Happy Birthday to Jinx!

-
Today is my birthday. I'm thirty sodding five. This displeases me. However, I do share this birthday with:


Mother Theresa



Pee Wee Herman

Ed Gein

I like this odd mix of people. It suits me.
If anyone wants me I shall under the duvet crying, cursing God and clutching a bottle of whiskey.

    I KNEW you were slightly younger than me, damn you!
    If it's any consolation, I'm thirty sodding seven, and share my birthday with John Taylor from Duran Duran.

    Many happy returns to my FAVOURITE horror blogger!

    Happy birthday to Jinx, from someone who's older than all of yas!

    As far as I know, the only noteworthy thing about my birthday is the Nazi Germany formally surrendered on that day in 1945. (Then again, I've never bothered to research it.)

    Happy Birthday, Kitty Kapow! As your most trusty of boy-ward sidekicks, I shall defend the fair city from evildoers and ne'er-do-wells as you try to find the answers to your social crises at the bottom of a bottle.

    Keep ya chin up, girl! I'm looking forward to another year of awesomeness from you! Boy Monster... AWAY!

    Happy belated birthday! I don't know how proud I would be of the Ed Gein thing... unless you're a freak like he was.

Rentaghost

The Rentaghost cast When I was young Rentaghost was my absolute favourite show ever Once, when I was about seven, in an attempt to integrate me, my mother suggested I join the Brownies; the idea was met with scorn and derision largely because the Brownies swarmed (I’m assuming that’s what Brownies do) on a Rentaghost night, and they sucked, and dressed like tiny poos, and they sucked. It turned out later that I just wasn’t a naturally inclined participator in group activities. Needless to say I didn’t have a lot of friends as youngster, but then there are also no childhood pictures of me dressed like a chubby, redheaded turd at a jamboree somewhere, so take that, Brownies, who’s big and clever now?! Rentaghost was a British children's television comedy programme broadcast on the BBC between 1976 and 1984 and revolved around a company, 'Rentaghost', which hired out ghosts for a variety of potentially hilarious jobs and purposes. The first series of Rentaghost saw th...

Clive Barker's Coldheart Canyon: A Hollywood Ghost Story

I have issues with Clive Barker. In theory I should love him, the gore factor, the homoeroticism, the 80s, etc., but somehow I find his books inherently forgettable and that annoys me because I really want to love him and he insists on making that so hard for me. I keep being surprised by books of his, they jump out at me from nowhere and I discover I’ve read them and just couldn’t remember a damn thing about them. (Actually the reason CB keeps cropping up in my house at the moment is that my husband has suddenly developed something of a big boy crush on him and his novels keep dropping through my letterbox with alarming regularity and startling me with their familiarity). When I read the blurb about Coldheart Canyon I thought that it was going to be right up my street: A Hollywood Ghost Story, it promised me, I love old Hollywood, I love ghost stories, this has to be the Clive Barker book for me! Also, one irate Amazon reviewer described it as: ‘far from what I would call horro...

Horrific Beards I Have Known and Loved

Kurt Russell R.J. MacReady The Thing (1982)   I’m fairly certain that it’s widely agreed upon and that I can speak on behalf of everyone everywhere when I say that The Thing is awesome. I’m also confident that few people will disagree when I say that Kurt Russell in The Thing is awesome. But, despite the inarguable awesomeness of Mr. Russell, there is still one who monumentally and heroically overshadows even him, one who is the true star of The Thing, and that star is, of course, Kurt Russell’s beard! As helicopter pilot R.J. MacReady, Kurt Russell, or more specifically Kurt Russell’s beard, is stationed at U.S. Outpost 31 in the Antarctic when all manner of alien skulduggery kicks off and it seems apparent to me that it was the beard who was running this show. Although part of a twelve man crew, MacReady is something of the brooding loner and prefers to spend his time alone in his cabin playing computer chess and cultivating an alcohol problem. Despite this, and a genera...
