Just flying in to check on your Halloween, Enny . . .

So far it's been lazy. I slept late.

You know, in my coffin.

Just flying in to check on your Halloween, Enny . . .

This is one of my favorite special effects.

 

[Endless_Night]

Speaking of special effects, The Howling (1981).

Possibly the best werewolf transformations ever? I can't think of any that compare. The movie was based on a book, of which I was unaware until a couple of years ago.

Settling in to watch.

There may, or may not, be commentary.

 

[Endless_Night]

The beginning, where she is in a room video room at the sex shop, and the serial killer that's obsessed with her is at her back, as yet unseen, forcing her to watch a nonconsensual sex scene, is . . . kinda terrifying.

SO MUCH TENSION

I’ve never seen this one. It seems difficult to find, at least to find a quality version.

It’s too late, Halloween is over , but let’s go out with a bang.

Someone sent me this awesome montage of the Universal Monsters and I love it.

I've seen it, but only once, I think, and it's been a couple of decades.

Huh. According to Wiki this was actually the first in a series of teenage monster films by American International Pictures.

This is wonderful! I recognized nearly all the shots. Some, like the close up of Boris Karloff as Ardath Bey and the paired swimming from Creature of the Black Lagoon are just so iconic.

The only one I didn't know was the . . . he almost looked like a pirate, with a skull face, dressed in red, and carrying a care with a skull top.

Can anyone shed some light, other old-horror aficionados?

Phantom of the Opera. When he shows up as Death at a costume party.

Thank you!

Out of all the Universal Monsters, he's the only one I'm not really familiar with. I think I've seen it once. I did manage recognized the black and white stills.

 

[hotwords229_A]

Although, I love the make-up of the Phantom, I can’t say I ever enjoyed the movies.

Same. Thoughts on why?

I'm not entirely sure. For me, I've rather wondered if it's the plot line. Almost Beauty and the Beast like, though Beast ends up with Beauty. (BatB isn't a movie that appeals, either.) Though I did experience great enjoyment in Maskerade by Terry Pratchett, which was a parody of Phantom and murder mysteries.

Pratchett is hit or miss for me. I love a couple of the storylines in his Discworld series, but the others are just meh. The Witches and The City Watch, however.

Long live Granny Weatherwax!

Too French.

I did enjoy Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge, though.

 

[Endless_Night]

Too French.

Ummm. Okay?

I did enjoy Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge, though.

On.
The.
Floor.

Ugh. Woke to no water this morning.

Normally, one would simply call the water company and a few hours later, voila! Out here, not so.

Ah, rural living.

Ah, rural living.

We live in the country and are on a well. So I get it.

 

[Endless_Night]

Update:

The drought strikes again! This time it's a crack at the pump. The usual, fantastic plumber, I know is on his way to a northern state. But that's okay! From the pictures sent he thinks a well service is the way to go.

Wheeeeee!

 

[investor2020]

Had a tree fall on the well casing up here once, but was able to get the company out within a day to pull all the flex pipe out and repair the full system . . . yes, the bane of living rural. . . . always have several gallon jugs stored just in case.

Upside?
At least the pump can be replaced relatively easy, as opposed to the well running dry and needed to be dug deeper?

I grew up with a well and septic tank—not fun when it goes bad.

 

[Endless_Night]

Upside?

That was sarcasm.

It shouldn't be a pump replacement. At least, I hope not. (). It's a crack in part of the exterior PVC between the reducer and the cap, just above ground at the . . . well head? Which is, apparently, a different type of PVC, threaded and such.

Two recommended companies. One is a no go until Monday. The other is a maaaaaaaaybe.

Stay tuned.

 

[hotwords229_A]

It’s sounding better.
Above ground, PVC, these are good words when it comes to well problems.

 

[Endless_Night]

I do. Just, for drinking, rather than otherwise.

Something I will be rectifying.

He says he's coming this afternoon!!! Now. If only he comes soon.

Before the rains starts.

Because, after two months of no rain, it's forecasted today.

*looks at overcast sky*

I am now wondering what he considers afternoon.
