"Night of the Hunter" is on TCM tonight.


Evil Robert Mitchum, haunting childrens' singing, gorgeous photography, "mais en scene" up the wahoo... Sublime programming from Ted Turner.

20 lets say, "misleading" foreign movie posters of classic American films.


These posters are so many things, but mostly they're delightfully ignorant. From Cracked.com.

You can go straight to hell, Mr. Misdialer, and take your clumsy sausage fingers with you!

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.



Okay, this might be enough to get me to pick up a book again. Via Coudal.

Speaking of Wonka and depression, Valentines day is coming up.



Chocolate skulls, for the little dahmer in your family. I know, I show "poor taste." Sorry.

Damn you, Willy Wonka.

Having one of those days, trying to pinpoint exactly where I went wrong... Ah! Child-like trust. See, this is what I expected. So stoopid!

Outfitting the bunker #7


The Villain Chair. Sweet, from Suck UK.

Killing the undead...horrific, comedy bliss.

I was watching "The Monkey's Paw," segment of the 1972 movie, Tales from The Crypt, and it brought to mind this scene from the movie, Return of the Living Dead. It still brings me to tears, largely due to the terror convincingly expressed by James Karen.
Here's the trailer for Tales From the Crypt.

Dalida sings "Bambino"

Thanks, MD.

Clearly, no toys were wasted on this kid.

Science solves "Italian Job" cliffhanger.


An admirable use of mind science.

A prestigious area code does nothing for you if you live on a street with a name such as:


Hey EL, remember when we used to laugh at the thought of the poor sap who had to admit to living on Dump Lane?

Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust.

Need I say more?

Charlie Band's travelling roadshow of Horrors!

I was there, where were you guys?
