48 hours of sheer horror

I finally saw it, IT'S SO AWESOME! Now this is how zombie stuff should be done! x3

I LOVE YOU CYBOTRON

I am as I write this, watching Lionel Atwill in The Mystery of the Wax Museum; this was the 1st of many films about mad sculptors who use humans as the basis for their life-like figures. Vincent Price took the role in the 1950s House of Wax, & an unknown had it in A Bucket of Blood. This will be the 4th time I have seen it, so I am not giving it my full attention. Hooray for PiP!

When my brother comes up this weekend, we will watch AMC's The Walking Dead, & whatever Hammer films he has yet to see. I love my DVR!

Well what did you think about the Walking Dead/ Was that great or what?

As stated above, I will watch it this weekend. I did watch a few horror films on AMC, & found that the RETURN TO HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL DID have some graphic content that I did not expect to see on AMC. So, my expectations for this series are a bit higher than at first.

Ok, my brother was off today because of rain & we saw SAW 3D. I FREELY ADMIT THAT I HAVE A WEIRD SENSE OF HUMOR, BUT I LAUGHED SO HARD i ALMOST HURT MYSELF. i RECALL ONLY ONE THING THAT RECENTLY MADE ME LAUGH HARDER; IT was Family guy, & Peter was doing a ballerina type dance or some other weird thing while naked. I thought I was having a stroke, as I saw lights floating around inside my eye. I know I have floaters, but they do not glow.

Then, we came home & found that though my DVR had apparently recorded the walking dead, it actually recorded 4 minutes only. COMCAST 'upgraded' the DVR software with TV GUIDE GUI (GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE) that really was an upgrade in name only. I have found that more than a few of my precious horror films were only partially recorded. A 90 minute film might run for 75 minutes. The slider bar at the bottom starts out:

"0<-|------------------------------>90"

but at about the 1/2 way point, if I should see it (by pausing or FFwding it, it might be:
"0<-----------------|--->75"

I am really angry about this, as the previous GUI had better features, & was easier to use. So now I have just now finished FFWDing through the rest of them to ensure they were intact. Sadly, I had to put a few more out of their misery.

A few months ago, I had a tech over & he installed new cable from the wall to the DVR, including a 2 way splitter so I can have both my cable 'modem' & DVR connected. I had been using a splitter whose manufacturer he said was no good. He had determined that some of the cables I had been using were leaking RF. I had also been using RADIO SHACK right-angle adapters to keep the cables neat, but these were leaking also. He said that this can cause problems with the DVRs, though I know of no problems with the cable modem.

Then, they upgraded the GUIs, & that is when the above-mentioned trouble started. Before the tech replaced the cables, the DVR had occasionally rebooted abruptly.

Watch Zombie Land if you haven't already, it's not much of a horror film, it's more like a funny horror movie with plenty of blood but it's still a pretty good movie.

I think I have that scheduled to record soon.

Oh, I almost forgot: I have found a true appreciation for William Castle's films. The last one I saw was HOMICIDAL, whose end revealed a girl who had been raised as a boy, in order to qualify for inheriting a fortune. While girls were not excluded by the will, there was an older girl from a previous marriage who was 1st in line. In a twist similar to that of PSYCHO, this girl, or young woman, played both the male she was presumed to be, & a homicidal woman, who always eluded the police. Sapphire would be horrified to learn of such behavior!

I finally watched the series, 1-5, I loved it! I just knew the guy handcuffed to the pipe on the roof would escape. I wonder what kind of vengeance he will take as the series progresses.

I cried when the sister died T.T

Yes, that was sad that the thing made the viewers identify with characters doomed to die. Other than that, it would have been pure fun.
