On August 1, 1986 "Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI" was released, and with it came one of the great horror tie-in tracks of the 80s by @alicecooper. I still have the original 45!

Remembering stalwart actor Don Murray on his birthday. Here he is on the day we filmed his interview for "Tab Hunter Confidential" back in 2012. In 2017, David Lynch coaxed him out of retirement for his final role in "Twin Peaks: The Return" where he played Kyle MacLachlan's boss Bushnell Mullins.

Today would have been Elizabeth Short’s 99th birthday. Dubbed The Black Dahlia by the press after her brutal 1947 murder, she became a symbol of the dark side of Hollywood. Here she's poses outside John Marshall High School in Los Feliz just a few months before her death. The case is still unsolved.

Happy birthday to Arianne Ulmer Cipes - daughter of legendary filmmaker Edgar G. Ulmer and his wife and collaborator, Shirley Ulmer. You can read about her efforts to preserve her father's legacy in in Noah Isenberg's riveting Edgar G. Ulmer: A Filmmaker at the Margins. @noahisenberg.bsky.social

Happy birthday to my brilliant friend and collaborator, Philip Harrison, who's working on a new doc about Jonathan Ned Katz, a quiet revolutionary whose work changed the way we understand LGBTQ+ history in America. Support the film with a tax-deductible contribution at www.doyouknowjnk.com.

Can't wait to see this.

Ozzy Osbourne and Michael McKean at the DVD audio commentary for "Little Nicky" back in 2000. RIP to the Prince of Darkness.
