We stare in horror at their once beautiful, now disfigured-by-fear faces, gloating in their torment, overdosing on schadenfreude as we watch them being subjugated, tortured and abused. We dine out on their disgrace, and get off on their shame. They are the screaming queens of cinema, glittering stars of yesteryear who descend into the nightmare [...]]]></description>

Starved for some decent (or even indecent) reading material, I recently picked up a weathered old paperback copy of The Tallulah Bankhead Murder Case by one of my favorite writers, George Baxt. Re-reading Tallulah&#8217;s wild exploits as a celebrity sleuth during the heyday of the McCarthy witch hunt (with cameos by Lillian Hellman and Patsy [...]]]></description>

[NOTE: On hiatus in New York, researching a new project. Therefore, for the time being, I am resurrecting another older piece, this one about The Lodger, which seems very apt now since the new movie version by David Ondaatje, starring Simon Baker and Hope Davis, below, opens today.]

Every Halloween some jack o&#8217;lantern out there on the internet comes up with a new list of his ten favorite horror movies. I thought I&#8217;d give it a shot and do the same. But I could not limit myself to merely ten titles. You try it! So I&#8217;ve decided on my 50 faves, arranged alphabetically [...]]]></description>

Today, a new DVD of The Picture of Dorian Gray, the fabled 1945 version starring Hurd Hatfield and a deliciously evil George Sanders, is being released by Warner Home Video. Besides offering a quality transfer, it includes a new audio commentary from film historian Steve Haberman and Angela Lansbury, who played Sibyl Vane, as well [...]]]></description>

I love it when you find something totally new that you did not even know existed. I just happened to be glancing at some DVDs for rent and noticed one starring handsome Tyrone Power: &#8220;Nightmare Alley&#8221;, directed by Edmund Goulding, also [...]]]></description>

Of all the fairy tales compiled by author Charles Perrault in his Mother Goose rhymes in 1697, it is â€œBluebeardâ€ that has lingered most gruesomely in our collective imagination. Three centuries later, the grisly tale of serial spousal murder continues to haunt and mystify new generations. And no wonder: this glimpse into a world [...]]]></description>
