Hello January 1st!

It is hard to believe that it is January 1st of 2012 because it totally doesn't feel like it at all. Last year had some good moments but the bad moments definitely out shined the good so I was glad to see 2011 go. I was going to make a post yesterday because I think every holiday needs horror movies but honestly I just didn't feel like paying more attention to 2011. We had went out Friday night with our friends so last night we stayed in and watched Good Times. I bought the Mister the DVD box set for Christmas, it was his favorite gift and turns out it is one of mine as well. It was nice, quiet and the way we like it just us and our fur babies. But I figured New Years still deserves a horror movie post...

New Years Evil (1980) : New Year's Eve is on it's way and TV's most famous punk-rock lady icon Diane Sullivan is holding a late hour countdown celebration of music and partying. All is going well until Diane recieves a phone call from a odd sounding stranger announcing on live Television that when New Year's strikes in each time zone, a 'Naughty Girl' will be murdered (punished), and the killer leaves a threat saying she will be the one to die last. The studio crew takes precautions and highten security, but on the other side of America, a hospital nurse is found brutally butchered. Who could be behind these murders? A crazed fan, a religious psychotic, or perhaps it's someone much closer to Diane then the police (or audience) could have ever expected.

Four years later, it's graduation time, and the members of the fraternity decide to have a costume party aboard a train trip to celebrate thier graduation.
