I think we can all agree that Scientology is the main inspiration. However, I'm refering to when Cooper Blascoe first started it in Northern California in '68 and it was just about money, women and drugs. Since first reading Crisscross I've learned of a religion... okay, cult... called The Family International or Children of God. Started in Huntington Beach, California (yeah, yeah, Southern California) in '68. They gain converts by Flirty Fishing (or FFing). Which is, they have sex with people to convert them. Which, I think, is what Blascoe would have wanted. :p

Or I could be completely off.

I've heard both yes and no answers before, but the other night i was cruising the information superhighway ( thats the internet for you youngins) and came across a couple sources ( which of ocurse I did not bookmark like a smart person would have) claiming that nightworld will be redone giving Jack a more pivotal role in the game.

I am all for this, as I am a jack fan above all else. And it would make sense given how much more detailed this universe has become over the last 11 books. So... Is it being tweaked, redone, or just plain left alone?

Before someone at Universal decides to pull it, someone has uploaded a whole bunch of great episodes of NIGHT GALLERY on youtube. I was able to watch my favorites: "Messiah Of Mott Street" Edward G. Robinson's final performance and a fitting last triumph, "Cool Air" from Lovecraft, "Pickman's Model", and "The Devil Is Not Mocked" with Frances Lederer back as the thirsty count (he starred in 58's "Return Of Dracula"). Lots more too!
Tune in and enjoy friends!!

Has anyone seen Phantasm? In a theatre?

I remember Phantasm, because I saw it in a theatre when I was a kid. It frightened me! Who the hell was that Tall Man?! And that silver ball with blades and drill! Ugh! That was ultimately scary! I can't see almost screen.

And now....

Finally DVD came out, and I saw it tonight again. 27 or 28 years later, now I thought I can see it perfectly, but even now I felt it scary, and creepy. When Mike cut Tall Man's fingers, yellow blood spewed! Ewwwww!!! I recalled nightmare...... :eek:

I recently had the chance to finally read "SIBS" and was pleasantly surprised by the minor tie-in with "Legacies". I always thought that scene in Legacies had to have some deeper meaning and now I know. These little tie-ins between books is the one of the main reasons I enjoy FPW's works. As for fix-its, that one he pulled with the house on 22nd (23rd?) has got to be one of the best.

Not as good as oil and tires of course but stellar nontheless....

[SIZE="3"]This popped up on You Tube. For those of you who haven't seen it, here was the ending of (I presume) Mann's original cut. It was also the ending shown on ABC's Movie of the Week. This one is more in line with the way the novel ended (though not so painfully drawn out).[/SIZE]

I think that the ladies with dogs are similar to Gaia, or Mother Earth. Think about it, a small group of immortal women with dogs, animals that are "man's best friend". Any thoughts?

Found this on YouTube. I remember "Monsters" well, the opening brought back some memories from my early pre-teen and teenage years. This and Fredy's Nightmares as well as Friday the 13th: The Series fueled my horror-lust in my formative years.

And it looks like...this!


Fitting that they're calling this "The Expanded Experience." Season 2 was subtitled "The Extended Experience," and Season 3 was "The Unexplored Experience."

I was personally hoping (read: expecting) this set to be red-themed, because of all the bloodshed going on this time around. Maybe Season 5?
