael Myers masks remained. He was the one who discovered the model number of maker's name on the neck and made the call to the company, ordering a whole box of the now iconic face. In an article and accompanying video posted on a Star Trek website, William Shatner admits to taking his daughter trick-or-treating one year donning his own face!

Why We Love Hocus Pocus
It's Movie Monday and probably the best Halloween ever is Hocus Pocus. I saw this in the theater with my best friend, Christy, when we were in 4th grade---and its remained not only a favorite Halloween movie of mine, but one of my all-time favorites overall.
This delightful little infographic apparently comes from Buzz Feed. I saw it sometime last year and never made the connection that Thackery Binx grew up to be on NCIS, a show my mom watches religiously! I was also pleased that this poster also mentions that 'Mary Sanderson' and Peggy Hill are voiced by the same actress since I'm also a huge King of the Hill fan!
(Just a quick note---this will not be the only post on this blog that either mentions or is dedicated to this modern classic!)
