The Liberty Pub - Halloween Edition - OPEN #2



Tomorrow is Halloween! C2 has been celebrating all this week, by introducing liberty pub posts with a fun, scary Halloween classic!

This video is a black-and-white student film from 1982, based on an original poem by the student. Since the poem mentioned Vincent Price, and the student was working for Disney at the time, some connections and arrangements were made to get Vincent Price himself to do the narration.

Whatever happened to that film student? He's doing quite well - his name is Tim Burton. The film is called Vincent.

  12. The most scary movie ever ... my sister was 17 and 10 years older than me ... she had to babysit me all the time (which I am sure she hated but big families hahahaha ... Catholics what can you say) ... anyway ... she and her friends hid me and a couple of other people in the trunk and we went to a drive-in to see Night of the Living Dead ...

    scared the crap out of me for decades ... gotta love your siblings right? ...

    ReplyDelete
  17. Hey OR - you asked way earlier today in what year I've spent my time visiting Argentina. It was in 1987 to 1988.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Bambi, keep 'em in line for a few minutes, mmk?

    I gotta get those heavy boxes out back moved.

    /Squatch! Can I get your assistance, pretty please?

    ReplyDelete
  19. z(+) -- I remember seeing that in the theaters as well -- I was very young (probably seven or so)... Scared the crap out of me as well...

    ReplyDelete
  20. zigzag, how are you doing? I think Texas Chainsaw got to me more than any of them and I was a grown woman! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  21. Will do, sis. Be careful out there. Don't do anything I wouldn't do. ; )

    ReplyDelete
  22. And by that I mean lift anything over twenty pounds! : )

    ReplyDelete
  23. BWBi -- and it is such a "clean" movie, there is really very little that need be cut for TV, so you get to see pretty much the entire movie, albeit with commercial interruptions...

    ReplyDelete
  24. I gotta get those heavy boxes out back moved.

    *moonwalks out the back door*

    ReplyDelete
  25. PBJ .. I am okay ... dealing with some rage these last few days ... but I will work through it .. being the bitter clinger I am it may involved some time at the nearest shooting range ... lol ... another movie my sis took me to was the Haunting that really scared me ...

    ReplyDelete
  26. Thanks, Cal. At the time, Argentina was *relatively* stable... But still problematic.
    Say, how easily can you distinguish an Argie accent from Uruguyan? It's still hard for me.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Young Frankenstein is perfect, Bambi!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I love that horse's whinney all the time..."Frau Blucher!" Hahahahahahahaha! Here, we substitute it with "Helen Thomas!"

    ReplyDelete
  29. Ever seen a Squatch do the moonwalk?
    Here you go:
    Squatch,
    *moonwalks out the back door*

  30. Cal, I lived in Peru in the same period. Argentina was 1st World to us!

  37. If you're into Young Frankenstein, go the the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com) and check out the trivia for it -- fascinating!

  38. ziggy

    scared the crap out of me for decades ... gotta love your siblings right? ...

    When I was very little, about 5 or 6, I woke up and had to get out of bed to tinkle. As I swung my sleepy little feets out of bed and onto the floor, my ankles were grabbed by my evil older sister who was hiding under the bed waiting - like a spider.

    It took me many, many terrified years to finally NOT make a running leap to me bed from the hallway.

    *shudder*

    ReplyDelete
  39. z(+) -- no doubt! I was shocked -- shocked I tells ya! -- at how muffled things were with the ear-muffs they made us wear but once I got inside, I was damn glad I had 'em...

    ReplyDelete
  40. *gasp*

    Ok, I'm back Bambi.

    Phew!

    /really heavy boxes!

    Foghorn Leghorn? Hmmmmmmm ... ah say ...hmmmmmm ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Hmmmmm...Brandy sure is taking a long time with those boxes.

    ReplyDelete
  42. OR, nothing really as I finally have some ammo. They closed my favorite little indoor range but there is one in Burbank, I discovered. I really must check it out.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Say, how easily can you distinguish an Argie accent from Uruguyan? It's still hard for me.
    ---

    I cannot very well. I only really lived in Argentina up to when I was 7. Then again for that year in the 80s in my mid-twenties. My Castellano is not the best to put it mildly.
    My best second language is English by far.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Oh THERE you are! Hmmmmmmmmm...I say....hmmmmmmmmmmm!!! LOL LOL

    ReplyDelete
  45. BWBi - he likes him? Somebody needs to ask O'Shithead how he likes what Obama's doing to the nation...

