Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
"But most myths and legends have a basis somewhere in truth, and Sweeney Todd is no different. There really was a mad barber, he really did use a trapdoor..."

"Extensive, painstaking research by British author Peter Haining has shown this without a doubt. Todd’s life and exploits are not nearly as romantic as Sondheim would have us believe, but then who would pay to see a musical about a psychopathic mass murderer unless there was more to the story?"

Boo! Az judge convicts man of too-scary Halloween display

Boo! Az judge convicts man of too-scary Halloween display

Did the neighbors do him in? The neighbors complained sound and lighting effects that attracted too many visitors. Perhaps they thought the sounds were loud enough to wake the dead?

"PHOENIX - A Scottsdale man was convicted Monday of disturbing the peace and generating unreasonable noise by a municipal judge who found the man's home Halloween display was too loud and scary."

Nostalgia for the original TV Bewitched

FilmStew.com • Bewitched

I've read 2 reviews upbout this upcoming TV show made into movie; neither review thinks it's worth the popcorn.
The TV show was brilliant especially when Paul Lynde played Uncle Arthur.

It might be fun to collect some scathing quotes from reviews of this plonker of a re-make:

You can check out any time you like But you can never leave

Odd coincidences happen at random.
I had just finished playing with 2 Quizilla quizzes when I checked back to the Blogger Dashboard and saw an interesting blog title had just been updated.

The title Leave If You Can is a blog all about current events with links to various news stories. It includes:
* Headlines
*
Offbeat
*
Full Court Press
*
Interesting, Obituaries, and Quotes

It's an interesting current event blog that happened to catch my interest because the title reminded me of a favorite Eagles song.

Hotel California by The Eagles - Lyrics

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Music (Hotel California)

Salem Expecting Large 'Bewitched' Crowd

1010wins.com: Salem Expecting Large 'Bewitched' Crowd

"SALEM, Mass. (AP) -- Salem police say they're expecting a large crowd for Wednesday's dedication of a 'Bewitched' statue in Lappin Park.

The statue depicts Samantha Stevens, the fictional witch played by the late Elizabeth Montgomery in the popular 1960s sitcom.

Salem officials say it's all meant to be in fun and will hopefully drum up more tourism for the so-called 'Witch City.'"

SPIEGEL Surfs the Web: A Daily Dose of Dracula - International - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News

SPIEGEL Surfs the Web: A Daily Dose of Dracula - International - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News: "Blogs seem to be multiplying faster that rabbits on Watership Down these days. And while a number of them are worthless meanderings of uninteresting (and occasionally sick) minds, some are actually lots of fun. Like a new literary project which turns Bram Stoker's novel 'Dracula' into daily tidbits of darkness for your enjoyment -- or, as the Web site claims, 'Dracula published according to its own calendar. It is partly in the form of diary and appears partly as letters."

Dracula Blogged

Dracula Blogged

Draculablog launches

"This blog will publish Bram Stoker's Dracula for the next six months. Individual pieces of the novel will appear on the calendar dates indicated in the text, starting with Jonathan Harker's May 3rd Bistriz journal entry, and finishing up with November 6 and the final Note.

I'm planning on two categories of posts. First, and primarily, will be the novel's text. Secondarily I'll post about the novel, or reflections on this project."

First-time novelist from Michigan strikes it rich with saga on Dracula

Elizabeth Kostova used some unconventional ingredients from her own life -- a childhood spent listening to Dracula tales, a love of Balkan folk music and a passion for libraries -- to produce a debut novel that earned her a $2-million advance.

'The Historian,' which will hit stores June 14, spans five decades and nearly a dozen countries, following its characters on a life-and-death quest for the truth about the medieval ruler Vlad the Impaler and the Dracula myth he inspired.

Spinozzi said the novel's appeal lies in the enduring power of the Dracula legend, the dynamic relationships among the characters and Kostova's vivid descriptions of European locales.

The novel jumps around in place as well as time, taking readers from an American university town to Istanbul to remote villages in Hungary and Romania."

The Hilarious House of Frightenstein And The Wolfman Remembered

The Hilarious House of Frightenstein And The Wolfman Remembered
"Although a lot of youngsters in the United States grew up in the '70s listening to disc jockey Wolfman Jack, kids in Canada were being exposed to a different kind of rock 'n' roll Wolfman. This one ran radio station EECH in the bowels of Castle Frightenstein and dressed in baggy overalls, taking requests from Grizelda The Gourmet, Igor, Bwana Clyde Batty, Dr. Pet Vet, The Librarian and The Count.

The Hilarious House Of Frightenstein was a kids staple in this country for more than three decades. The show itself is hard to describe since it was such a bizarre hodgepodge of characters, loosely based on classic monsters and all acted out by the legendary Billy Van, who passed away a few years ago. There were only 126 original episodes, but thanks to the show's fast pace, rapid editing and cut 'n' paste structure, it never seemed to wear itself out and was constantly in syndication until just a few years ago."

Haunted hangouts-Arizona

Haunted hangouts
"Participants gather at 8 p.m. Saturday in the lobby of the Hotel San Carlos (202 N. Central Ave.), a spirited lodge in downtown Phoenix. There they will meet the tour guides, and perhaps the ghost of Leone Jensen, an actress who killed herself during a 1928 stay at the hotel. Perhaps guests will experience the cold chill of a passing specter, or it may just be air-conditioning cranking up. If you hear a disembodied 'Bwa-ha-ha-ha,' it may very well be the former. "
