Pretzel party

Oktoberfest starts on Walnut Street

ou don’t have to wear a dirndl or lederhosen to enjoy Oktoberfest in Denton.

All is takes is a jaunt to downtown Denton for a German-style party on Walnut Street.

Oktoberfest on Walnut starts at 5 p.m. Friday in the 100 block just south of the Square.

An opening ceremony is at 6

p.m., followed by the tapping of the firkin (that’s a squat little keg).

The free event includes a beer tent, a nagel schlagen (nail hammering) contest, a stein hoisting competition, and costume contests for kids and adults. Pair your beer with brats, pretzels, apple strudel and food truck fare.

And all Walnut Street parties come with tunes. Instead of typical German or Bavarian folk music, Denton’s jump-blues outfit High School Caesar will headline.

Local restaurants and merchants will have treats to enjoy: Sweetwater Grill & Tavern, Beth Marie’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream, Lone Star Attitude Bur-

ger Co., The Loophole, Dusty’s, Hailey’s, Mulberry Street Cantina, Hannah’s Off the Square, Chestnut Tree, More Fun Comics, Atomic Candy and the Abbey Inn. For drinking-age adults, beer tickets and wristbands will be available at the ticket tent, adjacent to the beer tent.

hat. A. Hunk. University of North Texas football coach Dan McCarney was spotted on his routine shirtless circuit around Apogee Stadium on Sept.

23 during a major political event on campus. Don’t worry, ladies, McCarney can be spotted regularly on campus working out — or walking his dog around town — sans shirt.

(DRC sports writer Brett Vito wants Dammit readers to know he played no part in this item.)

■ This Tuesday is News Engagement Day. Cross off “talk with a reporter” from that bucket list and call us. We’ll be manning our phones just like we do every other workday.

You’ll find that we don’t have agendas but we are barely house-trained. We’re a sure bet for smart dinner parties, where awkward questions abound. (Maybe we can talk about what the marketing wizards mean by “engagement.”)

■ During a recent story about a voter registration drive on the UNT campus, DRC interns interviewed a “decision science” student. Was this kid pranking us, or do academic types just excel at taking simple ideas and jamming them together for gleeful obfuscation?

■ Dix Coney Island, soon to open on the Square at the corner of Elm and Oak streets, lays claim to being “Denton’s First Coney Island.” Well, it’s not. Look through Alec Williams’ Flickr account at his amazing old photos of Denton, and you’ll find there was a place called Jim’s Coney Island on Fry Street between Oak and Hickory back in the ’70s.

Here’s a photo of it: http://bit.ly/1L4EB14.

8:30 a.m. — UNT Career Center 5K Run/Walk for the Arts, bene-

fiting the Greater Denton Arts Council, at the UNT Pohl Recreation Center, 1900 Chestnut Drive. General registration is $25; $5 for UNT students.

9 a.m. to 4 p.m. — Anti-Racism Day hosted by the North Texas Conference United Methodist Women at First United Methodist Church of Denton, 201 S. Locust St. Janis Rosheuvel, executive secretary for racial

work with the Cocteau Twins and as the honcho in charge of Bella Union records, home of Midlake, elucidated for Oaktopia’s headier discussion-minded crowd how a U.K. label came to stack its roster with a number of Denton bands. The catalyst some 15 years ago was Denton’s Lift to Experience, which a California band, the Autumns, had been raving about. Raymonde caught Lift’s set during South

by Southwest “in a taco shack” (the Brits apparently pronounce it “tack-oh”), “in the middle of the afternoon in a most apocalyptic thunderstorm,” and offered the band a deal on the spot.

Raymonde likened Denton to the seaside town of Brighton, England, where he lives: “The whole city is just made up of kids doing music.” But when asked whether he’d start a label now, he said: “I’d start a restaurant around the corner.

It seems to be what everyone else is doing.”

A few words from Raymonde on being in a band: “This is not a walk in the park. It’s like a slog up a [expletive] mountain that’s probably unscalable.”

■ Has anyone seen the Frenchy’s Lawn & Tree Service truck painted mostly in white? A staffer spotted it once, but could it be Frenchy’s white whale in a sea of orange?

■ Denton artist John Bramblitt, who paints in spite of his blindness, has done a portrait of Jason Lee. The actor’s beard came as a surprise to the artist, who feels his subjects to paint them. “It was a little funny because the last time I actually saw him with my eyes was of course years ago, when he was in the Kevin Smith movies. … In my mind everyone still looks like they did back in 2001,” Bramblitt said on Facebook. Bramblitt is fresh off doing a TEDx talk at Southwestern Adventist University in Keene.

