Jerry Lee Lewis Scares Us!

Dick Miller, not Dick Smith.  RIP, Mr. Futterman.

Here is Dick Smith, applying makeup to Jonathan Frid to age-ify him on Dark Shadows and House of Dark Shadows:

Ryan at the piano.

Yeah, so the Israel Keyes video is on youtube.  It's really disturbing so I'm not going to put it here.  You can go find it yourselves, you sick mohfohs.  (I DID NOT SEND IT TO KATYA!  SHE IS MAKING UP MADE UP THINGS!!!)

Here's the Ted Bundy television movie I remember from my childhood.  Mark Harmon ... huh!  Who'da thunk.

Oh my god!  My memory was real!!!!!  HERE'S THE BODY IN THE SNOW!

The real Jerry Lee Lewis, and ...

...Dennis Quaid, arguably hotter than the real deal.  He's got crazy face in that picture, though, so ...

...Dennis Quaid how I remember him as a child in Innerspace, when I thought he was hotty hot hot.  And oh yeah!  He was the lead in ...

... Jaws 3 (otherwise known as Jaws 3-D because the 80s).

Ah, what the hell. Here's the most amazing moment from Jaws 3:

Oh, you should watch it too:

There.  Don't you feel better now?

Dreamgirls!!!!

The Pied Piper of Lost Souls.

Jerry Lee and his 13 year old cousin, Myra Gale Brown.

Noners as Myra Gale Brown in Great Balls of Fire.

Shawn Stephens on her wedding day to the Killer.  (Um.  His nickname.  Not his alleged homicidal activities.)

Gremlins Scares Us! (And We're Back Back Back Again!)

We're reporting to you from the doldrums of winter, even though now it's the beginning of June!  So travel back in time with us to the dark horrible-ness of January and experience the awesome-ness that is my favorite holiday movie ... Gremlins!

My newest touring play! 

Below is the Orson Welles' Macbeth so you can watch Lady M leap from the mountain, hit the side ... and bounce.

And here is the trailer for We Have Always Lived in the Castle!

For Lindsey -- some Carmilla action!!!

And some Vampire Lovers!

A reminder repost of how amazing Lindsey is with these birds.

Gremlins cereal!  Basically Captain Crunch in, what I'm guessing are supposed to be Mogwais.  Mogwum?

Me with my stuffed Gizmo that I wish was the original that I received for Christmas in 1984.  That one is lost to the ages; this one I picked up in Paducah, Kentucky, while I was in grade school.

Mrs. Deagle's death grimace!  I will own this someday.

More Gremlins merchandise!!!  I had most-to-all of this stuff.

Dammit, Shannon!

I feel like this still exists at my parents' house somewhere ... wonder if I could get it to work?  Anyone ... anyone ...?

Henry Thomas and the woman with one finger from Cloak and Dagger ...and I think that's Roman Castavet from Rosemary's Baby!

The Howling!

Belinda Belaski faces a werewolf in The Howling!  "But Mr. Quist, it's Christmas!"

 

Amazing makeup from The Howling:  Eddie Quist, werewolf extraordinaire. 

C'mon ... it looks so real!!!

When does after midnight become before midnight?

Buy this and read it right now.

The hotness that is Zach Galligan.  I guess I had a very specific type when I was a kid.  Observe Charlie from Fright Night ...

... and David from An American Werewolf in London ...

Oh man.  I really did.

The poster for Ted Geoghegan's We Are Still Here!

See, Katya?  See????

Deputy Brent, then and now.

"I need help, Rose!"

Kate's monologue.  Watch it, we'll wait.

The Coreys.

Tiger Beat, just for you.

Lynn Peltzer versus the Gremlins (don't watch this if you ... you know what, just watch it.  Be a grown up.)

And here's something cool ... a few months after we recorded this episode, I picked up this lunchbox at Time Bomb Collectibles in Spokane, Washington -- check 'em out when you're there!  (And here's Gizmo in his famous pink Barbie car!  Supah dupah queer.  Gizmo as a gay pride icon!)

Here's the Gremlins don't drink and drive PSA (featuring Stripe's awesome death):

Original Gizmo ...

...and Gizmo from Gremlins 2!
