i don't practice santeria

tonight, heather and i watched one of the scariest movies from my childhood. i can't precisely remember, but i think i originally saw it in the theater, at twelve years old heather stumbled upon it as it started, and it took me about a minute to figure out what it was. she was already going to, but i demanded we watch it.

art, steve, you guys remember the believers? it's not great, but the movie holds up alright. i mean, it is a twenty year old movie about santeria. it definitely holds up better than the serpent and the rainbow.)


it was good to see martin sheen treat his son in the movie how i imagine he treated charlie and emilio.

one question: why do movies of this era seem to end with a jeep and a german shepherd?

i think of that movie often, particularly when the lady puts the makeup on her face and it swells up and the spiders come out. this comes to mind whenever:
a) someone encounters spiders for the first time here (they're big and flat)
b) someone gets bit by anything and it swells up

I just thought of that movie last week in fact, when I was pluging in Lisa's coffe maker (doesn't the wife die at the beginning from a coffe maker/electricity accident?).

steve, always with a good memory. the wife does die. marty sheen spills milk and then goes to take a shower. wifey is standing in said spill and turns on coffee maker. maker has defect, electrocutes her.

now that's something to cry over.
