CAR 54, WHERE ARE YOU?

If you were to put a list of BEST TV SERIES COMEDIES, this would have to be high at the top of the list :)  Modern comedies are nowhere near this funny or creative.

HALLOWEEN is coming!

Still have a few books ....

DRACULA, PRINCE OF DARKNESS

My DRACULA, PRINCE OF DARKNESS blu ray came from AMAZON yesterday and I must say...it was a pleasant surprise!  The collector's cards are cool, the film is better than I remembered (with an amazing transfer) and it had a very good documentary and original trailer (cool lettering graphics only).  A perfect cast and an engaging story.  The "ritual" scene was shocking and gory (which they talk about in the documentary) BUT overall the film is a very good sequel to the the original (which has always been one of my favorites).  I hope STUDIO CANAL soon issues many more HAMMER films including the original DRACULA with the extra footage they found from a JAPANESE print.  Love it!

Hey Bat Fans!
To all of you who’ve been asking: I'm pleased to announce that I’ve just signed a licensing agreement with Warner Brothers so expect to see Batgirl toys etc. on the market in the very near future. I look forward to seeing what they make.
Best Bat Wishes!