■ In last week’s column, we made two very regrettable errors. We incorrectly reported that Heather Gregory was leaving her post as the director of SCRAP Denton to take a job with the city. Gregory has accepted a position at a Denton advertising agency and will remain involved with the nonprofit as a member of the advisory board. We also mistakenly identified local comedian Tony Snow, who regularly hosts Gitmo Music events, as a co-founder of Denton’s Real Rad Records. Snow is not and has never been affiliated with Real Rad.

Studio reopens in time for First Friday

F

irst Friday Denton is back this week with a familiar place: A Creative Art Studio is finally reopening after a fire upstairs forced the business to shut its doors in mid-March.

The studio, at 227 W. Oak St., Suite 101, just west of the Square, will kick things off with live music by Oui Bis at 7 p.m. As usual, A Creative Art Studio will have a community art project that everyone can participate in, and guests can also paint a canvas for $5. Artist Crystal Nelson will demonstrate printmaking techniques.

The studio has started to resume its slate of art classes, and its grand reopening and sixth birthday celebration are slated for Nov. 6-7.

Other downtown art spaces will keep their doors open Friday evening for the monthly arts mixer.

Just down from A Creative Art Studio, Vintage Bleu will have a grand reopening party at 221 W. Oak St. The store, now under new ownership, was previously known as Shop the Barn.

The DIME Store at 510 S. Locust St. will have a Dentonthemed screenprinted poster from Jude Landry Print Co., as well as a coloring contest for kids

and adults.

Denton County Friends of the Family will bring the Clothesline Project to the lawn of the Courthouse on the Square. The project displays shirts that bear messages and illustrations by survivors of domestic abuse and by those who have lost a loved one to domestic violence.

At the Patterson-Appleton Arts Center at 400 E. Hickory St., “Day of the Dead: Una Exhibición” opens in the Gough Gallery with a reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The Greater Denton Arts Council exhibit displays ofrendas — altars honoring the departed — made by students, business groups and others in the community. Meanwhile, “Light, Space and Beauty,” a solo exhibit of Cathy Breslaw’s multimedia works, also opens in the center’s Meadows Gallery.

Admission for this exhibit is $5, or free for members of the arts council.

First Friday Denton takes place at galleries and businesses on and around the Square on the first Friday evening of each month. Most spaces stay open late, though hours vary. For more participating locations, visit http://firstfridaydenton.com.

Scary? Depen Do you prefer gore with your horror, or is grim and dreary more your taste?

By Rhiannon Saegert | Staff Writer

I

rsaegert@dentonrc.com

t’s easy to assume that the best way to judge a horror film is to determine how scary it is, but that’s easier said than done.

While it’s possible to nail down core attributes and figure out what doesn’t work or is easy to brush off, everyone experiences fear differently, and everyone is scared by different things.

A bleak outlook, a ghost that might only exist in the main character’s mind and an ambiguous ending could mean nothing to somebody who’s looking for a tense standoff, a shower of blood and a Final Girl worth fighting for.

With Halloween approaching and no shortage of things to fear, here’s a list of 10 horror movies to consider checking out, with their attributes laid out on a scale of 1 to 5.

Freddy vs. Jason

2003. Rated R, 98 minutes.

The world at large can agree that there are far too many mediocre parodies of horror movies out there.

Fortunately, this long-awaited crossover stays entertaining, but never tries to be a parody, despite its selfaware “every nerd argument, ever” premise.

It’s a straight-up slasher, operating on its own slasher film logic, following a gaggle of doomed teens who’ve found themselves caught in the crossfire between two undead murderers who each pose their own unique threat.

Die-hard fans of the two series and newcomers looking for something fun and bloody can both enjoy this one. Just don’t ask any of those die-hards who actually won the titular fight.

Gore: 4 Humor: 4 Fear: 4 Bleakness: 1, thanks to Hypnocil’s dangerous side-effects.

Fright Night

1985. Rated R, 108 minutes

Let’s face it. If vampires are real, there isn’t enough fiction about them on the planet to equip us to deal with them. That’s the basic premise behind See HORROR on 10

Essie Davis stars as a mother who may or may not be “The Babadook,” an Australian indie horror flick.

From Page 8

Horror the original Fright Night, a cheesy movie about a teenage horror fan, Charley Brewster, whose new next-door neighbor is a vampire hiding in plain sight.

Brewster, his girlfriend and a friend he hates try to deal with the situation by taking all their cues from schlocky vampire films, and it goes about as well as one might expect.

