Definitely a pleasure to start off the month

Definitely a pleasure to start off the month with Jim Steinmeyer on his book "Who Was Dracula? Bram Stoker's Trail Of Blood".’ Like those inflatable zebras in the pool, I say, thinking back to how the eye-popping stripes added even more verve to the party scene.Their workout partners are an odd collection, including a local high-school hopeful; Kerry Joseph, a quarterback for the Canadian Football League's Edmonton Eskimos; the University of Florida's new quarterback project, Chris Wilkes (most recently of Major League Baseball's San Diego Padres); the Denver cornerback Tony Carter; and Houston's new back-up running back, Greg Jones. And for those keeping track, a lot of Die, Monster, Die’s climax can be traced back to Karloff’s 1936 film, The Invisible Ray.While much of the film seems to be following the same, Wholesale Lingerie Wholesale Christmas Costumestired old family curse/haunted house path we’ve seen in so many other AIP and Hammer films, there are enough odd details along the way to keep interest up, and for once, unbelievable as it may seem, the payoff is worth it. Combine the two reigning kings of horror with a Poe story and it was clearthey had another franchise on their hands. Plus it has a great and telling last line.PureSexyCostumes. In F Scott Fitzgerald’s introspective novel, every utterance is weighed. But to be honest with you, the history of Dracula proves that he’s never needed very elaborate trappings. Her dreadlocked surfer-dude handyman disappears for weeks, only to come back looking as sleek as an otter because he has landed the job of Leo’s body double. Karloff’s entrance here is one of his best since Frankenstein, and it’s been noted that he was the first movie vampire who actually resembleed Bram Stoker’s description of dracula. It’s as terrifying a performance as any of his monsters or mad doctors, and the film itself, like all Lewton pictures, is rich, beautifully shot, and a little grimy. Presenting. I’m rather more taken by what Daisy gets as a grown-up.
