Fantastic movie if you were a fan of Brandon Lee. Though Brandon was killed while filming this movie it's still an enjoyable movie about Eric Draven a young rock star and his fiance Shelly Webster who planned their wedding for Halloween or Devil's Night. Eric returns home to find that nasty people are in the apartment with Shelly. They shoot Eric who falls out the window of the attic apartment to his death. They then rape and seriously wound Shelly. Dr's battled to save her but were unable. A year later on Devil's Night Eric is brought back to life to seek revenge on the ones who hurt and killed Shelly. He is helped along the way by a crow.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2635 KP) rated Stirring the Plot (Cookbook Nook Mystery, #3) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

A local group who have dubbed themselves the Winsome Witches use October to raise funds for literacy. However, this year their leader is murdered. With Jenna’s Aunt Vera a member of the group, Jenna starts poking around to find the killer.

I truly do enjoy these characters, and so I was delighted to spend time with them again. The plot does drag in the middle a bit, but the clues all come together for a great climax. There was also more about Aunt Vera’s supposed psychic abilities than normal, an emphasis I didn’t like. Overall, however, I found this a fun Halloween cozy.

Classic Carpenter!

Director John Carpenter had a lot to live up to and deliver after his striking masterpiece Halloween. He decided to tell an old school ghost story about a coastal town in northern California which is cursed and subject to a mysterious "Fog" which rolls into town and carries ghoulies within its misty depths.

Not as well known or remembered as some other Carpenter works, The Fog still delivers some creepy scares and gruesome death scenes reminiscent of other Carpenter films.

Great cast of vintage horror icons like Janie Lee Curtis, Janet Leigh and Adrienne Barbeau make the story more enjoyable and believable.

The film shows its age in parts, but is still an enjoyable horror classic.
