Belated Bela!

I missed the birthday of Bela Lugosi by one day. I was rather busy yesterday. Much less busy today, so I watched the first of 10 Bela movies from this YouTube. Beware, if you know how to disable the subtitles, do so. They "translate" idiomatic English into every day English and do it very badly. Also the pronouns are out of whack. The movie itself was okay, noteworthy for being the only Colour movie for Bela as a lead. If I tell you the title of the movie, I'll spoil the ending. (Dumb move producers!)

 

If I get a chance, I'll watch "The Corpse Vanishes" next. A few "good" Ed Wood selections in this marathon.

I spent the rest of the day, fidgeting with laundry. I cleaned all of the costume sheets I have (Mickey, Mike Wazowski, Star Wars, etc.) and I'm currently trying to purge a lot of clothing that I haven't worn in years. It's not easy choosing what to throw away donate. 

Here is the last of my BPRD comics. I may have a few more in Canada.

 

 

Today's Oni may look like a sheet, Ittan-Momen style, but it's actually a board that gets nasty, 板の鬼 Ita no Oni. Fortunately, they tend to prey on sleeping Samurai, but it wouldn't hurt to stay alert.

 

Here's a cool Beetlejuice figure a friend gave me.

I don't think I've linked to i-mockery lately. Go there and click around, you're sure to find something of interest. OR just go to the main Countdown to Halloween site and see if there are any others that suit your fancy.

I'm calling it an early night tonight, see ya on the flipside!

I'm rewatching all the Universal movies this Halloween again, so lots of Bela in my future!
