So sad, he was so handsome & full of life. Not only gorgeous, but that ACCENT! Swoon!

Wow thanks for that clip! I loved that show & did not realize faves Reta Shaw & Charles Nelson Reilly were part of it. Kids & other charactors certainly added to the story-especially since I was a kid & didn't really understand romance. I did know the scene of the kids feeding ducks was a "foul" even as a 10 year old, since I raised Pekin Ducks & knew they don't live in salt water. As an adult I just fell in love with the movie, though.

That movie is chilling in parts. Unfortunately, I saw all the SNL parodies way before seeing the movie, which kind of ruined the impact. Instead of being horrified, I felt so sad for the little girl & her Mom. I'll probably watch ROCKY HORROR since it's easy to interrupt for trick-or-treaters...hope they come! Then I'll look for GHOST STORY streaming. Thanks for the recommendations! That seems to be the case with many classic films, but especially horror. Once you know exactly what will happen your attention drifts, the "scare" loses impact.

Thanks to MC'Ohio's Herculean Schedule Cleansing, I was able to plan out my future recording for viewing at least half the month: 11/2 1:30PM WHISTLING IN THE DARK 78min 3:00PM WHISLING IN DIXIE ’42 74min 11/7 10:08A MEXICAN SPITFIRE ’40 68min (about time I see these programmers) 11/8 10AM NIGHTFALL!! ’57 79min (I've wanted to see this forever!) 11/12 8:00PM GILDED LILY ’35 83min (never seen this, sounds promising) 11/13 7:15AM THEIR BIG MOMENT ’34 68min (Zazu as psychic! Ghosts! Murder!) 11/15 GAMBIT ’67 108min. (Yay Ronald Neame! Yay MacLaine!) I need "lighthearted" movies right now. THANK YOU OHIO! I would have been crestfallen if I had missed NIGHTFALL or GAMBIT.

Wasn't she GOD in a Woody Allen movie? A big face up in the sky?

What about Boop's other voice, Mae Questel?

They re-used that cat shadow for THE CAT & THE CANARY publicity photos: How cute is this cheesecake pic-the pumpkin's going crazy! And from GHOST BREAKERS:

There's a suggestion in my "subscriptions" this event will be "live" tonight. I'll tune in as a listener & leave the interaction for others.

Hee hee the music accompanying that clip sounded more like a kid's comedy. But yeah, BLITHE SPIRIT, GHOST & MRS MUIR are favorites, but as I understood the OP was asking for scary ghost stories. Too bad once you've seen a classic a couple of times, it definitely becomes less & less scary.

The high point of William Marshall's career will be his stint as Pee-Wee's King Of Cartoons: (and a memorable Star Trek episode)

HOUSE OF WAX '53 works best when seen in 3D in a theater & audience. It generally would make the 'rounds this time of year. Not this year.

MST3K did that movie, so you can assume it's not really scary. The UNINVITED '44 is a real ghost story, but not very scary. I'm sure you've seen THE SHINING '80, which technically has ghosts, although not the filmy floating kind. I always thought POLTERGEIST was a great ghost movie, but sure you've must have already seen it. The OTHERS '01 reminds me of THE INNOCENTS '61. Similar in tone, THE ORPHANAGE '07 scared me enough I had to turn it off after the first 30 minutes. I agree with the Japanese ghost story genre being scary, HAUSU is pretty nightmarish as is RINGU. The ghost story that scared me the most was PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, I had to fast forward (to disengage) through almost all of it to be able to sleep that night. No ghosts seen though, only objects moving.

Ah-HA! Funny, my other house is only 2 blocks away and ME-TV showed up over there on channel 2.1. When I couldn't receive 2.1 at this house, I thought it was just bad antenna reception. But scrolling through channels yesterday, I found ME-TV on 40.1! Go figure.

Agree about Lee's Dracula hairpiece. Noticed he didn't have the same impact, didn't realize it was the hair. I love BLACULA and the sequel SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM, combining my loves of horror & Blacksploitation. If you love Bollywood & horror there's some great combos out there too. Last night I tuned in TCM to catch 1959's THE GAZEBO. I last saw it when it premiered on TCM and remembered loving it, but had forgotten all the details. I think it was even better this time, I really appreciated Glenn Ford's comic performance-boy was he great! I'm not a Glenn Ford fan, but he was HILARIOUS as the mild mannered writer who resorts to murder in order to save his wife's reputation. The wife is played by Debbie Reynolds who never looked so gorgeous. It was fun seeing her play the straight man, I noticed she emotes a lot through her voice. Also notable supports were John McGiver playing a wholly unusual role for him-beautifully done and Carl Reiner at his peak, making it look so effortless you barely notice him. The lighting, sets, props & costuming was wonderful.... my only complaint was it should have been in color. A fun film just about anyone would enjoy. (haha who "gives away" a shower curtain?)

