31 Days of Halloween, Day 7- The Peanut Butter Solution (1985)

Directed By: Michael Rubbo

MVP’s: Mathew Mackay, Siluck Saysanasay, Alison Darcy, Michael Maillot, Michael Hogan, Helen Hughes, Griffith Brewer, Terrence Labrosse

Plot: A kid sees some real heinous and traumatizing shit in a derelict building. The horror makes the hair on his head fall out and despite all the grown-up prognostications to the contrary it doesn’t grow-back. Not, that is, until some scary hobo ghosts give him a peanut-butter hair-growth recipe in his dreams. Now the hair won’t stop growing! Also, his art teacher is evil and kidnaps a bunch of kids to start a magic-paintbrush sweat-shop.

Response: We draw a scary wolf dog or a scary wolf dog draws us. My attic of precise bird people. A black hole in a burned-out wino hollow where the disease of terror awaits. Emotionally v true. And what will you do with this one precious life? Smear the ghost recipe for hair growth on burgeoning pubes. Your art teacher wears a coat of kid’s hair, bro. The power of voice. One part dead flies, one part rotten eggs, three part Skippy pb. Original songs by Celine Dione. And in the end, our mother returns

Halloween Score:

Autumn Vibes: 2/5

Scares & Chills: 3/5

Hint for Tomorrow’s Movie:

Our second and final Part 3 picture of this season.

No pumpkin spice latte winners yet but I so appreciate you for playing Dudley! A Star is Born fit the criteria for today. Is that an autumnal film, I can’t recall? Also, The Birds was a great day 6 guess and Scary Movie a great day 7 (though I should have asked if you meant 2000 or 2026).

Who else wants to play today? Brandon? Ethan? Sally? Ellen?
