The movie should have just stayed in the parlor with Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee. Then showed Barbara Steele in the attic sometimes. Following Mark Eden around was a mistake.

Madeline Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli’s β€˜Honey Bunch’ Tries and Tries Again Madeline Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli’s β€˜Honey Bunch’ reminds us of the lengths we’ll go to in order to save and preserve our loved ones.

So it's Friday and there's 17 copies of POPCORN DISABILITIES left on Amazon. If you've read the book I would πŸ’— if you could leave it a review, either on Amazon or Goodreads! These help give more eyeballs on the book and hopefully get it to people who need it.

My most niche joke in a long, long time. Sammo Hung plays 3 roles and plays mahjong in The Gambling Ghost.

I stayed with you all, but stopped watching early. It's really good, but I am just too raw for the bleakness right now.

Workers clearing the slums of London’s Sidney Street & Clarendon Street c.1931 mark the last stages of their work by burning effigies of the vermin that had infested the old buildings. There’s something very powerful & ancient & Fortean about this & someone has surely spun a horror tale out of it.

And going with talkies was a conscious choice, too.

What I'm saying is that you never want me to do a ranked list.

This being the top ten horror movies today, at least, and not including the current century. Otherwise, I would freeze up.

If you need to read this, soak it in.

It's always been this way. We always had to make ourselves. Just some folks had a tougher run of it. Maybe still do. I can only hope they keep fighting for it.

TROLL 2 is the most TROLL 2 that TROLL 2 can be, and for TROLL 2, that's admirable.
