Underneath my mind-skin... (a list that haunts me)


I've tried to write a few longer posts this month, but the words refuse to cooperate.  So here is a list of three pieces of entertainment that continue to haunt me long after I left the theater, switched off the television or turned the last page.  

1. THE EXORCIST (1971) 
The cinematic masterpiece seems like an amusement park funhouse after reading this psychologically dark and disturbing novel of demonic possession. 

2. CANDYMAN (1992) 
Guess who still can't look in a mirror and say his name five times. 

3. CHANNEL ZERO: CANDLE COVE (2016) 
I seriously enjoyed this television series about twins, creepy puppets and a small town harboring dark secrets, but I literally get chills when I think about its claustrophobic atmosphere or when I hear calliope music. 

Thank you for reading or listening to my half-blind words.

Freak Out,

P.S.  Oh, and have a Happy Halloween!
