Last month I decided to start diving into my Doctor Who season sets chronologically (currently halfway through Season 7’s “The Ambassadors of Death”) at a rate of 1-2 stories per week: it’s a show that’s always been hard to put down because you always want to get past every cliffhanger.

No, CEDs were not “amazing,” Linus! They were awful! SelectaVision was a 17-year, $650 million goose egg that RCA never recovered from.

Last night we watched an old couple’s favorite, del Toro’s perfect gothic ghost story, Crimson Peak. This movie is creepy and romantic and tragic in all the right ways.

Continuing spooky season we saw Creepshow at the Alamo Drafthouse a couple of days ago, which perfectly emulates its horror comic book inspiration: C was not a fan of the "They're Creeping Up on You!" sequence.
