october double feature, both rewatches i haven't seen in a long time. black cat was kind of a slog, but son was a worthy sucessor (if not an outright improvement) to the original frankenstein. 📽️

this was a 50 cent yard sale find back in the 90s. it was not treated gently and every time I pull it out I think it's going to sound like shit, but somehow it plays clean with only a few pops between tracks.

somehow missed seeing belly back in the 90s, despite being a fan and growing up 25 miles away from where they formed. phenomenal show! tanya's voice still sounds mint.
