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.
Write about a fictional road trip where you meet up with your fellow competitors from the 30DBC! Who do you visit first? Do you bring any gifts? Tell us about the crazy blogger shenanigans you all get up to!
Well I honestly don’t like road trips. The long endless miles listening to the same songs over and over. Mind you the company one keeps makes a difference I suppose. I would need to be entertained and I think Mr. Waltz’s knowledge of all things diverse would fill in a few hours as we cross the Nullarbor. The Nullarbor, meaning place of no trees. Oh, yes didn’t I say we’re going on Highway One. This will send us all around Australia. But I must warn you there is plenty of nothingness between places of interest. QPdoll will keep us amused with her “why you say that” information and Kåre เลียม Enga’s knowledge of travel on a shoestring budget will surely help us too. We actually need a good cook, I’m not sure which of our 30 day blogging challengers would fit the bill. Please don’t depend on my culinary skills, cooking up a kangaroo or two is not in my skill set. However I’m sure a good time will be had by all. I’m actually starting to look forward to it.
