Vincent Price is great in that one. Easily within his top 10 performances.

The Paleface

The band Laibach comes to mind when you mention this angle. They play with the ambiguity of the lyrics from the Sound of Music for example. A cute song about children staying up past their bedtime is turned into a creepy and disturbing cover about the Goebbels' family and the last days of the Third Reich and with the father dressed up as Kim Jong Un. The imagery on the wall is also influenced by the anti-fascist painter John Heartfield too.

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-47745841 Belgian-born film-maker Agnes Varda has died at the age of 90. Her family told the AFP news agency she died at her home on Thursday as a result of complications from cancer. Varda was one of the key figures in the French New Wave in the 1960s, making films like Cleo from 5 to 7, Le Bonheur and The Creatures. She was the first female director to be awarded an honorary Oscar in 2017, and became the oldest ever nominee for a competitive Oscar last year. Appearing at the BFI in London in 2018, she told the audience: "I wanted to invent cinema, and be happy to be a woman. I wanted to be a radical." The director made her name with her first film, La Pointe Courte, in 1955. She went on to be one of the key figures in the French New Wave with works including 1962's Cleo from 5 to 7, about a model's anguished two-hour wait for the results of her cancer test. She was married to one of the movements's other leading lights, fellow director Jacques Demy. Varda continued making acclaimed films throughout her career. Vagabond from 1985, 1988's Kung-Fu Master, 1995's One Hundred and One Nights and the autobiographical The Beaches of Agnes from 2008 were all hits on the festival circuit. Her 2018 Oscar nomination came in the best documentary feature category for her film Faces Places. The film saw Varda and a photographer and artist called JR journey through rural France and form an unlikely friendship. Varda was unable to attend the annual lunch for Oscar nominees that year, so sent several life size cardboard cut-outs of herself, much to the delight of the other attendees. Varda, who was easily recognisable for her bowl-cut bob, worked up to the end. Her autobiographical documentary Varda by Agnes premiered at the Berlin Film Festival last month, where she also received a lifetime achievement award. Also a noted photographer, screenplay writer, actress and visual artist, she often used her own life as the framework for her films. She also became the first female director to receive a rare honorary Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2015. At the time, Cannes organisers said: "Her work and her life are infused with the spirit of freedom, the art of driving back boundaries, a fierce determination and a conviction that brooks no obstacles." After her death was announced, French Culture Minister Franck Riester tweeted: "Shaken, overwhelmed, bereaved: these feelings that come with the certainty that we have just lost one of the greatest artists of our time." The Film Society of Lincoln Centre in the US, which organises the New York Film Festival, thanked Varda for "seven decades of perpetually influential and inventive work that has moved us deeply". The European arm of film studio Studio Canal also paid tribute to Varda on social media. Her family told AFP in a statement: "The director and artist Agnes Varda died at her home on the night of Thursday of complications from cancer. She was surrounded by her family and friends."

Have you ever visited the place? Do you believe in the ghost? I would assume a "scientific" person like you is very skeptical of the paranormal.

Cabaret Next: a film with at least two murders in it

Yeah, it's not my favorite either but it may be interesting to see what they do with it. I won't hold high expectations though.

Not sure if it was posted yet, so I'm creating a thread for it. https://news.avclub.com/guys-and-dolls-is-getting-a-remake-now-1833592249 According to Variety, TriStar Pictures has picked up the rights to the Guys And Dolls Broadway musical, the Damon Runyon short stories that the musical was based on, the book and music from the Broadway musical, and the 1955 film adaptation starring Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, and Frank Sinatra. The obvious reasoning for this, beyond putting together some kind of bizarre Guys And Dolls collection that exclusively includes legal paperwork, is that TriStar is planning to develop a Guys And Dolls remake, following the success of recent movies like La La Land and The Greatest Showman. We don’t know much beyond that, but hopefully TriStar’s production will find room for Mark Hamill’s classic Guys And Dolls number. The studio might have to negotiate for permission to use Star Wars, but it clearly has a lot of practice getting the rights to stuff.

Well we certainly don't want that.

The coal scene really sounds like the Shaw Brothers' film the Spiritual Boxer. There may also have been one in Five Deadly Venoms but I haven't seen it in a while and am not certain.
