Getting Started Early

We have a very special occasion around here tomorrow--a Fright Night Birthday.  This works by giving loads of scary movies and television shows and the birthday recipient gets to choose what gets played.  Of course, they also have the choice to play whatever they choose.  It is basically a Free For All with new stuff.

Starting Off With:

Episode:  The Power of Ideas




So what's so scary about this??  It's history.  The old saying that truth is stranger than fiction often applies to a lot of historical documentaries; and that holds so here.  Dealing with such subjects as Hindu cremation, poverty in India and the Untouchables (the lowest caste in the country), it really gets under the skin after a while.  It makes me look forward to such "lovelies" like 28 Days Later, Hannibal, Psycho and host of other Horror Movies.  Take a look below
