R.I.P. Udo Kier, who was a working actor from the 1960s until the present day. I knew him from movies like FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN and his work with Lars Von Trier, but I've seen him the most as Dr. Frank Mandel in an uncredited appearance in Dario Argento's SUSPIRIA. A true legend.

Tonight I watched Jacques Tourneur's NIGHT OF THE DEMON (1957), based on M.R. James's classic story "Casting the Runes." I hadn't seen it in years. Previously, I'd only seen the shorter CURSE OF THE DEMON cut. (1/2)

Last night's performance of ENDGAME at Irish Arts Center was fantastic! I'd never seen or read the play before, so I only knew it by reputation, and I was blown away not just by Beckett's words but also by the actors and the production as a whole!

We absolutely loved DEATHSTALKER (2025), an homage/spoof of all those 1980s sword-and-sorcery movies that came out in the wake of CONAN THE BARBARIAN. (1/2)

Today's Morbid Anatomy Krampus Market at Industry City was a lot of fun! There were lots of sellers hawking dark and spooky art, jewelry, and vintage knickknacks. You can see our haul in the photos. (Alexa also bought a small skull ring, not pictured.)

Looking forward to seeing PLAYING SHYLOCK with Saul Rubinek tonight at Brooklyn's Polonsky Shakespeare Center! As a Jewish person, my thoughts on one of the Bard's most famous characters are complicated, and I'm happy there's a whole show about it!

Alexa and I enjoyed HAUNTED HOTEL, an animated series about a single mom who inherits a hotel full of demons and ghosts, all of which are color characters, although Abaddon, a demon tapped in the body of a 9-year-old boy from Colonial times, is the standout. (1/2)

We took a walk in Kew Garden's Maple Grove Cemetery yesterday. I was struck by the turtles at the pond all gathering at the foot of the goose statue. I also photographed two monuments, one an angel on top of a rock, and the other for the grave of a dead child, which I found both creepy and sad.

Tonight's movie was APRIL FOOL'S DAY! "Muffy hasn't been in an institution for three years, she's been at Vassar!"

Tonight's movie was SLEEPAWAY CAMP, which features this all-timer of a putdown: "She's a real carpenter's dream, flat as a board and in need of a good screw!" (Spoken by Judy, the best character, who eats the scenery in every scene!)

R.I.P. Diane Ladd, who, despite a long and distinguished career, I always associate with David Lynch's WILD AT HEART for some reason.

Noodle definitely didn't want to be at the vet's today for her annual checkup. I couldn't help laughing when she tried to escape by jumping into the exam room's mini fridge! Of course we had to take a picture!
