Halloween [1978] (5 Stars)

It's time for my Halloween tradition. This is the film I watch every year on October 31st. Or should I say 31st October? In England it's usual to put the day first, but over the years I've grown used to the American order. I usually avoid Americanisms, but I've never claimed to be consistent.

Incidentally, I actually watched this film after midnight on November 1st. There was too much going on for me to watch it on Halloween itself. I've backdated my review to 11:59 pm on October 31st.

Yesterday was the first time my grandson Oliver ever went trick-or-treating. He went out with his father, my son-in-law. He said he would only go walking, not knock on any doors. It's not something that's done a lot in Germany. But then he saw some teenagers collecting sweets, so he plucked up courage. Oliver got some sweets on the way, but not very many. Not many families were prepared. Maybe next year.

This is me in my first and only Halloween costume, way back in 2014. No, I didn't go trick-or-treating, I just threatened beautiful young women. Unfortunately, I wasn't very good at it. Look how the woman is grinning. She knew me too well. I'm the most harmless man alive.

I didn't encourage Oliver to wear the costume. He picked it himself. A good choice. Serial killing must be in the Hood genes. Oh wait! Didn't I just say I was harmless?

Before anyone says anything, I'm ashamed that my room (where Oliver was standing) looks so dirty. I never pay attention when I walk in and out. I'll sweep the floor tomorrow. I promise.
