We're off to the witch
We may never, never, never, come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth the lifetime

We're all born upon the cross
We're the throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way is down

Re-watched Val Lewton's THE BODY SNATCHER (1945) and realized it's Boris Karloff having a dialog with his most famous work, FRANKENSTEIN (1931). I'm even more in awe of the film now. (Reading Mary Shelly's Frankenstein and seeing the del Toro movie really helped me with the revelation.)

I realize it's a pretty boring episode now, but these green people staring at Kirk through the view screens freaked me the f-- out when I was a kid.

He looks like Alec Guinness in Doctor Zhivago. He needs one of those hats for that Chicago winter tho. (Alec has the same hairstyle in that movie when he's not wearing the ushanka.)

I almost has as much fun making this trailer for the #Halloween episode of @oldmoviesystoners.bsky.social as I did recording it! And you'll have fun listening to it too. Now streaming on Apple and other pod apps.
