That's Hot (Sauce)

Ring My Bell
Paris Hilton

Today is National Taco Day...and in the immortal words of Paris Hilton "That's Hot"

See Paris imbibing in my favorite fast food chain Taco Bell. "Yes" I said The Bell is my favorite on the go thing to grab and eat. Fight me, or not.

However if I'm up for something that takes minimal preparation there's also my go to Home State on Hollywood Blvd. 

That's all.

"We're going to the fair,
To see a señorita
With a tacos in her hair"

BTS

Sissy Spacek
On The Set Of
"Carrie"

Let's kick off the week with a BTS (behind the scenes) photo of Sissy Spacek on the set of Brian DePalma's Carrie.

As you can see pig's blood becomes Sissy, as she is obviously between takes of the notorious prom scene.

Carrie is one of my favorite films and I will be attending the 50th Anniversary Screening of it this Saturday at Hollywood Forever Cemetery...can't wait!

Have a terrific week.

Carrie White Burns In Hell!!!

Bela Lugosi's Dead

Bela Lugosi
as
Dracula

It's the first Friday of October with 29 more days until Halloween! Here to start getting everyone in the mood is Bela Lugosi as Dracula in the 1931 movie. 

You're welcome...

"White on white translucent black capes

Back on the rack
Bela Lugosi's dead
The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box

Bela Lugosi's dead

Undead, undead, undead
Undead, undead, undead" - Bela Lugosi's Dead, Bauhaus

Michael's Musings

Like An Angel On A Balcony
Michael Shinafelt

"Afterglow in a distant row

The door is open and the lights are cold
The children come in here and they dare the ghost
Like a fire burning in a stone" - Angels On The Balcony, Blondie 

Hello October my favorite month of the year!

FYI I put threesomes on my resume so they know I work well with others

Been revisiting Murder House the first season of American Horror Story on Hulu. The show certainly started off strong, that's all.

Breaking News: Dog can't believe guy she hooked up with 10 years ago is now head of the FBI

Only 30 days until Halloween...!!! In case you didn't get it, "Yes" I love Halloween!

The fastest way to kill a good idea is asking too many people what they think about it

My BF asked me to start calling him daddy, so now when we argue I yell "You're not my real dad" think about it, but not too much

I may regret this decision but "Yes" I am seeing Verity on Friday. Hoping for something fun and escapist

Woman Crush of the Week - Speaking of Verity, Dakota Johnson who plays Lowen Ashleigh in it. This should be fun!

Also speaking of Verity Josh Hartnett is looking mighty DAF lately

Tis the season to watch John Carpenter's Halloween over and over again

I'm sure Kylie Jenner doesn't feel guilty on her private jet, your plastic straw is fine, the more you know...

Celebrating the first day of October doing yoga at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, how fitting

Hump Day & Chill

Elizabeth Montgomery
as
Lizzie Borden

"Lizzie Borden took an axe,
And gave her mother forty whacks;
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one." 

With all the buzz surrounding Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, of course the did she or didn't she kill her parents (personally I believe she did) legend has been in my consciousness.

For the record I turned off Monster after episode three, that's all you need to know about my thoughts on it. However I do remember seeing a much better telling of Lizzie's tale back in 1975 when Elizabeth Montgomery (Yes, Samantha Stevens from Bewitched) portrayed her in The Legend Of Lizzie Borden.

Which sits at an 81% on Rotten Tomatoes with specific praise going to Ms. Montgomery for her portrayal of Lizzie. 

No need for you to give someone forty whacks with an axe to enjoy this one. All you need to do is Hump Day & Chill!
