More than usual these last few days (actually since last Friday) ... and still trying to figure how we shoved an umbrella through the wall at that angle.... (would have had to have been done "over-handed", and my damaged shoulder does not allow for such movement).
Friend's girlfriend had to leave last night when she received a call that her Mom had just been arrested,... (and earlier in the week the rude person at Spore, did not "help"... that problem is "fixed" and well)
Actually just scratching the surface of some of the "mess" this past week...
It all turned out to be a bit more than we could take... nearly fell apart in the process. (Not a good thing)...
All in all we will try to be in better spirits, regardless of "Things"... Sorry for not being able to take things this week... now, for the most part, We just do not "care"... Caring "Hurts"...
Well we made it up to "E" before things got to us....

The "Tar-man" is a memorable movie monster.

Long before we learned of Spore, there were The Sims... Many a custom character and fictional People... Even a "Stacey" Sim...
or even the folks from movies, like "Hellraiser"...
"T".... "T" is for the great "Mr. Todd....!!!!!!
Been an fan of Sweeney Todd, since we first heard the Tales of his Murders (and the "meat pies" at an early age... ( from the old 1800's "Penny Dreadfuls") ... his "chair design was a bit different then.
And the "Meat Pie" part really fascinated us as a child ( they carried the "remains" down the sewers to the lower crypts of a Church down the way to hide the evidence.
And Tim Burton and Johnny Depp gave "new life" to this great Character...
Even was able (with more than a bit of "difficulty") to get Both 12 inch Figures...!!!
"U"... What else,...??? the "Undead"...!!!
Not know for being very "friendly"...
the Undead-Thing on the cover of this book frightened us for years... My First "Undead" as a kid.
For years "Authur Grimsdyke" ((Tales from the Crypt 1972) was one of the first well-done Corpse from the grave segments in a Horror film. Many more restless dead have come from the grave since.
No clips to be found... sorry about that...
Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (1974) is a Favorite of Stacey...

The included "parchment" said that the Zuni Hunting Fetish, is called, "He Who Kills" and contains the "Spirit of this fierce Warrior" ... the small gold chain around its waist keeps the violent thing at rest... But, as you may have guessed... the chain falls off, unleashing this tiny terror...!!!
Just to let you know... this post took us several hours to make...
Well managed to basically keep the same "Theme" (influences in my Life)
And something that a "Fan" in Europe did for Dr. Theda.... We always get a "Smile from this one, Thanks....
About "bit off more that we could chew" to put together this post... well over 5 hours to create.... Enjoy...
ReplyDeleteGreat post- I remember that trilogy of terror with Karen Black and that tiny creepy warrior. She become him in the end - ha!
DeleteThat little doll scared us for many years as a kid.
DeleteHope that you and yours are well, dear Lady M.
We were determined to Finish the "A to Z'...
ReplyDeleteSorry that we did Not quite follow their "Guide-lines"...
...But, It is completed...!!!
YOWZA, WHAT AN EPIC POST! I'm surprised you're not exhausted from compiling it! Well done.
ReplyDeleteit took much longer than we were expecting... Hello from Marshville, dear Lady Debra...
DeleteNice stuff. I was planning on sleeping, but now I'm not so sure...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a few movies listed here that I need to watch. I've been wanting to watch trilogy of Terror for quite some time (I'm a huge Richard Matheson fan) but have never been able to track it down) and I've heard of Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things but hadn't seen anything from it. Looks incredibly creepy!
"Children" is a "Fun" film... even the film-maker and his Sister are in the movie... (and the quote , just before the Zombie grabs him... "Oh God, They buried this guy without his Right-Guard"..)
