Forky's Week of 'Ween

2009 has been on the fast track to being the least spooky Halloween since 2008. No scary games released this month (last year's "Dead Space" on PC, coupled with a slightly opened window, a chill wind, and a set of Bose headphones salvaged last year's Month de Mort for me).

And it's pretty late in the season to start scrounging around for one of yesteryear's catalog of ghoulish games.

So it's time to go back to the movies.

This year on Forky's Week of 'Ween we have:

The latter-day Blair Witch Project that's got America's kids sleeping with the lights on, Paranormal Activity

Sam Raimi's hilarious horror hootenanny, Drag Me to Hell

The infamous Roman Polanski's 1965 disturb-a-thon Repulsion (movie snobs say it's the second most terrifying movie of all time--this particular "Scariest Movies of all Time" list DARED me to watch it by myself with the lights turned off. I accept the challenge)

And one other film.

But which will it be? Right now there are two candidates, the original Night of the Living Dead and arguably the most disturbing movie on Earth, Eraserhead. I've not seen either, but I've heard plenty about them.

Now's your chance. Cast your vote or write in a candidate. Hope! Change! Yes we can!

Spooky, idn' it?

Eraserhead-it is almost as disturbing as the acting Gigli!
