Lucky bastard! Most people have to work all day and then go home to read comics and watch movies on their own time! ;D

I only wish it was as glamorous as that sounds!

It's still work right? Although it does sound as if you have a great job though. I still love Comic Books.

Monday night twin bill:

The Leech Woman 1959 Universal.
Brides of Dracula 1960 Universal/Hammer: The first time I saw this film, I was disappointed that Christopher Lee was not in it. However, the more I view it; the more I like it. The film has some excellent visuals, cast and dialogue. This film also features two of the most gorgeous Vampire Women to ever hit the silver screen: Andree Melly and Marie Deveruex.

Finally watched Abbott & Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde for the first time. Fun movie! And surprisingly atmospheric!

Yeah, but it ain't making widgets in a factory. ;)

Well, I wouldn't know anything about making widgets in a factory; in fact, it doesn't sound too appealing at all!  Working in a video or comic book store sounds alright to a Horror Film buff like myself. Although I can't complain about any of the job titles I've held. They've been very lucrative.

Tuesday night double feature:

The Evil of Frankenstein 1964 Universal/Hammer Films.
House of Wax 1953 Warner Bros.

Friday night Lon Chaney Special:

Shadows 1922.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame 1923.
He Who Gets Slapped 1924.

Starting to "gear up" for Halloween. Have a great weekend all.

Do they appreciate it or are they "meh"?

I find that it depends on their age. 40+ generally like it. Folks my age and younger don't really seem to care. Little kids are either slightly freaked out or completely into it and ask a ton of questions which is pretty awesome.

That's great that you're educating the young 'uns. We need to keep the Universal Monster legacy alive.

There's a young boy (about 7 or 8) that comes in with his dad now and then. His dad is a regular of ours and when his son comes in with him he gets to pick out a toy. As of late he's been trying to collect the set of Universal Monster ReAction figures by Funko. It's pretty cool.

That is music to my ears. A year ago, I ran into a nine year old boy and his mom at a comic book store. He had the DST Phantom of the Opera figure in his hand. The kid was so excited that it looked so much like Lon Chaney. I asked how he knew so much about such an old film and his mom said that that's all he watches. She told me that he dressed as Norman Bates (in "Mother" outfit) for Halloween. Wow!

The Mummy (1932) ...

And I also was reading Forry Aclerman's "The Frankenscience Monster," a great book about Karloff.
Beautiful moving, shifting colors!
