I'm in and I'll let you choose the competition since youre 2-0 against me. I also want to apologize for not responding quicker. I get busiest around October with school, was busy helping my aunt decorate the house for a month, had the flu 2 weeks, and then lost my internet for a little while.

I need to run to work very soon. I am going to brainstorm at work but I think I have the theme idea down. Thanksgiving movies will count as will Universal Studios films. I'll work out the point system later tonight, but if you want to get started, those movies will get ya points. Cheers! brother Jake. Glad you are feeling better.

Okay. November. Thanksgiving.
I am thankful for my brother David who is nine years older than me torturing me in my early childhood with Horror movies which became an obvious passion of mine. After he left for college in 1982 when I was about eight years old, I kept watching Horror films that I would either rent for our ancient small suitcase-sized betamax VCR or catch on the old USA network either on Commander USA's Groovy Movies on Saturday afternoons or at nighttime on weekends on Night Flight which introduced to me the classic Night of the Living Dead. USA's programming was great in the earliest days of cable.
I also watched Horror flicks hosted by the great and forever beautiful Elvira, Mistress of the Night. Stuff like Count Yorga and other movies from the cheesy fifties to the darker and more reality based seventies.
But I am very thankful for Channel 5 out of Los Angeles which somehow we got in El Paso, Texas (the hometown of Los Guerreros, orale mi raza!). Channel 5 showed Twilight Zone episodes and ran two Twilight Zone Marathons a year that if I remember correctly would run for 24 hours. Great stuff and another thing my brother introduced me to. Channel 5 on weekend afternoons would show a smattering of Horror movies from the great days of black and white magic, movies that included King Kong from RKO and the iconic Universal Monster classics such as Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Creature from the Black Lagoon. So that brings me at this late date way into the month of November to our on going competition.
One point for any non-horror Universal movie.
Two points for any Universal Horror flick from The Hunchback of Notre Dame in the silent era of the 1920s to Bride of Frankenstein which is arguably the best of the classic Universal Monster movies from the 1930s to Abbot and Costello meet the Invisible Man from the 1940s to Creature from the Black Lagoon sequels of the 1950s to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho from 1960 which scared my mom so bad and affected her showering for weeks after her first viewing on the silver screen to Jaws out of the 1970s to the terrible remake of the Wolfman from a few years back (Which had good acting, but a bad plot).
Three points for any non-horror Thanksgiving movie.
And a whopping four points for any Thanksgiving Horror.
So a half month of movie watching. I am currently drinking a refreshing and inexpensive Modelo Especial from Mejico. I bought a very special beer (Deschutes 25th Anniversary Black Butte Porter) a few days ago that I might save for hanging out with a badass gal I kind of have a wee bit of a crush on. That one beer cost me $16.99, so I bought a six pack of sensible beer for my post work weekend nights. So a sensible beer Cheers! to Jake for whooping that flu bug's candyass.

Two movies and three points to report after work and then I'll work on two more points. All black and white awesomeness.
Win, lose, or draw, you pick the theme for December JAS. Cheers!

Been too tied up with life, a crazy woman, and work especially
I watched Psycho (1960), Harvey (1950), and Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein (1948).
I love Psycho and have been watching this masterpiece for decades.
Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein is fun times and this was my second viewing.
Harvey was my first viewing and I highly recommend this movie to children and adults of all ages and simply put, I recommend this movie now to everyone. Do yourself a favor and watch it. To recap, LOB 5.