    ReplyDelete
  46. As I swung my sleepy little feets out of bed and onto the floor, my ankles were grabbed by my evil older sister who was hiding under the bed waiting - like a spider.

  47. Hey, you know what I want to watch after this? Foghorn Leghorn! Anybody else into Foghorn Leghorn? : )

    That is one big softball you just threw out there.
    I'm not gonna swing at that one.

    ReplyDelete
  48. O'Reilly showed his colors during the campaign when he bent over and wiped the white off his chin when he was trying to get Obama for an interview ... sorry to be so mean but that is how I see it ...

    ReplyDelete
  49. Hmmmmm...Brandy sure is taking a long time with those boxes.

    Mental twins, I told ya! :-)

  50. That is one big softball you just threw out there.

    1. It is?
    2. You're not?

    ReplyDelete
  51. BWBi - he likes him? Somebody needs to ask O'Shithead how he likes what Obama's doing to the nation...

    Maybe he feels kinship with him because they're both narcissistic gasbags!

    I'm surprised to have any energy left to lift it, much less swing it, you big lug!

    ReplyDelete
  55. O'Reilly also jumped on the anti-Big-Oil bandwagon when gas prices rose, as if price fluctuations were a function of Big Oil trying to gouge consumers.

    He's a populist asshat preening for an MSM job he'll never get...

    ReplyDelete
  56. Brandy

    I would have spent years plotting my revenge! LOL!

    I thought of that but since I have six of the little rotters, I could never keep up.

    Yeesh.

    ReplyDelete
  57. O'Reilly loves ratings.
    I'll try to catch it when Dennis Miller is on once in a while.

    Wanna get an e-mail on his show ?
    Just tell him how much you love his books, it's gold.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Miss Trixie ... I feel for ya ... I slept with the covers over my head for years ... I hate to admit for how long .... lol ...

  59. BRANDY! Hahahaha...check this out! Just like when we were kids. : )

    Was that supposed to be leghorn, sis?

  60. I'm surprised to have any energy left to lift it, much less swing it, you big lug!

    ReplyDelete
  75. OR -- You're a DC guy, I'm trying to remember the name of the DC bar that has all those beers -- I'm thinking Brickskellars -- is that right?

  108. BWBi -- ha! I got on an airplane in New Oreans once with a garment bag, and the stewardess asked if she could take my bag. I said, "Thanks, but I left her in Florida."

    ReplyDelete
  109. It's Foghorn Leghorn, my favorite! Hmmmmmmmmm...ah say...hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

    ReplyDelete
  110. BWBi -- scratch that -- she asked if she could "hang" my bag...

    ReplyDelete
  111. Hahahahaha CtheP! Did the stewardess laugh???

    ReplyDelete
  112. Evening mates, Foghorn was one of my favs along with Yosimite Sam, and there was another one with "El Kabong" that I loved for some reason....

    ReplyDelete
  123. LoFlyer ... I have to laugh every time I see your nic anywhere ... you were the first I ever saw to go and said WTF ... I loved your pirate stuff ...

    ReplyDelete
  124. Brandy, make mine grog and lots of it. I got a smashed knee that needs numbing!

  125. LoFlyer, I'm the blonde, she's the brunette...otherwise we're very similar! Well, she's more innocent than I am, probably. : )

  127. BWBi -- ha! I got on an airplane in New Oreans once with a garment bag, and the stewardess asked if she could take my bag. I said, "Thanks, but I left her in Florida."

    Heh. That's a serious answer on Iranian Airlines.

    ReplyDelete
  128. LoFlyer -- that's what I said! (though in not quite the same words...

  131. Zigzag, I saw it coming three months before I got canned, I cannot abide with a discussion controlled by ideology correctness. Let's leave it at that and look forward, I think I spy a drink now....Harrgh!

    ReplyDelete
  132. Do you disagree, sis? ; )

    ReplyDelete
  133. Squatch -- pretty much. Given Obama's seeming affection for Iran, perhaps the change he's seeking is retro, neandertals that they are over there (at least the gov't)...

    ReplyDelete
  134. Heh. That's a serious answer on Iranian Airlines.

    Good point! LOL
