Day 15 of the BallyBOO circles back to Prof. Quatermass w/ the film that, IMO, was the template for what Nigel Kneale later reworked into Halloween III.

From 1957, it's the shocker that squares the Prof. against a terrifying alien plot. This is: QUATERMASS II or ENEMY FROM SPACE!

Appian Way Developing Biopic Of Young Bela Lugosi For Universal; β€˜Ed Wood’s Scott Alexander And Larry Karaszewski Scripting A new Bela Lugosi biopic from Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way is in development at Universal, from the writers of 'Ed Wood, we can report exclusively.

My two favorite screenwriters tackling the early years of my favorite Universal Monster actor.

Am I dying and someone already put in my Make-A-Wish?

I have that along with the 4k and the two disc special edition DVD from the early oughts.

The one I wish I still held onto was the Warner UCE Box that had the stenciled outer sleeve and the luggage tag. I'll have to look for another one eventually to restore the collections

Thankful folks like you still care about these treasures. Frankly my knowledge of exactly how Ninotchka went down is not as plentiful as say perhaps To Be Or Not To Be. Hence why I definitely wanna cover Ninotchka in the coming year so I myself can learn more ☺️
