Classic horror film, to me, still means THE INNOCENTS with Deborah Kerr.

There was some warning from space movie from the 50s about these kids at Cape Canaveral who discovered this throbbing creature.......... wait maybe that was a different kind of movie.....  no, no, it was called Cape Canaveral Monsters or something like that.  I had nightmares for weeks with that one  I could never figure out what was supposed to be scary about James Arness in THE THING.

Alfred Hitchcock Hour was hosted by Alfred Hitchcock. It was an anthology television series that features mysteries and melodramas. The original version Alfred Hitchcock Presents was launched on October 2, 1955.

It was originally a half an hour show but was later extended to a full hour show and even re-titled The Alfred Hitchcock Hour. The finale episode of the show was aired on June 26, 1962. But even it has its finale season; it continues to be popular for decades.

Alfred Hitchcock Hour’s episodes were characterized by suspense and surprise endings. In each episode, viewers will be strung and will continuously think of the final twist.

That sounds like THE SPACE CHILDREN starring Peggy Webber, Adam Williams, a bunch a kids, and a giant brain thing in a cave on the beach.

GHOST STORY was an okay movie, but the book was the most frightening thing I have ever read.

I advise renting a car unless you don't drive.

You advise a visiting New Yorker to rent a car in Metro LA ???

I'd stick with Mass Transit and Taxis.

Edisaurus, the Wilshire Dunes looks swell...and free parking is a plus! Hmmm.....

But the Kawada Hotel is only 3 blocks from Little Tokyo and and New Otami Hotel seems quite luxurious and not very expensive...$119 on weekdays and $ 84 on the weekend.

Leslie Caron takes a swing at an Emmy!

Quote
COMEBACK DEPT.
GIGI IN JERSEY
by Kate Taylor
Issue of 2006-08-28
Posted 2006-08-21

The actress Leslie Caron, whom Gene Kelly plucked, in 1948, when she was seventeen, from the Ballets des Champs-Elysées and then shipped to Hollywood, where she pirouetted and pouted her way through several M-G-M classics, has grown accustomed, in recent years, to the silence of her telephone. “I was absolutely convinced that I couldn’t act anymore,” she said not long ago. “I thought, I’m this old Gigi and Lili, and I suppose I can’t pretend anymore. Nobody’s going to hire me.”

But, recently, the call came, summoning her from her Paris home—not to Hollywood but to North Bergen, New Jersey, where the TV crime drama “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” is filmed. A tiny woman with high cheekbones, Caron was on the set the other day, sitting for the show’s hair stylist. She conveyed dignity and a slight hauteur, even in a T-shirt that read “Boston” in bright bubble letters. Over the loud hum of a hair dryer, she recalled receiving urgent messages from her agent between trips to Burgundy, where she runs an inn, and Sardinia, where she is building a cottage.

In the episode in which Caron appears, which will air in October, she plays a French émigrée whom the S.V.U. detectives persuade to testify against the man who raped her forty years earlier. Two of the show’s executive producers, Neal Baer and Ted Kotcheff, had secured Caron a visa in a mere two weeks. (“We called senators’ offices!” Baer said.) But to most of the crew Caron’s presence didn’t exactly constitute a celebrity sighting. “Now, T-Bone,” Juan Campanella, the episode’s director, said to a skinny P.A., “this weekend you’re renting ‘An American in Paris,’ so you can see what this lady can do.”

Those who did recognize Caron treated her with exaggerated deference. “She looks great, doesn’t she?” Kotcheff, who is himself seventy-five, said. “I fell madly in love with her when she was in ‘Gigi.’ ” He crooned, “The song of love is a sad song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo.”

“That’s ‘Lili,’ ” Campanella said. “ ‘Gigi’ is ‘Thank heaven for little girls.’ ”

“Ha! You couldn’t sing that song these days,” Kotcheff said. “They’d arrest you immediately!”

In between scenes, Caron came over to where Campanella was sitting and thanked him for his guidance. “I used to get so upset with Jim Ivory,” she said. “He’s so respectful of actors that he doesn’t give you any direction! He says, ‘How do you want to play this, dahling?’ And you think, Christ, he doesn’t know what he’s doing!” Kotcheff and Campanella laughed. “I really prefer,” she concluded, “for the director to do very pointilliste work with me.”

Caron returned to the set to do a scene with Connie Nielsen. The writers had decided that Nielsen should interview Caron’s character in French. The lines were written in English; the women translated them on the spot. When the scene was over, Campanella sat back in his chair, visibly moved, and said, “I didn’t understand a word, but she was wonderful.”

I found THE UNLOCKED WINDOW on a homegrown DVD - that had the "new" version of it as well....which just helped one realize how good the original b/w hour version is!

Creepy.
