I never got my IMDB plugin to work as my web host has disabled fopen() on its servers. But Roberto’s web host hasn’t. He’s got a WP install over there so I just cut and pasted.

Since I couldn’t play around with my AMM or IMDB plugins tonight to get you that hand picked scary movie list, I thought I’d slap up a Halloween design. Sorry, kids, but since the image came from iStockPhoto.com, there’s no porting it to a theme. I know it’s prolly kinda hard on the eyes, but hey, nothing says Dark Master like black and red, eh?

But wolverines that you all are, feel free to leave comments about any aspect of the design that you like or don’t like or any misbehaviours. I was in a hurry and hopped up on Diet Dr Pepper when I threw this thing together!

I was all set to post a little list of scary movies to get you all in the proper mood for All Hallows Eve. But my AMM and IMDB plugins have flown south for the winter. And it’s not even cold yet. I posted the problem awhile back in the WP forum but it went unnoticed.

I guess perhaps the sacrificing of a lamb, or perhaps a wayward geek, on the alter of the One True Anti-Christ (that would be Bill Gates Himself) is in order? Quick Sabu, my saber, please!
