Bride of Frankenstein is one of those sequels that tops the original, but Son of Frankenstein is right up there!

Daily Hanna Barbera

Howard Hanson (not the composer) was the production supervisor from Huckleberry Hound through the late 1960s, including every episode of the Flintstones.

My family watched Barney Miller together, as a family, every weekday night. What a great show

I ❤️ Werewolves

People dismiss Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster from lack of evidence, but werewolves only exist as werewolves briefly, and any evidence would taken as a wolf.

Vampires are always vampires, but werewolves can be you or I, working jobs, saying our prayers at night.

Please stop saying That Scene was a Masterclass

A masterclass is a *class* - a teaching session of a master to talented students.

The work product may be a masterpiece, but the work product itself is not a masterclass unless the creator is there discussing it to a qualified audience.

Speaking of The Fog's opening monologue, what is it about horror movies and monologues? Sometimes its the villain (Psycho), sometimes a soon-to-be victim (Blair Witch).

Got any favorite horror monologues?*

Remember how people remember musicals from a certain song or dance routine?

The Fog has two great components - John Houseman with an opening monologue of a campfire ghost story, and Adrienne Barbeau as a sultry voiced midnight DJ in a lonely lighthouse.

The Fog is about an entire town with a curse - yet the cast for this movie is tiny. There are only a few significant roles, and we only see 6 deaths (and that balances the scales so that should be all there are).

John Carpenter's The Fog (1980)

Two posters trying to sell two different things. The first is what the movie is - moody seacoast beset by dimly seen threats - the 2nd what Carpenter helped sow, the Slasher genre complete with 'final girl' image.

Just saw on IG that Drew Struzan has died. RIP to the man who painted my childhood.

This cover has reduced the stakes from Bond Villain in Berlin to Guy who does shoddy construction work in Pittsburgh

Yeah, its swinging for Monte Carlo international glamor, but yeah, a bit 'and I own a seen-better-days hotel in Hong Kong' colonialism.

Rope, knife, revolver, candlestick, lead pipe and wrench.

Rather boring. 3 are bludgeons. Poison would be a better one for say lead pipe or wrench

My feelings too - although they made a lovely board and went cheap after that. Those look like dollar store dice.

Someone else mentioned the Master Detective expanded version too - games must have gone on for quite awhile.

Poison is a pretty good addition - or replace the wrench with poison.

My buddy Ben brings up Mastermind - another iconic bit of box art, and also done about the same time as the 1972 Clue photo cover.

Like Atari game box art, its less describing the game but setting the vibe.

if you have about $350 to frivole away, there's a version of Clue with 3D rooms

The iconic box art from Clue from 1972

While cartoon suspects had been on the box art previously, here we get a photo of the gathering of suspects. This also galvanized the logo.

This is the version I had - and still have.