With a story like that, this movie is practically Goosebumps for adults, in the best way possible. There’s a skeevy subplot about Charley trying to pressure his girlfriend into having sex with him, but it’s not the focus of the movie.

Throw this one on at a Halloween party and take a drink every time a character behaves like a bloodsucker — humans included.

Gore: 3 Humor: 5 Fear: 3 Bleakness: 0

The Babadook

2014. Unrated, 95 minutes.

Less funny is The Babadook, an independently made Australian horror film about grief and mental illness that’s as frightening as it is painful and uncomfortably true to life.

This is dark and bleak, and it’s not one to watch on a bad day or alone. The creepy, Nosferatu-ish charcoal sketch tormenting the protagonist and her son is easy to project personal fears onto, and no, its nature is never fully explained. Its horror comes from something everyone can relate to: the things we can’t control or run from, and the things that never go away.

The film’s low budget shows at times, but that’s not necessarily a drawback — just something to be ready for and accept.

Like other films on this list, reality is uncertain at best for much of the run time.

It’s not clear exactly what the Babadook is, and the audience is free to draw conclusions, but in the end it doesn’t matter.

Oculus

2013. Rated R, 105 minutes

Oculus is an unnerving psychological and paranormal thriller that’s as sleek and cold as its main character: an antique full-length mirror so obviously evil that one wonders how no one’s destroyed it yet. That question is answered, but then again maybe it wasn’t.

The film follows Kaylie (Karen Gillan) and her younger brother, Tim (Brenton

Thwaites), as she attempts to prove to the world that the mirror is alive and evil and he presents pesky logical explanations.

He makes a strong case, and it becomes unclear if there’s even anything paranormal going on, or if our protagonists are just deluded, trapped by a traumatic event from childhood strong enough to warp their views.

Reality is impossible to hang onto as memories, hallucinations and illusions meld with the present for a disorienting experience that warrants rewatching — possibly with some yarn and a corkboard so you can keep it all straight.

Gore: 3 Humor: 1 Fear: 5 Bleakness: 5 or more. There is no good way to interpret that ending.

The Haunting

1963. Rated G, 112 minutes.

Who isn’t a little haunted by something or another? The Haunting is a heavily psychological story about Eleanor (Julie Harris), a woman who’s volunteering to stay in a supposedly haunted house for a paranormal investigation.

The house was chosen for its history, which is full of tragedy and intrigue that would warrant a few ghosts, and Eleanor, who’s lonely and emotionally vulnerable after her mother’s death, finds herself sucked in. However, it’s unclear if the haunting is legitimate or not.

Oculus seems to owe a lot to this movie, with its uses of reflective imagery and unsteady grip on reality, and once again,

it’s up to the viewers to decide for themselves. There may be no ghosts in the house besides the ones our heroine carried in with her, but they’re no less dangerous for it.

Gore: 0 Humor: 2 Fear: 3.5 Bleakness: 4

Carrie

1976. Rated R, 98 minutes.

Stephen King film adaptations have a long and rocky history, and one this good is rare. A lonely high school girl, abused and stifled by her controlling, religious mother and tormented by her cruel classmates, discovers she has extremely powerful psychokinetic abilities. What could possibly go wrong?

Though the story is familiar to just about everyone now, the slow build to its bloody conclusion is still nerve-racking as it is heartbreaking, and Sissy Spacek’s performance — piercing eyes, messy hair and stilted, frozen posture — reads almost like a portent of Japanese horror films’ present-day popularity. This film still holds up, and we didn’t need 2013’s lazy remake to tell us that.

Gore: A whole bucketful.

Humor: 1, and it’s all in one shopping montage.

stand what all the fuss was about.

Regardless, the film’s best and hardest-to-imitate attribute is its understanding of suspense. Everyone knows what’s going to happen, but it’s a matter of when and how, leaving one to wonder when the film’s quiet moments will be shattered.

What keeps Michael Myers so dedicated to his bloody mission? Ignore the sequels. It’s scarier not knowing.

The Ring

2002. Rated PG-13, 145 minutes.

The Grudge

2004. Rated PG-13, 96 minutes.

These films — the American remakes starring Naomi Watts (The Ring) and Sarah Michelle Gellar (The Grudge), based on the Japanese originals — share a spot on this list because of their similarities. Both play on anxieties about female power, cycles of violence and an inability to protect loved ones, and both draw pessimistic conclusions about a person’s ability to escape negativity.

