Back on the grid. Used my new sturdy and inexpensive phone to take the picture (I'm now paying insurance every month.... like a sucker). Hopefully this will be a lesson to the new phone about our relationship.

Just finished watching a dvd of three episodes of The Twilight Zone. Treasures of The Twilight Zone contained three episodes, the pilot episode of the show "Where is Everybody?", "The Encounter which was banned, and the French short which won the Academy Award for Best Short Film, "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge". All were great.
The pilot occurred a decade before our Moon Shot and during the scariest days of The Cold War's Space Race (which I wrote a paper on during college). Interesting stuff.

Just watched a Roger Corman production featuring Vincent Price in three roles and also starring the outstanding Peter Lorre and his reptilian delirium tremens hallucinations (an iguana, a python, a rattlesnake, a gila monster, other snakes, etc.), and Basil Rathbone..
Tales of Terror. A collection of stories by that great American booze hound, Edgar Allen Poe. I especially loved Peter Lorre in The Black Cat.
A Cheers! of Jester King's Wythchmaker Farmhouse Rye India Pale Ale to his work, not his STDs. And a Cheers! to Vincent Price.

And a Cheers! to the fun madness of Peter Lorre. I used to love the old Warner Brothers Looney Tunes that would spoof him.

Watched the first two episodes of Tales from the Crypt, Season 1. Good and fun stuff. "The Man Who was Death" and "And All Through the House". I recommend both.

Oh, and drinking and finishing my third Palate Wrecker from Green Flash out of San Diego, so this Cheers! is dedicated to EC Comics, The Old Witch, The Vault Keeper, The Crypt Keeper, and William M. Gaines, oh, and his Dad and to Mad Magazine.
And a huge freakin' Jeers! to the infamous Comic's Code and censorship in the U.S. of A.,the land of Freedom of Speech!

Just watched the third and fourth episodes of Tales From the Crypt's first season. They are "Dig That Cat... He's Real Gone" and "Sin Deep". Both very, very good. An aside, I just noticed that the Crypt Keeper has holes in eyes eyelids. When he blinks you can still see his eyeball. Good stuff.

I just watched "The Ripper", the first episode of Season 1 of Kolchak: The Night Stalker. It premiered in 1974-1975 and I was turned on to it on syndication in the late seventies or early eighties as a wee little kid by my brother David, who basically tortured me with horror making me the fan I am today. So to my older bro, Cheers! This episode was about Jack the Ripper still being alive and now killing in Chicago. A fun series with great actors and characters, some chills, and plenty of wry humor. I recommend. LOB-15

"The Zombie". The second episode of the first season of Kolchak: The Night Stalker. The undead is of the Haitian Vodun variety. The zombie looked great and downright creepy. Very good watch. Horror fans should seek out this forgotten gem of a teevee series. Drinking Lone Star Beer, it's cheap! Cheers! LOB-16

Watched Creepshow 2 and loved the first two stories and thought the third was ok. It's very 80's. I liked the little end quote about people using comic books and other things as scapegoats instead of focusing on the actual issues.

Watched the third episode of Kolchak: The Night Stalker, Season One. "They Have Been, They Are, They Will Be..." This episode is about UFOs and bone marrow-sucking aliens. It is a Disclosure episode decades before The Disclosure Movement.
Heading to work....

Just watched Creepshow for the first time since I was eight or nine. I saw it a few times on cable. I didn't remember the scene with Bob Buckland vs Samoan #1 or Sika. That was great. Also, one of my few phobias is roaches. The last story made my skin crawl. And yep, Jake, this is a who's who of Hollywood. Lots of fun, and Stephen King was funny.
And don't fuck with a kid's comic books, all you adults!!!

When I was younger I went on vacation and a week later came back to my house to find like 500 cockroaches swarming in my bathtub. I killed those bastards with bleach and placed roach traps around the house and didn't have to deal with them for like 7 years. They're starting to come back though.

Bastards. Kill them all. Kill them all.
Just watched The Twilight Zone The Movie for the first time since I saw it a bunch of times once again sometime when I was eight or nine. Better than I remember. I was quite a critic apparently as a tyke.
Four parts, the directors were John Landis, Joe Dante, Steven Spielberg, and George Miller (who?). Truly the flight from Hell. Drinking a Saint Arnold Lawnmower (Kolsch). Cheers!
