The scariest thing? The skeleton has a nose.

That’s the book’s host looking through the window. Apparently he likes to watch.

    "Hey, there's a skeleton with a glowing noose coming right for you. Good thing you didn't touch this magazine or you'd be in real trouble."

    That is an oddly large nasal bone.

    Anyway, you know what they say: no noose is good noose.

    Look, if you no longer need my dog walking services, just say so. No need to get so melodramatic about it.

  • Let's be honest: ALL the Horror hosts liked to watch. The EC Comics crew giggled about it.

    Recent blue-ray viewings are two more Fritz Lang silents–"Spies" and the first bit or so of "The Spiders."
    Could've sworn Ken reviewed these already, but never mind. Recently cheap from Kino-Lorber.
    "Spies" is really great, continuing the naturalistic acting I'd come to appreciate from "Woman in the Moon" (whose star is the lead female here). Rudolph Klein-Rogge, the main villain, is restrained and menacing (in VAST contrast to his role in Metropolis). There's a spectacular train crash sequence and the whole thing is very engaging (which for a 2.5 hour film is a plus). The lead for the anti-spy division milks enough cows for a vast dairy farm, and is pretty stupid for a chief, but otherwise the film is worth your time.
    "The Spiders" seems sourced from a non-pristine print, but I'll let you know how it plays out.
