ParaNorman

Happy Sunday Creepsters!

You know, Sundays are one of my favorite days of the week. There is Football (Go Pack Go!) and now, The Walking Dead, and of course another blog.

Today I am reviewing ParaNorman.

This movie is cute and has a surprisingly deep message all the while being creepy.

Norman is such a cool kid, wish I had a zombie alarm clock or a zombie toothbrush!

Released in 2012 this movie was directed by Chris Butler and stars John Goodman, Casey Affleck, and Kodi Smit-McPhee.

The premise of this movie is very simple: Norman will need to use his special gift of talking to ghosts in order to save the town from a 100 year old curse.

One of the great things about this movie is that they have an openly gay character in a kids movie! Of course you don't really know this until the end, and I won't tell you who, but how awesome is that?!

IMDB rates this a 6.9 out of 10 stars. Rotten Tomatoes gives it an 87% with a 73% audience approval rating. I am giving this a 4 out of 5 stars, great movie to watch with the family with a great message at the end. Not a lot of 'horror' movies can do that.

Until tomorrow,
Sleep tight and don't let the zombies bite!
