Part of the fun of Halloween season is watching all the deliciously creepy flicks that seem to make their way into our dark, empty homes and keep us company whilst we sleep- alone, in the dark.
One of my favorites is the collection of short films, a collaboration of masters of terror Stephen King and George Romero called Creepshow. This film is a chilling homage to horror comic books of the 1950s such as "Tales From The Crypt," "The Vault of Horror," "The Witching Hour," etc.
The Hootenanny Countdown Selection Committee has chosen the clip below to represent this fine film. Starring Academy Award nominee Hal Holbrook and the legendary Adrienne Barbeau (who will no doubt have another entry in this year's Halloween countdown), it is the tale of an obnoxious, shrew of a wife who pushes her quite professor husband around and shrilly commands anyone she meets to "just call me Billie." Ol' Hal just usually sits and daydreams of how to get rid of her but never actually believes he could...
that is, until, a colleague of his discovers an old crate hidden away in their university.
The following clip... may delight you.
That's what you get for messing with old mysterious crates that have chains on them.
Sleep tight kids!
