I've eaten dinner and taken the dog for a walk. Being it is still roughly 8 o'clock that gives this eight to five working guy a good four hours of movie watching time. As I open my Netflix envelopes to see which new horror films I'm going to get to watch I discover that not only are the films that I hold in my hands not of said genre, but even worse they are ones that my wife has picked out! What sort of evil programmer monster works at Netflix that would put a button in the options that allows someone to supersede my cafeful placement of "Night of the Creeps" the 80's zombie/alien classic at the top of my queue with "The Nanny Season 1 disc 2"? Oh the pain.
After a few moments of deciding how to carefully and more kindly word a statement to my wife that would resemble my thought of "don't change the damn queue, you!" I decide the best thing I can do is give up on that idea and retreat to the living room.
The next decision to make is do I watch the cooking network and fall asleep before nine pm listening to the sweet sound of Rachel Ray making her 30 minute meals or try and find some tv movie that can appease my appetite for horror? Then, as if the idea were sent down by the angels I remember that I have on Demand with my cable. I've browsed the categories a few times, but to be honest I usually have plenty of movies lined up to keep me busy on my dvd spindle waiting to be watched.
As I open of the "Free Movies" and then "Horror" genre, I can't believe my eyes. There on the list of movies is "Night of the Creeps"!!
To make a long story short, my night ended not only with being able to watch the movie that I had originally intended to view, but also with a great idea for some blogging.
In the weeks to come, I'll be reviewing all of the greatly under appreciated/watched classics that Comcast was able to buy for pocket change and offer to me for my viewing pleasures. There are some real winnners, losers & even quite a few films that I've never heard of before on the list.
I hope you're all as excited as I am.
Horror revoir
