The four day weekend is now behind us. Ours was good. We both did and didn’t do very much, which is about the way I’d have had it if I could have it any way I wanted. Thanksgiving was nice. We had dinner with Jay’s folks, and it was good…

Since Monday morning my Internet has been down at home. Last night I went out and bought a new router since I was informed that it was almost certainly the old router that was at fault. When I got it home, it didn’t power up correctly. Awesome. So that’s still…

The first five minutes or so of The Crimson Cult (aka, Curse of the Crimson Altar) feature a justly famous image of a blue-painted Barbara Steele in a crazy headdress presiding over a weird S&M witch’s sabbath where a naked woman chained to an altar is whipped and then sacrificed.…

As promised, my second contribution to Ghost Appreciation Month is up at Beyond Fiction. This one is more of companion piece to my earlier contribution to Vampire Awareness Month, since this time I’m tackling Guillermo del Toro’s second Spanish-language film, The Devil’s Backbone.

After participating in Vampire Awareness Month back in July, I was overjoyed to hear that the folks over at Beyond Fiction were putting together a Ghost Appreciation Month as well, and I quickly threw my hat into that there ring. This time out I’ll be contributing my thoughts on two…
