TOD

DVD:
"The Card" (1952) with Alec Guinness
"The Raven" (1962) with Vincent Price

Blu-ray
"Love is a Many Splendored Thing"

CD
Nothing (again) Truth is, I've collected so many CDs/LPs over the years and have so much to listen to, that I'm reluctant to add more unless it's my favorite trio, Rozsa, Newman or Herrmann. Added to which, since retiring, I'd soon be broke if I bought everything of interest!

Okay, now some Poe.

I especially loved Lancer books. They had the most special feel and smell, and these copies still retain a hint of that!

(Woops. Oh dear. I trust I'm not the only book smeller here!!? Don't have me put away. I'm not dangerous. I swear it!)

This is the paperback that got me in trouble in high school. I was in my regular study hall seat for some kind of standardized testing. I raced through each section of the test so I could read. Eventually, the teacher monitoring the test suggested that I put the book away and review my work on the exam.

They never published a tie-in for HOUSE OF USHER.

Which reminds me, I don't think they ever released a soundtrack LP for USHER -- in spite of the teaser for it at the end of the film. Am I wrong, though?

DR Ginny, I got caught reading far worse than GONE WITH THE WIND -- in regular classes, too, never mind study hall!

And yes, HOT PANTS HOMO really does need to be in my book collection.

I thought it was a publication of your dreams diary!

And who says it is not.

Teachers. They just don't have their priorities straight.

I can see why DR John G. was asked NOT to bring that book in to his parochial grade school!

MBarnum · « **Reply #75 on:** July 19, 2013, 09:17:37 AM »

Those are some mighty fine paperback books, DR ChasSmith! I love that you collected them.

These are all wonderful. Love the FLUFF one. (A SHATTERING NEW NOVEL)

Yeah, didn't she notice that I was reading, for those days, an EXPENSIVE paperback?

PREMATURE BURIAL was my first introduction to Ray Milland, believe it or not.
Following that, I was crazy about these:

That one on the left is, of course, PANIC IN YEAR ZERO. I forget what the deal was with the titles.

I had forgotten it was on PBS, or I would have posted a reminder, but it looks like my DVR last night taped
From Broadway With Love: A Benefit Concert for Sandy Hook

The rundown of performances is here:

I love the Corman tie-in paperbacks. I usually bought the comic books - I had....HAD....Master of the World and, I think, The Masque of the Red Death....I remember the panels of Death walking through the different colored rooms.

I also have that DEAD RINGER paperback, but none of the others. Yes, Lancer Books were interesting...they almost always kept their square shape better than others.....not sure why.

My TZ books came from the regular Random House book club....I think they were alternate selections at $1.99 each...BIG $$$ for someone who earned 50 cents an hour doing babysitting and mowing lawns.
