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.
It’s three am. I can’t sleep. We’ve spent all day trying to locate our mentally ill daughter. She’s in Cairns FarNorth Queensland somewhere. She left rehab with just the clothes she was wearing, didn’t take her medication with her and nothing else. We informed the Cairns police and they have been trying to find her, I’m not sure how hard they tried because we’ve located her in the ER at the hospital. She won’t speak to us but apparently has no idea how she got there. We’ve begged the hospital to hold on to her until we can get a psychiatric team to assess her. This is impossible from 4000 kilometres away. We don’t even know if she’s imjured. We have no jurisdiction over her at her age. Waiting until morning to all the hospital again.
I’m upset, frustrated and angry. Our daughter in rehab has just told us she is sick of being treated like a child and because she refused to be breathalysed she has been asked to leave rehab after three weeks into a twelve week programme. She has no money, is four thousand kilometres away from us and knows no one there. We asked her what her plans were. Where is she going when she leaves there? She just said “I’m blocking your phone number, you’re not helping.”
I’ve blocked her number.
