Halloween


I’ve not looked at the TV listings for later tonight - but I'm sure that somewhere or other John Carpenter's famous film - Halloween, starring Jamie Lee Curtis - will be showing.

A good film - though not his best - I would have to give that to Starman and Jeff Bridges - which blends a road movie and a comedy - into a clever play on 'ET goes home'.

Time for a sequel I would say - to see what became of the Starman's earthly son.

But what the TV schedulers should be listing on Halloween is the Michael Jackson short film - Thriller - which caused a sensation in its day.

First broadcast in 1982 - John Landis - who made Amercian Werewolf in London - showcased the American superstar at his very best.

To my mind it would be a fitting tribute to Michael Jackson - and a counterpoint to his sad and untimely death.

Here's the You Tube link to a performer with the world at his feet - just a shame things didn't stay that way.

Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
