    I've been under the weather, so I called out of work today. My wife and I have been taking it easy watching movies. I binged a few X FILES episodes, watched a documentary on Al Adamson and now I'm watching my hero, Christopher Lee in DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE.

    Nosferatu - Blue Öyster Cult
    Godzilla - Blue Öyster Cult
    Joan Crawford - Blue Öyster Cult
    Minnie the Moocher - Cab Calloway
    Hammer Horror - Kate Bush
    The Day The Earth Stood Still - Wille Nile
    Zombie Zoo - Tom Petty
    Pet Sematary - The Ramones
    Boris the Spider - The Who
    The War of the Worlds (Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of)
    Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner - Warren Zevon
    Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon
    Nice playlist. Forgot about that Kate Bush track. Definitely need to get some Ramones. That Cab Calloway clip was great.

    Couldn't decide on a movie to watch so just continued with American Horror Story season 12, which I'm not quite enjoying as much as earlier seasons but it passes the time alright.

    I picked a few things to watch yesterday, mostly as part of some ongoing 'retrospectives':
    - Halloween Kills (the extended cut)
    The film has grown on me since its release. Pretty good.
    - Fright Night 2: New Blood
    Nothing to boast of. Re-tells the story of the original Fright Night and its reboot. Has zero links with its predecessor despite the number 2 in the title. One of those cheapies filmed in Romania to save costs and whatnot. Could have been spiced up a little, though. Harmless, but not particularly memorable either. I like the lead vampire but this film's Peter Vincent was a letdown.
    - Maniac Cop 2
    Part 2 of William Lustig's rather interesting semi-slasher trilogy, especially good for some midnight entertainment. I'm having a lot of fun seeing these Maniac Cop films again. They are far from perfect, and not remotely as well-made as Lustig's other classic, confusingly titled 'Maniac', but they keep me intrigued nevertheless.
