happy halloween!

one of the things i love about halloween is all the scary movies shown on tv. the best scary movies are the pyschological ones, not the bloody/gory ones. i just saw most of the 1978 invasion of the body snatchers this sunday and, although the f/x are cheesy, it's still pretty creepy. i think it's that sense of helplessness. also, it's filmed in san francisco, my first beautiful city by the bay. sf loves its halloween - well, until this year's nonparty. i've been to the castro halloween event 3 or 4 times. costumes are amazing and people are generally friendly but i have to agree that it's gotten out of hand. too bad because it's so cool.
