The monsters are truly a sight to behold.
Damn! I want to see that! I like Mexican horrors!

Hans Conreid's inimitable, bravura rendition of "Do Mi Do Duds" in The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T is, for me, an eagerly anticipated highlight in that subversive Suessical. His effervescent elocution of Ted Geisel's loony lyrics -- such as "undulating undies" and "cutie chamois booties" -- is supremely skillful, splendiferous, and sublime.
D'okay. "Do Me Do Duds" is the only part of that movie that I wanna look at... like a peek-a-boo blouse with maribou frills...

Two years later, Lon Chaney, Jr. decided to get in on the act with his version
HANS CONRIED and ALICE PEARCE did a wonderful album Monster Rally ... this one is my favorite from that :

I personally think Barry Lyndon is fantastic, one of the greatest of all American movies.
We agree. It is stunning. I don't know that I agree with everything in the article you cite.
I will say what I always say, Barry Lyndon is a cad; RYAN O'NEAL is perfect casting.

Though the subject matter interests me not, The Red Shoes may be even more beautiful than Black Narcissus
BLACK NARCISSUS was the film that first made me aware of MICHAEL POWELL, the first film of his I know I saw was THE RED SHOES. That film remains a huge success, particularly financially. That's POWELL's one film I don't look at, though TCM gives opportunity often enough. TCM does show PEEPING TOM, a film one does not forget.

The original Monster Mash performed by Bobby "Boris" Pickett.
I was of course, talking about ZACHERLE's album Monster Mash which does include a cover of the hit...

It was released on Decca Records in 1967, about one year or slightly more before Boris Karloff's death. I acquired the lp several years after its initial release -- another mail order via Famous Monsters of Filmland and Captain Company.
I remember that one but never owned it. I know I've got 2 different KARLOFF albums of ghoulish stories... Tales of the Frightened ...? I've got a HITCHCOCK one too I think...

He played many wonderful roles... I'm particularly fond of this one:

This 1963 "spoken word" album
I own a copy on vinyl... I still have all of my "Halloween" records, most are sound effects or "spoken word" like Famous Monsters Speak. I have music too like ZACHERLE's albums and 45s. I've got an orange vinyl record shaped like a pumpkin... it has 4 obscure tracks on it.

SCTV
I was looking to see if anyone mentioned SCTV... Johnny LaRue was probably my favorite... Schitt's Creek is also wonderful.

^ Yes, the same year. Great record!
However, Comes A Time was not my "first real time record" that might've been ELTON JOHN or WINGS or PETER FRAMPTON...
Listening to this:

Hell yeh. I like all of MICHAEL POWELL's films, starting with BLACK NARCISSUS. Mesmerizing, hypnotic, and gorgeous.
When I say "starting with" I only meant BLACK NARCISSUS was his first film I saw...

Yes, people complain about this film's length and pace, but is there any denying it is one of the most gorgeous motion pictures ever?
I'd be hard pressed to think of another... BARRY LYNDON just gets better and better for me. I could see where audiences would have stayed away in droves.

It definitely put me into a trance
Definitely the way I reacted to these long "motionless" films like LAWRENCE OF ARABIA or 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY... films I now love and find endlessly watchable... DEATH IN VENICE is like that too... a snooze-fest... now, all favorites of mine.

I listen to the soundtrack all the time on youtube.
I have a used CD (expect it's OOP again) uploaded. The vinyl also quickly went out of print. It is interesting how academy award winning... eh "soundtracks" often fall OOP (Hannah And Her Sisters)...
