Old people love to watch cable television on non-HD channels and then complain about how they can’t see. *bangs head against wall*

Check out these beautiful mushrooms that just sprouted up in my yard.

Rest in peace, Udo Kier. 1944-2025. One of my favorite gay actors of yesteryear.

Do you all know how hard it is to find size 17 shoes that are extra wide? I do.

November, 1879, John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-1893).

David Cronenberg’s Shivers (1975) might be the greatest concept most poorly executed in a horror film I’ve seen. There was so much potential. Great idea overall but bad directing, bad acting, and bad plot made this excruciating to get through. Nice to see Barbara Steele though.

2015 to 2025. A lot can change in 10 years. I accomplished this through diet and exercise alone. #weightloss #beforeandafter #thinthings

Besides election coverage tonight, I’m going to watch the 4K of The Lost Boys and Dario Argento’s The Bird With The Crystal Plumage.

Watching It: Welcome to Derry reminds me so much of this Halloween photo from 1958 courtesy of Shorpy. “Kodachrome taken by a school teacher of her class in Michigan 1958. Collection of Joe Geronimo.” www.shorpy.com/node/13881

I’m thoroughly disappointed in my friends. For the past month I’ve tried to have a small party where we eat snacks and watch John Carpenter’s The Fog in 4K. People cancelled, could never make it, or just left me hanging. Here it is almost Halloween and I guess I’ll be watching it by myself.

I still can’t get over the colors in Messiah of Evil. I really need a 4K disc.

Tonight’s film is Messiah of Evil (1974 but filmed in 1971). Such an interesting film visually and conceptually. Starring Marianna Hill, Michael Greer, Anitra Ford, Royal Dano, and Elisha Cook Jr. It’s a shame the original 35 mm negative was lost.

Who else is watching IT: Welcome to Derry? I do love a good Stephen King universe story.

Tonight’s film is Black Sabbath (1963) from Mario Baba starring Boris Karloff, Mark Damon, Michèle Mercier, Susy Andersen, Lydia Alfonsi, Glauco Onorato, and Jacqueline Pierreux. A masterpiece.

You haven’t truly heard music until you listen to it through some good Sennheiser headphones. I also need to get my HD 600s working again.

If you want a “so bad it’s good” Halloween movie, I highly suggest Mark of the Witch (1970) on Tubi. My god it’s a masterpiece in delicious camp tragedy.

6’8” and size 17 but can squeeze into most size 16 shoes.

Tonight’s film is The Ugly Stepsister (2025). If you haven’t seen it, see it now as it’s a masterpiece. The use of late 1970s/early 1980s European style filters as well as new wave music for certain scenes is genius.

Tonight’s film is Happy Birthday To Me (1981) with Melissa Sue Anderson, Glenn Ford, Lawrence Dane, Sharon Acker, Frances Hyland,Tracey E. Bregman, and Lisa Langlois. A fun little Canadian slasher.

Tonight’s film is Sleepwalkers (1992) with Brian Krause, Alice Krige, Mädchen Amick, Lyman Ward, Cindy Pickett, Ron Perlman, and the Glenn Shadix. A Stephen King guilty pleasure.

Fun fact: Lyman Ward and Cindy Pickett also played the married couple in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
