A snowy Saturday!

I was going to do a Friday the 13th post yesterday but to be honest it was a super busy day and kind of a sad one as well. After getting up I had to get ready right away and after that I was out the door doing a whole lot of running around. Once I got home, I did some cleaning, cooked dinner and than a few of our friends dropped by to watch Friday the 13th movies. Plus yesterday was my dads birthday and the idea of him being gone just bums me out. All I wanted to do was call him, hear his voice and wish him a Happy Birthday. In April it will be a year that he has been gone and it still feels just as empty and awful like it was yesterday. This time of the year just makes me think of last year and how bad it was for our family when things started going bad. But besides the sad part it was a pretty good day, but I am not allow to talk about the good parts yet, I promised the Mister. Enough of my emotional journey on the first Friday the 13th of the year and on to a Saturday Graverite snow double feature!

The Thing (1982) : An American scientific expedition to the frozen wastes of the Antarctic is interrupted by a group of seemingly mad Norwegians pursuing and shooting a dog. The helicopter pursuing the dog crashes leaving no explanation for the chase. During the night, the dog mutates and attacks other dogs in the cage and members of the team that investigate. The team soon realises that an alien life-form with the ability to take over other bodies is on the loose and they don't know who may already have been taken over.

Dreamcatcher (2003) : Jonesy, Pete, Beaver and Henry are all childhood friends, kept together by a special secret they share. Once every year, they go on a hunting trip to the Jefferson Tract. This year is different. They shelter a man who has been lost for days in the woods in the middle of a still-continuing blizzard. The man has odd marks on his face. As they discover the awful truth of what he is infected with, the military attempts to quarantine an alien virus as a result of an alien crash landing. The four friends must survive the alien infection and overpower a crazed military admiral who prepares to wipe out the whole Jefferson Tract in order to contain the alien infection.
