Yeah, I didn't catch that the auctions weren't for originals. Didn't see it in the top auction (which states it outright) and didn't look past the listings with the other two. Explains the prices and the number of auctions.

Hino pages have been popping up on ebay lately, I saw a complete story on there recently (!).

If you like older movies check out The Uninvited, understated ghost flick starring Ray Milland that's really good imo. And he stars in X-The Man With the X-Ray Eyes which is pretty nifty.

We never interacted. Some years later Sarah and I wrote a pitch bible for a project idea of Timm's and we talked on the phone once or twice. Can't really say what it's like to work with him, and I only met him once or twice.

Hi guys! After what happened, it's evident that my mom's surgery can't wait, so I'm asking for donations to help to gather the money for it

She almost lost consciousness last night and the insurance keeps refusing to help us

Every help counts 🙏💕