Neither movie is scary in the traditional sense, but they both have a lingering effect that makes the most innocent things — an unexpected phone call, air conditioning turning on, being alone in a stairwell or hearing someone walk on the floor upstairs — into tense experiences days after you’ve seen them. They won’t make anyone jump out of their seat, barring a couple of jump scares, but like their subject matter, the initial viewing is just the beginning of the experience.

The Beyond

1981. Unrated, 87 minutes.

This Italian horror film starts off as a ghost story and evolves into something much stranger by the end of its run time.

Some of this was due to film executives meddling with the script during production, but all the bizarre moments do hang together, if only by a thin thread.

By the end, the sudden transformation into a zombie movie after over an hour of ghosts and hints of demonic activity isn’t even the weirdest part. That honor goes to the clearly fake tarantulas that chew through some poor soul’s face, even though neither tarantulas nor faces work that way.

Compared with something like Suspiria, this movie is downright coherent, and it’s nicely paced, gory and interesting, even if most of it makes no sense. In

that respect, it’s a good introduction into Italian horror.

Gore: 5 Humor: 3 — there’s plenty in the English dub.

Fear: 3 Bleakness: 4

Poltergeist

1982. Rated PG, 114 minutes.

What sets Poltergeist apart from a lot of haunted house films is its heart. The family members at its center aren’t perfect, but they’re relatable and likable enough for people to empathize with when something unfamiliar and horrifying possesses their home, turning the mundane suddenly malicious.

This movie has just enough of everything: enough scares, enough suspense, and a restrained approach to gore that

makes it all the more effective when it finally shows up. Show this movie to friends too nervous to watch something with a high body count, or friends who have no interest in bleak and depressing, but still want a good scare. If they’re still apprehensive, reel them in with the knowledge that the dog lives.

The bleakest thing that could possibly befall this film would be a soulless remake with found-footage elements that no asked for. Imagine how terrible that would be.

Lonely astronaut

Damon charms as stranded Earthling in plausible sci-fi pic

By Sandy Cohen

The Martian

AP Entertainment Writer

Without Matt Damon, the solitary fight for survival on Mars would be lonely indeed.

Alone on screen for most of his scenes as an astronaut stranded on the red planet, the Oscarnominated actor is the winning heart of Ridley Scott’s epic space adventure, The Martian.

With Damon’s charm center stage, Scott has crafted an exciting, hopeful story about humanity at its best: the brightest minds working together for a common goal that bridges international borders and forges a feeling of unity.

Affable and intelligent, playful and determined, Damon’s Mark Watney is so endearing and entertaining as a narrator and subject, it’s easy to see why the world would want to save him.

The story begins with Watney accidentally left behind during a NASA mission to Mars.

When a fierce storm forces an emergency evacuation from the planet, he disappears in the chaos and is presumed dead. He isn’t, of course, and as his fellow astronauts mourn him during their months-long journey back to Earth and NASA officials struggle with how to explain his death to the public, Watney wakes up, injured and alone.

20th Century Fox

A stranded astronaut (Matt Damon) has to figure out how to survive in “The Martian.”

But he’s incredibly optimistic and resilient. He fixes his wound with minor surgery and immediately goes about prolonging his survival, knowing it could be years before a manned spacecraft returns to Mars. He puts his skills as a botanist and engineer to work, devising a way to grow crops in the arid soil and make water by burning hydrogen. He rewires old equipment

from a past Mars mission in hopes of communicating with NASA. Watney is curious and talkative, keeping himself company by narrating his every move. He tracks his obstacles and progress in daily video logs. He chats to himself in footage from the helmet cam in his spacesuit, cracking jokes he knows no one can hear.

Seeing his efforts through various camera perspectives — the helmet cam, a bunk cam inside his sleeping quarters, a dashboard camera inside his space rover and the video diaries where he appears to talk directly to the audience — adds visual interest, though Damon would probably be just as magnetic talking to a hand-held camera in an empty room.

Meanwhile, NASA director Teddy Sanders (Jeff Daniels at his most clinical) and Mars mission chief Vincent Kapoor (Chiwetel Ejiofor) learn through satellite photos that Watney is alive.

As NASA spokeswoman Annie Montrose (a miscast Kristin Wiig) scrambles to protect the agency’s public image, the men strategize how to bring the stranded astronaut home.

Unlike other recent bigscreen space trips, the science here is presented simply enough that no suspension of disbelief or quantum leap through the time-space continuum is necessary. It all seems plausible, and author Andy Weir, upon whose novel the film is based, insists it is, calling it “a technical book for technical people.”

“I had no idea mainstream readers would be interested at all,” he said.

With Scott at the helm and Damon leading the cast, The Martian is accessible and beautiful, cinematically and intellectually.
