What's up with all the spooky movies in April? I can
remember not too long ago when October was the only month
that spooky movies were released in. But these days it's become
practically every month. But April seems to be the one the industry
unleashes the most of them on, aside from October. Maybe even
more than in October. Is there some kind of backlash from the
Devil Cult worshipers of Hollywood, against Easter and
Passover? Isn't having their own month in the fall, good
enough for these evil bozos? Maybe it's their movies that
are directly responsible for things like the Columbine
massacre. They're probably very proud of the fact that their
spooky movies have timed releases to coincided with that,
and Hitler's birthday.
.
Ya know back in the day, politicians were so worried about
the commie menace having any influence in Hollywood. Frankly,
I think it was all a put on, to squash unionizing of the
lower rank employees. It was Ok for the directors guild
to form. But not anyone else, because that was going to start
costing the studios money. This was before they realized
they could save a ton on union labor by filming in Canada
and Mexico. So I think the unionizing just got lumped in
with the political ideologies of a few actors and writers.
As if they were really going to get something passed the
studio censors.
.
But ever since those bad old days of the studio blacklist,
that "didn't exist". Their hasn't been anyone checking out if
producers and directors aren't spreading the word of
Satan, a bit too often or too much. I mean, I'm all for a
good scary movie once in a while. But we get a really good
religious epic maybe once every ten years. And about a
dozen of these blood-dripping-from-the-walls fright flix
every single year. Isn't Hollywood just a bit overly
obsessed with cranking out this stuff? Most of it isn't
even any good. And it rarely, if ever shows up as a Oscar
nominee.
.
Maybe Hollywood is just so desperate to make a buck in the
late spring, that it keeps a bunch of these horror directors
on tap, just to crank out this crap for the 18-24 year olds.
And April is just the most convenient time to release them,
so they don't take up valueable screen time during the
summer "blockbuster" schedule. And certainly not during
the late summer, early fall, Oscar contender schedule. Which
is probably why there might actually be fewer horror movies
out in October than now.
.
If they rescheduled the Oscars for late December each year,
the whole movie release arrangment would be radically
shifted. Think about it, won't you.
