They're just not what anyone would call classic movies. I'm not trying to do a marathon of the best. Just what I want to watch which is what Chrono's doing as well I'm sure.

Hammer movies were on the TV so much when I was growing up it was hard to miss them. My parents really never had an issue with me watching horror and most of my early horror memories are watching horror flicks with my folks. Mostly hammer, amicus, old ghost stories, that kind of thing.

I don't really like recommending movies to people, because everyone has their own tastes, but its a shame for any horror fan to miss out on a bit of hammer. Such a unique style, great acting, directing, atmosphere and familiar casts that make them a genre all of its own. Peter Cushing is and always will be the epitome of cool to me.

OMG!! Maybe that's why - LOL!!

Ya, Newb, like Billy says, "leave a tender moment alone".

It'll happen. Again, it's not that I'm avoiding them purposefully. I wish that they were streaming, though - Prior to this marathon I was watching the majority of my movies on Netflix Instant.

So I was pleased to see I can watch Vampyr off of YouTube.

Interview haters rejoice!

I don't think that the DVD will come in time for Tuesday so the option is spend money to rent it OR watch Bram Stoker's, which is on Netflix Instant streaming.

I think I'll go with the latter since I've been wanting to see that again anyway. I'll still send away for interview as long as it doesn't get in the way of other viewings.

I'm going to assume that that's OK with everybody. ::wink::

I may be able to join you after all on Tuesday. And, I own the DVD of Bram Stoker's Dracula! Are we still doing 7:00? Or, was that a one-time deal?
