Heck, I’ll even be there… but don’t let that keep you away.
Stephen King: “Best Horror Series Ever”
Quick – What’s the best horror series ever put on television?
My guess is that many of you immediately thought of The Twilight Zone [not only horror, but did have some scary episodes], The Outer Limits [Twilight Zoneish], The Invaders, The Night Gallery… and so on.
But… how many of you immediately thought of Thriller?
Stephen King did. In fact King described Thriller as…
“…probably the best horror series ever put on TV.”
Classic Film and TV provides a nice overview of Thriller with links to additional information. If you’ve read this far, you’d probably enjoy clicking over.

“A Walk Among the Tombstones”
The Walk Among the Tombstones film is based on Lawrence Block’s best selling novel. If it is half as good as novel, we’re in for a treat.

15 Interesting Facts: “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”
For me, it is easier to believe all of the 15 Facts About Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade that are so Fascinating They Belong in a Museum than it is to believe that movie is 25 years old this year.
Gary Myrick: Courtroom Sketch Artist
Courtroom Sketch Artist is a short documentary that documents the rise and fall of a very talented artist named Gary Myrick.
To be blessed with such hard-earned talent and no outlet must be maddening… and unfortunately too many artists face this.
10 Best Monster Movies of All Time
Recently Variety posted a piece by Maane Khatchatourian titled 10 Best Monster Movies of All Time.
So, let’s take a look at her list…
- Alien: is an excellent horror movie which basically takes the haunted house concept and moves it to outer space. While Alien would make many folks’ top ten, I prefer Aliens.
- Jurassic Park: was a lot of fun. It doesn’t quickly spring to mind when I think of monster movies, but okay, let’s include it… probably not in the top ten though.
- Godzilla: Although I’ve seen most of the Godzilla movies [including the most recent version], none would make my 10 Best Monster Movies of All Time list.
- Jaws: is a great movie, but it is also one that doesn’t spring to mind when I think of Monster Movies. If we agree Jaws is a monster movie it would be easy to argue it deserves a spot in the top ten.
- Bride of Frankenstein and Frankenstein: are two that we cannot deny entry into the top 10 [especially since we’re allowed to pair them!].
- Creature from the Black Lagoon: not only makes the top ten, we could argue over whether it deserves the number one spot [and I wouldn’t argue too hard against that].
- Gremlins: probably wouldn’t crack my top 50.
- King Kong: has to be on anyone’s list of best monster movies!
- The Thing: of course has to make the list. I suggest we pair it with the original Thing from Another World [which also needs to make the list].
- The Fly: is one that I enjoy, but even pairing it with the remake probably wouldn’t get them into 10 Best Monster Movies of All Time list.
How could these monster movies be left off:
- Them!
- Dracula
- Invasion of the Body Snatchers
- War of the Worlds
- The Blob
- Night of the Living Dead
- and so many others?
