So like last time, I just want to do a little poll and see what posts you all enjoyed this year so I can make it even better next year. Sadly, I didn’t get to finish everything I wanted to complete from last year. I planned to finish the posts for all the Universal Monster Movies ;  but only got to The Mummy and The Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Wolfman will have to wait ’till next year. I also really wanted to do posts on Alfred Hitchcock’s movies, like The Birds, Psycho, Rebecca, and Strangers on a Train; but also wasn’t able to get to them. I really, really, really wanted to do Vincent Price films; like House on Haunted Hill. The Tomb of Ligeia, The Pit and the Pendulum, but those didn’t get a chance either. 😦

I’d like to know which were your faves are so vote, vote, vote! If you are unsure which to pick then why don’t you pop over and start at the beginning. Also I’d like to know what you wish I had posted on. Just leave a comment at the bottom of the page! :D

CANDY TIME!

CANDY!

I love Candy! One of my favorite movies as a kid was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Not only did I love the story and the songs, but I loved that opening scene when all the kids get free candy. I really wanted to be in that film.

I had this WHOLE song memorized by the first time I watched this film.

Anyways, with Halloween just ending, and me with a huge collection of candy, I wanted to share what my favs that I was able to get are.

First that special thing that only comes out once a year,

CANDY CORN & CANDY PUMPKINS

I love these things and wished they were available all year long. Candy corn always makes me think of Hemlich in a Bugs’ Life. This line always pops in my head:

GUMBALL NERDS!

They also only come out at Halloween. Every other time they are impossible to find.

Finally something GOOD!

Finally the wait is over!

Now who doesn’t love Nerds?

Nerds

Nerds are one of my favorite candies, and luckily  I can eat these any time!

M&Ms! These I can also eat anytime, all the time. Peanut, pretzel, mint, coconut, chocolate, etc.

Chocolate makes everything better

Also Mike&Ikes! My absolute fave! I hope they get back together soon.
