Yes, it’s Monday again.  The good news is that there is a lot of Horror to think about all week long.  So much has happened this week in Horror History.  It’s really pretty remarkable. It was this week in 1985 that saw the opening of probably the very best entry into the Friday the 13th series. That same day we also get a beautifully bloody visit to the mall in Chopping Mall. While there are some wonderful things that have happened we also said goodbye to many legends.  The wonderfully creepy Peter Lorre and actor Ralph Bates bid us farewell.  Enjoy this week in horror history.  You might just learn something.
