October is my favorite month of the year. Stores stock up on candy and fake blood as horror geeks like myself prepare for a month of haunted houses and horror films.
I began my Halloween extravaganza by attending Universal Studios Hollywood's sixth annual Eyegore Horror Awards, where they honored such icons as director Tobe Hooper ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre," "Poltergeist"), actor Bill Moseley ("House of a 1000 Corpses," "Devil's Rejects") and actress Julie Benz ("Saw V"). Also in attendance were "Lost Boys" Corey Haim and Corey Feldman (the latter of whom served as the night's emcee) and the original Leatherface, Gunnar Hansen.
