watched Texas Chain Saw Massacre (my first time) and Candyman (my wife's first time) today.

TCSM was good. i can understand why it's important in the horror oeuvre and it was certainly entertaining, but it's definitely not my favorite "slasher" film.

this was the first time i'd watched candyman in probably 20 years. as a kid, it scared the fucking shit out of me. as an adult, all of the sociopolitical and racial implications are almost as upsetting as the scary shit. such a powerful film.

tomorrow is Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1978) which i also haven't seen since i was a kid, so i'm very excited. and my wife has never seen it, so that's extra exciting!
