A Halloween tradition that’s been popular for some time is the marathon of scary movies. I know at least one movie theater that’s doing it here, and it sounds like a good idea to me. For one thing, even if they screen only one movie a day/night they’ll never run out of things to put up – but then it’ll be a question of quality. The smaller, indie, slacker-chic theaters won’t care one bit, of course. This is akin to the record store run by elitist vinyl snobs seen in High Fidelity, John Cusack and co, if you know what I mean. I don’t think any of the first-run places does this Halloween 31 movies in 31 days type thing. But they could …maybe.

Anyway. I Sell The Dead is easy on the eyes if it were ever in a Halloween marathon. Minimal CGI, plot’s on the no surprises here side, the acting’s okay as it goes. Sort of hard to peg this flick as horror though, it finds itself more on the comedy side, more Weird than Scary. A couple of big name actors and the rest are no-listers but that’s not a bad thing. Pop some corn, butter it up and sit back for an hour. This one’s an enjoyable – if forgettable (non)scary movie.
