Michael Myers Mask for Halloween

So this year saw the end of Michael Jackson the man but Michael Jackson the legend is sure to be set live on in history for evermore. Not forgetting that Michael Jackson's 'Thriller Video' contributed to the best selling album of all time and was of course all about Zombie's and the living dead, which as mentioned previously is the very essence of Halloween.

So is this year going to see more Michael Jackson's running around on the 31st October than ever before? The politically correct brigade that vilified Jackson in his latter years have sort of lost the focus of their out pourings because the man has gone and he went having been found innocent of any of the charges that were brought against him.

He certainly won't be brought under suspicion for any alleged misdemeanors again, so there really is no longer any reason for his popularity not to rise to the peaks he held before, that does happen of course when people realise there will be no more new stuff being made and there is much evidence emerging to say that this is exactly what is happening. His name is the 3rd most popular entry in the Internet search engines so far for 2009, which means there are millions upon million of people seeking information on the legend Michael Jackson, bit ironic really.

So I rest my case, this year I think the Michael Myers mask may have to accept second spot to the Michael Jackson mask and this may also prove to be the case in future years as Jacko's return to popularity gains momentum, the bad memories are forgotten and all that people associate Michael Jackson with again is his music and his celebrity status.

So, swiftly changing subject, now the Movies

I have added a couple of what I thought were really scary movies from way back in the 70's, remember the original Halloween Part 1 came out in 1978 when I was a teenager and at that time there were some pretty scary films being premiered. They really knew how to scare you to death back then.

The first I added was the 'Suspiria Trailer', this was said to have included the most vicious murder scene ever and a poll of critics at Total Film named it as the 3rd greatest horror film of all-time, scared the 'you know what' out of me. See Wikipedia for a bit more information. It is basically about a witches coven that was set up in a dance school for teenagers and shows some pretty horrific scenes of how a lot of those teenagers met their end, the glass ceiling scene was particularly well done, but that's not in the trailer.

The second I added which a little better known is 'The Exorcist' starring Linda Blair, this was a really scary film from the seventies which anyone who knows about horror films will know.

What you may not know is that when the film was first released to all the cinemas around the country, there was a big hoo hah about how psychologically disturbing the film was and it was hyped up to the point that there was a public information announcement before each showing of the film telling you where you could go for help if you became disturbed and could not cope after watching the film.

Have to say it worked on me, I have never watched the film again since not even the trailer I just added for your information. Probably wouldn't think that it was particularly scary these days but why take the risk.
