The projectionist is feeling all Tingly….
Nora, will you just shut up already….you’re hysterical
And holy hand grenade batman, your Women of Castle feature blows my mind. There’s so much there to digest-I think you and I need to not only start up our own Carnival but get a Wax Museum going as well. Think of the possibilities- No really… fantastic feature at the Dungeon today, I’ll be looking at it over and over and over and over…
His face still gives me the heebies. Ray Russell is a writer who knows how to terrify… but even worse is slimy Oscar Homolka who is just too cozy with those leeches Yuk
A nice “catalogue” of Victims & Villains in Castle’s movies.
Of all the photos here, I must say the one that really gets me is the one of Vincent Price on the couch with that “necktie”. Crazy! Just the thought of that thing makes me break out in a sweat! :)

Nice; This post makes me want to run to my collection and binge on these movies. Sardonicus = creepiest thing ever!
