I got a terrific unsolicited FB review for THE LAST MONSTERS.  Hope you don't mind my sharing.

Posted by Tim Williams.


Enjoying my new Kindle Fire, and today I read a two-act play, "The Last Monsters" by screenwriter, novelist, Hollywood publicist and Facebook Friend Michael B. Druxman. This mini-drama focuses on three great Hollywood Horror stars waiting in the wings to be called to appear in what amount to bit parts in the 1956 "B" thriller THE BLACK SLEEP--aged, frail recovered morphine addict Bela Lugosi, unknowingly on the verge of his death, grousing about his lower salary and a part without spoken lines; alcoholic Lon Chaney, Jr., fretting about getting his work in before he gets too drunk to perform and anxious about how the new Universal picture about his more famous father will depict his family; and the pragmatic, level-headed John Carradine, spouting Shakespeare and acting as referee between the other two, who don't exactly get along.

I was told once upon a time by another Facebook friend--correctly--that plays were meant to be seen performed and not simply "read" like books. But I found in the short time it took me to read this play that I had no trouble at all depicting the actual actors playing themselves--I could see their faces, and hear their unmistakable voices as I read, and experienced a deep sense of nostalgia in doing so.

It would be really wonderful, I think, to see this play performed by a really good cast, perhaps as part of an omnibus production with some of Druxman's other "Hollywood Legends" short plays. I think that would be an enjoyable evening...

Well, done, Michael!

Last night I continued down the anthology path with DR. TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS, Amicus's first venture for which DR Jrand68's very own SUBOTSKY! penned the stories. My UK Blu-ray includes a worthy hour-long documentary on the history and the inspirations for these tales. I found a couple of the segments a bit overlong for the material, but hey. The framing story with Cushing and Lee and the other gentlemen on the train is amusing.

It's wonderful to finally have the original release intact, as opposed to the weird DVD one(s) with the German main titles and video-sourced end credits. Unfortunately, that's mitigated by the transfer's infamous heavy application of DNR, the wiping out of all evidence of film grain, so there's still that video "sheen" to the proceedings.

Tonight, back to my original favorite, ASYLUM, which I haven't seen in a decade or so. It should be most interesting to view, now that I'm much more familiar with the other Amicus offerings.

Another cold night has passed, with Annabelle under the blankets asleep at my knees and Thatch curled up at my chest on top of them.  It limits my restless sleeping, but they seem to like it.

I'll work on How To Succeed . . . until around 4:00, then put it away and tidy my desk.  Tomorrow I begin a week of receipts, tallies, accounting.  Yes, it's IRS Hell!  And that's no Amicus anthology.   Welcome my horror.
