Plan to spend some time with a psychiatrist this weekend

A day late for Halloween but it's close enough for me to watch the collection with Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Start off with "Manhunter" then the remake of that with Ed. Micheal Mann version is still better even though the remake has Anthony Hopkins. I hope they never remake "Silence" or "Hannibal". Then I suppose I'll watch "Hannibal Rising". I'm glad Thomas Harris got some cash for that mess. Maybe I'll watch it in odd sequence? "Hannibal Rising", "Red Dragon" and then the Frankie Faison trilogy? Only man to be in all of them. No Chianti or Amarone (movie or the book). maybe port? I like fortified wines (yes even Thunderbird :lol:).

Maybe for the weekend eats I'll make a big pot of Sunday Gravy inspired by The Sopranos Family Cookbook? get most of the farm animals in that pot :D.

    Some go nutz for those 'horror shows' but I find them not only disgusting but boring.
    The government has no rights. Only the people have rights which empowers the government.

    I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:

    Fell asleep in both "Hannibal Rising" and "Red Dragon" without the help of a bottle of port.

    Brookwood - Never seen the Bela movie. Walmart did have all those movies a little while back. maybe I'll stop and see ho much they're going for while I'm on the hunt for Halloween sacks of Pay Day.

    Quick&Dead - I don't think they're that much of a horror show. Then again my tolerance might differ.

    KenK/84Bravo - I'm all the help I need. Besides when I talk to myself it's only in English and I never answer with "what?" to the voices.

    Yosh, the best Bela movie is the original 1931 release "Count Dracula". My 2nd favorite is the old Lon Chaney Jr. version of "The Wolfman" where Bela has just a bit part. The old original "monster" fliks IMHO are the best by far! Karloff, Price, Chaney, Lagosi, Peter Lori, Cushing, and Lee are tops! All the new stuff showing blood, guts, and gore are pure crap.

    Then there are some pretty entertaining Mexican made horror fliks that were dubbed in English with very comical results! Check out Germ?n Robles on the IMDB sometime! I was once hooked on some of his series movies about a guy named Nosterdamous (sp) who was a Mexican vampire! Might have been back during my hippie period! :o :shock:

    I think I'm good for another year or two. I wouldn't say I got a clean bill but I won't snap and start looking for clock towers.

    Brookwood - I'll see if Walmart still got the monster movies laying about. If not I'll look for them next October. Maybe I'll look on fleabay for the box set I thought I seen Walmart having the one with the "Creature From The Black Lagoon". I wonder if they'll be like watching old "Gojira" movies?

    As for the Mexican vampire movies. I recall seeing on the show "The Strain" they had a luchador (Mexican Wrassling) vampire hunter as part of their story. Honestly I think that would be a riot if they exisit. What were the old-ish vampire movies I have? "Captain Cronos The Vampire Hunter" and the one where some dude is stomping around in a barrel full of cabbage. One of these days I'll also have to track down all those "Hammer" vamp flix.

    I have found that being able to hit the internet to find those old movies and TV shows that I remember enjoying when I was young, can be a double edge sword.

    As I have aged I have either gotten a lot smarter or must have been pretty deprived regarding what good entertainment was supposed to be! :)

    A lot of what I liked back then, Really just plain SUCKS seeing it again today! :shock:

    I guess there is a moral to my story here. It is pretty much impossible to get back your mind set from another time and era.

    Really? You got to snap a pic if you go by there. That house must be a trip during Halloween. Say did they paint the house all cheery like? Or do they have a sign on the porch indicating it's the Jame Gum house?

    I see that Jame Gumb house went on the market a bit back according to the news. I do wonder if the house is worth $300K? Maybe some of the furnitures used in the movie comes with the house? Being a "historic" house I wouldn't want to deal with it.

    I suppose having a "pit" in the basement could add some value to the place! For the right buyer of coarse! :lol:
