I’ve never seen the Starz series Outlander so I can’t attest to its quality…but I CAN fawn over these apothecary still frames which are unbelievably awesome.
This is everything I love about the apothecary aesthetic (is that even a thing? It is to me). I’ve been oddly fixated on painting a room in my house teal lately, and this isn’t helping.
Do watch Outlander? Is it worth seeing?
I couldn’t choose which link to post…so have a bunch!
What those dead bird holiday cards I posted the other day actually mean.
Most of the pics in this post require no comment…but don’t skip this androgynous, anthropomorphic pothead (see what I did there?). I find its lean, wiry body very disconcerting.
Fellow horror fans…I confess I felt remiss in my duties when I discovered there were a number of 80’s Christmas Horror Movies I haven’t seen. A kind reader sent me this list.
Luckily, 80’s Horror has compiled a nice list of every Christmas horror movie made in the decade. How many have you seen?
They also note two awesome TV episodes (which were staples of my childhood): Tales from the Darkside- Seasons of Belief…

And Tales from the Crypt- And All Through the House
Check out 80’s Christmas Horror Movies.
I urge you to drop everything and watch the inimitable Morgan Freeman in the role of a vegetarian vampire (he starred in The Electric Company 45 years ago). Within 10 seconds, you’ll realize the combination deadpan delivery and exaggerated vaudevillian charm is nearly impossible to describe…but utterly fantastic.
I’ve actually never seen this show. Has anyone watched it?
I meant to watch this as part of my Halloween season last year, but never got to it. There were a bunch of free full episodes on the BBC website, but when I attempted to play them I got an error message stating that the content is unavailable in my country.
Has anyone seen this series?
Would you like your home to contain a 5th dimension beyond that which is known to man? A dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity? A middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, that lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge?
Well, you’re in luck. This “life size” Twilight Zone wall decal contains the iconic (eyeconic?) eye and clock from the opening credit sequence, floating in the endless vastness of space.
I’m tempted. Oh yes.
I’ve been back on an Alfred Hitchcock kick lately, and last night I re-watched one of my all time favorite episodes (perhaps of ANY TV show). If you haven’t seen The Alfred Hitchcock Hour: An Unlocked Window, the full episode is on YouTube for free and I highly recommend it.
A group of nurses, caring for an ailing patient, are trapped in an old manor on a stormy night with a notorious nurse killer on the loose outside of the house.
And someone left the basement window unlocked…
Leave it to Hitchcock to take a subject as potentially cliche as “killer on the loose during a storm” and, through masterful direction, lighting and dialogue, turn it into a story no viewer will soon forget. It’s perfectly crafted…and even more amazing the second time with the insight of retrospect illuminating how carefully these scenes were constructed.
This episode should be shown in every film writing class. Watch for yourself!
Summary Bug is a roundup of hilarious, unintentional text glitches in Netflix (and cable) show descriptions.
My favorite:
Hm. They’ve taken some artistic liberties in this adaptation, and let the Hunchback branch out into the career he always dreamed of: time traveling paleontological ophthalmologist.
I knew his noble stoicism was a front.
A phenomenological tour de force, no doubt:
Followers are starting to post their own fabulous glitches. Some are truly amazing.
I hope these glitches never get fixed.
I very rarely post action figures here, but this one is worth pointing out.
Here is the dialogue that ensued when my best friend showed me the link to this product:
Ron: Does that thing not capture all the misery of the latter era Tenth Doctor? I want to give up just looking at it.
Dana: Tenth Doctor figure with EXISTENTIAL CRISIS ACTION!
Ron: He should be able to talk, and say really sad things, like “I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry,” and “I don’t want to go,” or “I may not die, but it feels like dying.” It should also come with a device that makes it rain on him.
Is this not the most internally conflicted action figure you’ve ever laid eyes on?
Here are six different angles of pain.
David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor was unequivocally my favorite in the series. Glad they’re capturing his tortured charisma in collectible figures.
