Random Ramblings from the Vault...

  • So who are today's equivalents of Price, Lugosi, Karloff, etc.? Is it Englund? Campbell? Henriksen? Anyone?
  • Am I the only who always got profoundly annoyed at Stephen King's propensity for introducing dumb little catchphrases into all his novels and having the characters repeat them ad nauseum? They all float down here, indeed.
  • I never remember so many women being into horror as there are these days. If it had been like this 20 years ago, I might have had a better time in high school.
  • FACT: Every person who grew up in the mid 1970s to early 1980s has been permanently traumatized by viewing Don't Be Afraid of the Dark on TV.
  • Greatest thing about The Mad Monster Party? Those Jack Davis character designs. Phenomenal.
  • Important Question: Who was the coolest horror-themed pro wrestler? Papa Shango? Mortis? The Boogeyman? Mankind? Waylon Mercy (gotta love a gimmick inspired by Max Cady)?
  • Since we're lucky enough to have Ray Harryhausen still among us, shouldn't someone give the old man a chance to shine just one more time? Show them CGI punks what's what...
  • Was any major-release horror film this year met with more general apathy than the Stepfather remake? This decade, for that matter?
  • And finally, keep your eyes peeled for more Ms. Horror Blogosphere developments. Candidate interview questions go out later this week...
