What are u doing for halloween week?

just read a book I haven't read for many years, Charnel House, by Graham Masterton, a story about an ancient indian evil, (North American red indian) I had a few of his novels, most famously the Manitou, and revenge/return of the Manitou, both very good novels, based around an ancient red indian medicine man, Misquamacus, who was reincarnated in the body of a young woman, they made a movie of the book in the 70's, starring Tony Curtis, Susan Strasberg, Michael Ansara, and Burgess Meredith, not a great movie but Ok.

On the subject of movies, I watched the remake of the Omen on Tv the other night, in all honesty it was a scene for scene remake albeit with a different cast, however it lacked the aura of the original, and the parts were not as well played as the original, it is interesting that at the time, The Omen was billed as a direct challenge to the Exorcist, and it was suggested that it was a more disturbing film, whilst it was a good film it didn't rival the Exorcist, both in it's content and it's shockability.
