Halloween


I’ve not looked at the TV listings for later tonight - but I'm sure that somewhere or other John Carpenter's famous film - Halloween, starring Jamie Lee Curtis - will be showing.


A good film - though not his best - I would have to give that to Starman and Jeff Bridges - which blends a road movie and a comedy - into a clever play on 'ET goes home'.

Time for a sequel I would say - to see what became of the Starman's earthly son.

But what the TV schedulers should be listing on Halloween is the Michael Jackson short film - Thriller - which caused a sensation in its day.

First broadcast in 1982 - John Landis - who made Amercian Werewolf in London - showcased the American superstar at his very best.

To my mind it would be a fitting tribute to Michael Jackson - and a counterpoint to his sad and untimely death.

Here's the You Tube link to a performer with the world at his feet - just a shame things didn't stay that way.
