     Day 31 Halloween, finally, brings me to one of the sickest independent film I have ever saw, Edward Lee's "Header".  What went down as a story that could "never" be filmed, was actually attempted.  The title says all you need to know, let your imagination go with it, and yes they filmed it.  Getting high praise from Tony Timpone, then editor of Fangoria Magazine, and Edward Lee, himself, and IGN.com, plus Official Selection to the 2006 Rhode Island International Film Festival, this film holds true to the story.  It tells the story government agent playing both sides of the law and trying to solve some gruesome murders, he encounters the ultimate revenge in the deep woods, the header.  Once witnessed, never forgotten, and life seems so very twisted after that despicable act.  I loved this film along with author Ed Lee, I had to see what the fuss was about.  Ed Lee and fellow author Jack Ketchum have small roles in this one also a highlight.   If your mind is as sick and twisted as mine this is a must see, the header, violence, and gore all mix well in this film.  Great film and a must see.

     Day 30 brought me too my absolute favorite musical........"Repo! The Genetic Opera".  This film has it all great story, superb blood, and excellent musical numbers.  I am truly shocked at how they pulled this off.  But the talented Darren Lynn Bousman has an eye like no other, he is a visionary director.  And to here all the songs were surprisingly funny and well sung.  The plot and storyline is exceptional.  The blood and costume wears were elegant, from the design to the execution.  This film is one that is a must for any horror fan.  It shines brightly through all the misconceptions of a musical, it has the blood, acting, and plot any horror film should have.  Don't let the musical aspect ruin it for you, enjoy.

     Day 29 is "See No Evil" part 1, which may be a WW Film, but it still was good horror film by my standards with all the blood and suspense.  It stars wrestler "Kane" or Glenn Jacobs as Jacob Goodnight and his killing were very graphic, surprisingly.  He likes to rip out eyes, and once community service, and the cop who shot him, he can finally get his revenge.  And his huge frame at 7 feet tall, and 400 pounds makes him scary without any weapons.  I recommend this movie, it doesn't feel like most action oriented WW Films, it feels like it should be franchised, which I know about part 2.
