Oh, the Horror!,: October 2013 in Films
October was a busy month for me (I saw An American Werewolf in London on the big screen not once, but TWICE), but I think I got a fair amount of film watching in. I did keep up with a horror film a day, as well as a few others here and there – also saw several 2013 releases, four of which I will discuss a little more after the cut.

Katherine Watson: More! More! I thought I was headed to a place that would turn out tomorrow’s leaders, not their wives!

Walter: You look young this morning, baby.
Ruth: Yeah?
Walter: Yeah. Just for a second, stirring them eggs, you looked real young again.
Ruth: [gives him the look]
Walter: It’s gone now. You look like yourself again.
Ruth: Man, if you don’t shut up and leave me alone. . .
Walter: You know, the first thing a man ought to learn in this life is not to make love to no woman early in the morning. You all are some evil creatures 8 o’clock in the morning.
