Do you have a 3D player?

No, but this was on sale as Best Buy, and with a gift card, I was able to get it for $6.00..so I wasnt going to pass it up on regular BD, especially with MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM and a commentary as extras. :)
DARK SHADOWS:

David Collins: "Dead people dont just get up and walk around.."

Sarah Collins: "Sometimes they do."

Hadn't heard of that one. I looked at some clips. Looks pretty interesting!

THIRTEEN WOMEN is a pretty neat little movie about an astrologer, who uses her ways to murder women who shunned her for being mixed back in the college days..

That's a good deal! I was hoping for a stand alone MYSTERY, someday, but I guess we won't get it.

That's another one!  Not to mention all the mix and match sets out there, that you don't know where to put, or find later.

Oh I am still furious about that. How such an undeniable classic has gone this long without a proper release, it enrages me. Why hasn't Criterion put an edition out? Or Arrow Films? SOMEBODY!?

Interesting tidbit about "13 Women ".......the film originally included an actress named Peg Entwistle. Her scenes were left on the cutting room floor however. This was the last straw for Poor Peg in her frustrated attempts to achieve stardom. So she devised another method to achieve the fame she craved.

She climbed up Mt Lee, where the Hollywood Sign is situated, and dove to her death from the letter "H".

Seems she was unlucky in love as well though...... her husband was named Robert Keith. It wasn't until after the marriage that she discovered that Old Bob, a raging alcoholic , was still married to his first wife, and that he also had a young son. He had managed to keep it all secret until he had married and bankrupted his new young wife.

Peg was devastated. Her excising from "13 Women" was truly the last straw among many for her. Her legendary swan dive seemed the only way out.

Final creepy trivia.....her surprise step son was named Brian. Brian Keith. Of "Family Affair" fame. Buffy, Jody, Mrs. Beasley, etc.   

The acting bug wasn't the only legacy Peg left to Brian. Brian's daughter would also join her grandmother in suicide, her last straw being a drug habit she just couldn't kick. And Brian's last straw was his futile battle against cancer and losing his beloved daughter. He killed himself with a revolver shortly after burying his daughter. Suicide became a Keith "Family Affair."

Another little known tidbit is that Mr. French went to heave himself off the Hollywood sign.  Except he just couldn't decide which "L" to leap from, deliberating for hours---all the while eating Russell Stover diabetic candy. He eventually shat himself with explosive diarrhea and just went home.

Is it the story of Scatter coming back to this site?

Such a saga could never be conveyed by such primitive means.

I love the word "shat".
