Putting this here so I can actually keep track of things. So far, looks like my month will be going like this when it comes to Halloween festivities:

October 24th, at 2 PM, I’ll be going to see a double-bill of Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein. Until an hour ago, I had thought it was only showing at 7 PM. This earlier time works better for me.

October 25th, at 7 PM, I’ll be seeing Rifftrax Live: Birdemic. (And hoping no severe weather hits this time.)

October 27th, I’ll be watching the Fourth Annual Paducah Zombie Walk. I’ve heard the times they start as both 5:30 PM, as well as 5:45 PM. Going by previous years, they may not actually begin their shuffling until 6 PM. So I’ll show up around 5:15 PM, and just wait.

They’ll be showing The Cabin In the Woods and Night of the Creeps at Maiden Alley Cinema on the 26th. I’ve already seen (thanks to Comcast On Demand) both, so I can skip that. (Especially since that would involve being downtown, at night, in a theater located at the end of an alley.)