WAH I can no longer watch Svengoolie/Star Trek. ME-TV was dropped here.

Shortsightedness happens WAY too often. Previously almost impossible to fill, these 1500 seat theaters have the advantage these days to allow physical distancing. But really they should have been kept around just for intrinsic, historical reasons.

Yeah, he loves that drive-in classic! Heh my first Kobal book was a water damaged edition bought for $1.99 when I was 17-18. It snowballed into a life's hobby and later replacement copy. Many of the pages are framable. Helps that I grew up in Rochester and was mesmerized by this life size photograph at the Eastman House as a child: Other than Kobal's Hollywood photography books in my library are: MASTERS OF STARLIGHT by Rich & Fahey, JEAN HOWARDS HOLLYWOOD, THE IMAGE MAKERS Trent & Lawton, HURRELS HOLLYWOOD PORTRAITS and fave Harold Lloyds Stereoviews since I collect those too owning several viewers. I also am a sucker for any book about theaters, both picture books & more academic historical ones. I also can pore over books of movie posters-my unattainable title is the Bollywood poster book.

Probably about 100-150 books on Hollywood in my library. The one I can't afford is the retrospective about the huge back ground canvas paintings, going rate $150. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rescuing-scenic-backdrops-from-hollywoods-golden-age/ My favorites? I really like all Gerald Clarke biographies, everything by Garson Kanin (esp the Tracy/Hepburn one), the Kobal books of still photography (I have about 20 Hollywood photography books) and most everything by Leonard Maltin-but my favorite is MOVIE CRAZY. I'm currently re-reading GENIUS OF THE SYSTEM by Schatz. I was most surprised by how good both Charlotte Chandler's books on Bette Davis & Joan Crawford were. I had already read a lot about them, Chandler's books really fleshed them out. I was also surprised how good Dian Cannon's book DEAR CARY was about their courtship & marriage.

Looks like a movie palace to me.

It's not the color/b&w that makes a difference-it's the lighting. Wrinkles show more the more shadows you have. If you light a face fully, there are fewer wrinkles. This advert has nothing to do with the "product", just notice the difference in lighting. No "black" shadows in pic 2, not even under the nose. Of course, make up would help even out the skin tones, making the face look even smoother. A lower camera angle helps hide "sagging". Pulling the skin from under the hair is the most effective, instant hidden de-wrinkler for photographs. I have even pulled up low breasts with duct tape on the shoulder, hidden by long hair. Remember what professional photographers say, "The camera always lies"

That's why I stay off Amazon/Alexa. You can search a title (say, TUCKER '88) and all results will be pay to view options. If you are in your router/browser (say, Firestick/Hulu/etc) and you TYPE in the search field, if your searched title is free to watch, it will be included & show you where. I watch a lot of movies free on Tubi, Pluto & YouTube.

I love that in a 2+ hour movie, people only remember 20 seconds of bewbs or butts. Personally, I loathe sex in films, but LAST PICTURE SHOW's nudity wasn't a sex act, it was a liberation/celebration of youth. I found the scene joyous and absolutely suitable for children to see. Yeah, Sepia, TUCKER is one of my favorite films too. Wasn't available for a LONG time. I suspect it had much to do with Joe Jackson's soundtrack. I also have FAT CITY '72, HEARTS OF THE WEST '75, FEARLESS '93 but my other very favorite performance of Jeff Bridges is in 1991's THE FISHER KING. It's a great film and Bridges is wonderful in it. Yummy. Look at that hand-he hasn't done a day of labor in his life!

Here, I'll do it for you- slapstick in a romantic comedy:

I think we're living longer and the advances in medicine make diagnosis easier.....eventually everyone is going to have some condition. When the pandemic hit and they stated "anyone with a condition that compromises their ability to fight infection (and seniors) are the most vulnerable", I realized that described 90% of everyone I know. I'm sad to hear he has been diagnosed with that, it'll be a fight but I'm sure he'll manage. Jeff Bridges has always been a fave since I saw him in THE LAST PICTURE SHOW. I have a beautiful framed lobby card of Jeff Bridges & Tim Bottoms sitting in the diner decorating my kitchen so I'm not eating alone.

Yeah, this chump re-registered just in case everything previously had been deleted. Hope they use my question. It specifically stated, "ask a question about the podcast "The Plot Thickens" which I did.
