Last year, Eric and I concluded our two months of Halloween coverage with "fear of being a bad horror movie geek week" in which we watched iconic horror movies that we had never seen before. And while it was a little embarrassing to admit some of the films that we had never seen (especially with how much we love horror movies), we have long said that we do not think that anyone should be shamed for movies that they have not yet seen. Instead, there should be excitement for the person because they still have new cinematic experiences ahead of them! So, for this year's 60 Days til Halloween coverage, Eric and I are focusing entirely on horror movie blind spots! Unlike last year, we will not be putting out a daily episode during the months of September and October. However, we have some awesome movies (we hope) and some amazing guests lined up for this year!! We will also be doing daily posts on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) as part of our 60 Days til Halloween celebration...and we are still going to do our best to get a daily horror movie viewing in (though, that's not a guarantee). Even though our 60 Days til Halloween coverage does not officially start until September 1st, we are pre-gaming a bit by doing a review of Eraserhead (a movie that neither Eric nor I have ever seen before) because Central Cinema will be screening Eraserhead on August 30th and September 1st - and we wanted to make sure to tell everyone (in or around Knoxville) to go see this absurd, emotional, amazing film!!
If you enjoy this episode, be sure to check back soon for more cinematic discussions on The Gargyle Podcast - where we take movies seriously, but not ourselves!! Our next episode will be the "official" start of 60 Days til Halloween coverage!!
