Just read issue 1 of @skybound.bsky.social β€˜s Phantom of the Opera comic by @tylerboss.bsky.social , @martinsimmonds.bsky.social & @beccasee.bsky.social . It’s a haunting and utterly gorgeous master class on creeping dread.

#TheLastDriveIn That was a blast even though I crashed for a little bit in the second movie. Good night fellow Mutants! See you next month.

The grounds of the former Eloise asylum in Michigan. Nothing happened to me but I interviewed someone who worked in a nearby hospital that had tunnels connected to it. There was a room in the tunnels for a clothing drive that was locked and everytime they opened it it was in disarray

#TheLastDriveIn So far the vibes I'm getting is "Clerks in a Haunted House."

#TheLastDriveIn I first became aware of Kelly McGillis as the Amish hottie in Witness, which was one of the first rated r films I saw in theaters.

#TheLastDriveIn I'm glad this was showed. I liked it before, but I dig it even more now. I feel like seeing it in '59 would have been terrifying in places.

Earlier Darcy mentioned Laura directed by Otto Preminger. And it just occurred to me that Preminger and Price were both on the '60s Batman #TheLastDriveIn

#TheLastDriveIn Deniro is 5'9. Joe Bob is 6'4 apparently if my quick google search is right. So maybe Joe Bob was talking about Deniro?

Yeah she's got a great noir vibe to her.
