Valerie 3

Over at the Auteur’s Notebook, I out­line my the­ory as to why the crazy 1970 Czech fantasy Valerie and Her Week of Wonders is an exem­plary Halloween film. Whatever scary movies you’re watch­ing tonight, have a blast.

    I DVRed a whole pant­load of movies from TCM last night, like “Mr. Sardonicus”, “Torture Garden” and “Dead of Night”. That’s prob­ably what I’ll be up to. I wish there was a good haunted house in my area, since I kind of have a hanker­in’ for one of those. Maybe there is, and I just don’t know it.

    I’ve always had great trouble stay­ing awake dur­ing Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, though when I wake up after nap­ping for a few minutes, the res­ult­ing images are cer­tainly startling.
