Day 30, there’s no way of knowing which direction we are going

For 37 years Gene Wilder has terrified children and adults alike in his portrayal of Willy Wonka. Wonka, an eccentric candy maker decides to open the doors of his ultra secretive factory for one day, and only allow children to visit him. Wonka is without a doubt in my mind the inheritor of all the morality lessons, destruction, and violence that the Brothers Grimm ever wished to impart to children.

This movie is as much musical as it is nightmarish visual masterpiece. Every cast member sings and dances, some with more style and skill then others. No matter how much Wilder and Fred Astaire have in common, his skill is over shadowed by the antics of the Oompa Loompas. Singing and dancing midgets with bright orange skin and hair that only the Joker would approve of. Some call this movie horror, some call it a classic, some obsess about its comparison to the novel by Roald Dahl, and some prefer Johnny Depp.



Tune in tomorrow, when 31 days of horror concludes. What will be the movie selected for Halloween? Will it be one of your favorites? Will it scare you? Will you even bother to tune in? Or will Oprah Winfrey ban the whole thing as “indecent and immoral? Tune in tomorrow to find out!
