My 31 Nights Of Halloween Celebration continues with:
"A Nightmare On Elm Street: The Inside Story" Excellent four hour documentary on the original "Elm Street" franchise. Extensive interviews with damn near every actor who had a speaking part (notable exceptions: Johnny Depp, Patricia Arquette,Laurence "Larry" Fishburne) as well as with all the directors, screen writers and producers who had a hand in shaping the series. If your a fan of franchise, see this documentary. Also watched "A Nightmare On Elm Street" (1984) The first and still the best. I didn't even bother with the remake. I saw no reason too.The original is a modern era classic.

Lo (2009)
 Love presents many challenges to couples…but none so daunting as the one Justin faces with his girlfriend April. Kidnapped by demons, April’s mystery begins to unfold when he finds an ancient book that she has left behind. Using the book, he contacts the demon Lo, ordering it to help him rescue his girl from the fiery pits. But Lo has other plans for his new master…dinner being one of them. An innovative Indie effort that may not be liked by everyone because of its obvious low-budget style and its awkwardness, but as it have some demons, a musical, a drama, and a twist all rolled into one...I think it's worth watching for anyone who likes to watch experimental genre films sometimes. It has its ups and downs, but overall it's a decent little story with nice dose of dark humor. >>: B

Nights of Cabiria (1957). This was simply a beautiful testament to the strength of the soul, beaten and bruised and left for dead, how the anguished still find purchase to lift themselves up and continue on, a sip more weary, but still clinging to the hope that their dreams of contented happiness might still be fulfilled. Out titular character is perfectly captured by the wonderful Giulietta Masina, a doe-eyed beauty that captured the viewer's heart so completely that we truly wish to know of her fate after the credits have rolled. The story meanders in a splendid fashion, with scene after inspiring scene, each of which serves to portray the feminine strength of Cabiria as she picks herself up time and again, no more bitter than before. Fellini's direction was of course magnificent, but that is merely stating the obvious. A wonderful account of the majesty born of hardship, Nights of Cabiria should serve as a monument of hope for the downtrodden masses. Merci beaucoup.

Piranha - the remake, watched it on DVD so it was not in 3D.
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. It was fast paced, and had lots of gore effects. These were quite unrealistic - for example, people having their legs and pelvis stripped to the bone, but still being alive for a significant amount of time. Also, some of the CGI was pretty unrealistic. But at the end of the day, it was a teen movie with lots of blood. I really think that is all it strived to be, and in that it succeeded.
