Unconventional Halloween Movies
It's no secret that I am not a fan of horror or violent films. I don't mind creepy or sinister, but seeing people mutilate and harm other people isn't my cup of tea. But I freakin' LOVE Halloween.

War and anti-war riots, violent sexual diseases and rampant drug use, Helter Skelter, the JFK assassination, etc. That's A LOT to take in a 10 … Continue reading The Roaring Swinging Fabulous Groovy Blog Collaboration | The 1960s
