I loved Vincent Price, just rented the Pit and the Pendulum to watch again. I heard it read at a Poe event, I came home and read it again myself then watched. It brought back some cool memories of watching Vincent Price with my friends.
I remember The Birds so well, which is a miracle, considering my memory of late. But that movie didn't scare me. Maybe. Vincent Price did more. It might have been the tone of his voice and his special kind of articulation.
Hi, Jane, another Aussie! There aren’t many, I’m afraid. Welcome to WdC I hope you enjoy the ride. I have two adult family members in Queensland. My daughter lives in Cairns and my son in Bloomfield, very remote. We’re in Perth, WA
I hope to read some of your portfolio when I have a chance. Please feel free to pop in and check out mine.
Cheers Sue
Nope, don't think I would do that. I have been to Niagara Falls and that water is so bloody strong and the drop!! No thank you!!! Beautiful to look at though.
I am a bit the same. Those movies you mentioned such as Saw and Chainsaw Massacre I couldn't watch those. However I love things like Monster series on Netflix and just watched The Ed Gein Story and loved it. Which is strange to say but I think for me the real life horror is more psychology type thing. Why are these people the way they are?
I flip flop back between do I believe people are born evil or is it their environment etc.
In Ed's case I think that his mother and father had mental issues which can be hereditary, so most likely he had mental issues when he was born and then his upbringing with parents, especially his mother manifested those mental issues. It maybe could have been different had his issues been picked up when he was younger and helped. He eventually was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Anyway, probably didn't want to read all that ha ha ha.
Our world is so dependent on the internet and electricity, it would be utter chaos and dangerous. I can't imagine hos much crime would take place in a world like that.
What was the best/worst letter or email you ever received or wrote? Write about the situation surrounding that letter, and why it was so significant.
I’ve never been one for sending momentous news by email they seem so impersonal. Much of my first few years after leaving home and learning to cope in my adopted country was spent writing to my Mum in England. Phone calls cost £1 per minute then so they were saved for special times like Christmas. I missed everyone and was gasping for news from home. Every Thursday I would drop a letter into the postbox and each Friday I’d get one from Mum. For years this went on and so much news went back and forth. The letter with the worst news was that my Grandma had died and I knew then I’d never see her again. The letter I sent with the best news was that I’d given birth to undiagnosed twins! I expect that would have been my parent’s most surprising and happy letter they received from me. That was back in 1973.
