Also, she's too skinny

This may come as a shock to a lot of you, but my Dad does not have a blog. It's possible that he'd want to start one after I explained to him what a blog is, but as it stands, he is a blogless man. This may sound sad, but really, he has no idea what he's missing, and I think it's best that it stays that way.

Still, he's a man with things on his mind. And if I were to explain to him what a blog is and if he chose to take this newfound information and start a blog, and if this had already happened and he was looking for something to blog about today, I can confidently say that I know exactly what subject he'd choose to expound upon after spending the evening watching Bram Stoker's Dracula as part of his bizarre ambition to watch the 400 greatest horror movies ever, and that subject would be the following:

Winona Ryder has ugly ears.
Thank you, and goodnight.

He has great wisdom, your father. Both she and Keanu came very very close to ruining that book (one of my top 10 favorite novels of all time) for me. Their horrific voices echo in the dialogue, damn their eyes. (and ears)

You should have your dad guest blog for you on one of these days while your at home. And your mom too. That would rule. By the way, is he really working from a list regarding the horror quest and if so, which one?

Blogs make great Christmas gifts, I hear. You should set one up for him. And maintain it. Make sure it doesn't crash. Pretty much just let him email his posts in every day, while you do all the hard work.

Have there even been 400 horror movies made, let alone a higher number of which 400 would be the cream of the crop?

BTW, is it just me, or is your previous post missing?

It turns out I was mistaken. The list he's working off of is the list of nominees for America's Most Heart-Pounding movies from the AFI. A lot of them are what you'd consider horror movies, but a lot of them are just exciting, I guess.

For the record, some of my dad's reviews:

Freaks: "Sick"
Night Of the Living Dead: "Ridiculous"
The Blair Witch Project: "Brilliantly done"

And he considers the scariest movie ever to be the original version of Cape Fear. He didn't think much of the remake.
