Halloween movies, pt 3

Little sweetheart, this was our absolutely favorite of the season. 

Even today, few people know about it. It's an incredibly unique and intriguing 2008 movie - billed as a "romantic horror film" - directed by Tomas Alfredson and adapted by John Ajvide Lindqvist from his own novel. 

The film is set in Sweden, a suburb outside of Stockholm, in the 1970's. The main characters are a boy and girl, both 12. I don't want to spoil the plot for anyone but despite being a "vampire movie" I think - and I think we both do, little sweetheart - that it is a love story. 

The two kids find and save one another, in many, quite literally, existentially. 

So, of course, it resonates with me forever, because I remember our earliest moments and how very much I believe that you changed and saved my life. I know that you did. And I am forever grateful.

With all my love...
