I had so many links collected and unshared for this ghostly month. Those that can, will be re-purposed. On this Halloween night, I sign-off the month with a visual feast. The Halloween movie lists have been running fast and furious as the day wore on. But none of the lists I saw stepped into the realm of the late 80s John Carpenter mind-twistyness of THEY LIVE.

Thanks to Twitterer Sultanica you and I can watch Carpenter’s masterpiece dark comedy/thriller. Marvel at the silent confusion of Roddy Piper guiding you through a story. Cheer as he and Keith David wail on each other for about 20 minutes of the flick. Nod knowingly at the idea of yuppies really being secret space aliens sent down to pacify lowly humans with subliminal messages of CONSUME and OBEY. (They also want sex with our women but that’s a whole ‘nother list of xenophobia fears that we won’t get into right now.)
