"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Speaking of horror, Criterion is putting up a '70s horror collection for the month. I'm not a huge horror fan, but there are a few I should probably watch for my Century+ project, e.g. The Wicker Man. I've already seen Daughters of Darkness, Black Christmas, It's Alive (in the theater as a kid if you can believe it), and Invasion of the Body Snatchers. But what else should I see?

Oooof. I'd say Vampire Lovers, Wicker Man, and....either Rabid or Texas Chainsaw Massabre, based on my mood.

Speaking of horror movies, I once again recommend The Conjuring 1 & 2 to anyone who has fond memories of the "true story" haunted house paperbacks from the 70s. While Ed and Lorraine Warren were dodgy as hell in real life, the fictional versions of them in these movies are a delight.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh, did I say that out loud? I should have put that in spoiler font.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Theater of Blood (if it's the one I'm thinking of) is one I've enjoyed - Vincent Price and Diana Rigg? Shakespearean revenge?
