Is just around the corner, filled with dead and creepy skeltonized figures wherever you turn around, and its surtainly the season to be jolly if you like horror comedies like the one i review here, or the more smashier of the matter. This is all happening in the glorious 80's, when the music whamed you and still do, a lonely boy has to make a friendship or go to the house of insane... well he makes friends for sure, quite a neckrofilia love story it is, with a sharp script and a naive style of acting that may feel by far gotten by the most horristic part of the audience, but comedywise and as a decent look at the halloween traditions made in the u.s.a. It really follows the thick red line, with pinkish backgrounds and superstyled set decorations and and choice of locations is superbly done. My acclaim though goes to the makeup and specialeffects departments, the yokes made arent the most advanced nor costliest in the movie business but they work. The script is filled with dead earnest irony and picrasy, well hidden in the acts and words performed by a rather pictorial whacked out acting crew. Playing dead aint easy and they know the acts of stilleben, and doing the most hilarious acts to countermeassure your angsts and other frights in life... a well made film, perfect playtime, and wellmade and chosen score. The grumpy old man wouldve died from laughter if seen back in the eighties, but it still have that tremendous power to make me laugh (with my spouce) today too. A recommend...
