Special announcement

Frankenstein's Fun House has gone to Tumblr.

Don't fret if you don't have an account there. It's very simple to set up, blogging is fun and easy, you can share posts, favorite them; all kinds of neat stuff. You don't even need to join if it doesn't suit you. I just prefer Tumblr's format. This is not to say I'm getting rid of this blog. I may still post here, but Tumlr will be updated much more.

As you can see, it's much prettier than Blogger. And as usual, Justin created everything.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Internet...

I'll likely be losing my Internet connection shortly. I hope to have it back as soon as possible.

Upcoming stuff

Too long without posting...

Justin wants you nice people to join up with his forum, http://exmk.net/forum/.

I'll fix the labels sometime soon too. And I'm thinking of changing the font to COURIER. I just love the typewriter/vintage look.

New links will be added. The link list will be sorted as well.

And, as a reminder, you're welcome to add me on Myspace, where I'm listed as Regan Karloff. Or whatever suits me that day. In general, I don't care for Myspace. It's addictive and not very useful. But not without it's good points. It's the only place where I can reach some friends. I was looking for someone in particular on the internet with no luck in finding a place to email them. They found me through Myspace. Pretty cool.

Justin has added some awesome high quality pictures to the EXMK gallery; classic Hollywood stars and movies.

More soon!

Randomness about me and what I should be doing

I should really be cleaning. To Hell with that. It's storming out. Time to stare out the window and breathe deep. Lovely smell of rain. Doesn't get better than that for me. My friends on the other side of this little world have dozed off. Not much to keep me awake. Cool and dark. I'll finish up as I think the Lighting is coming.

All right, it calmed down a bit. I should be cleaning or knitting. Doing something productive... But, I tell ya, it seems easier to write than work right now.

So. Now randomness about me. Fascinating, huh?!

I'm obsessed with punctuation. Do you really need an apostrophe..., here? I have no time to read the dictionary right now. I r super busy. I'm up to "C" though.

I really need to run to the drugstore, but I'll not be bothered to. I feel like I have a head cold. You know that smell you get when you have a head cold? I have that. I've been using my Neti pot wrong. I Googled it and I'm getting the hang of things now. I'm just doodling. Here, in words, and on paper, as is more common. Damn apostrophes...

My quirks... Well, here I'm interviewing myself about my oddities. That's #1. My hair is absolutely hopeless. I hate country music with the exception of Johnny Cash. I loath clothes shopping. Trying stuff on is pure torture. Love having the junk once I bring it home though. I'm reading at least 6 books at the moment.

I could not make the fucking comp put movies on dvd so I could watch them. Somebody help me, plz. Nero is driving me crazy. If you can help, and I know you from around here in blog world, and you have Yahoo or MSN instant messaging, gimme a shout here and we'll sort out this insanity. I'll be thrilled. Kthanxbai.

Wow! I'm boring myself! See ya.

A sampler of things yet to come...

Posting to have a new post

I'm working on stuff. I watched Psycho II for the first time a few days (or should I say nights) ago. I love it. Nothing to the original, of course, but it's an entertaining film. Few jolts to my sleepy head... I watched it in bed in the dark. Anthony Perkins was spectacular. He was Norman. He was sympathetic and pitiable. As much as he made one squirm with uneasiness, one (I) still had the urge to comfort him. He was a good boy... Obeyed his mother... and had one Hell of a teen rebellion.

I'm wandering off course. Screencaps will be coming. I'm watching a movie tonight (fingers crossed that the CD-R actually plays in my player).

Justin threw up (yeah, I said it) a site of high quality horror film pics. Awesomeness indeed. Psycho, Vincent Price, Nosferatu... All your hopes and dreams... 'k. I'm overselling a little. It does rock though.

I'm using a Neti pot for post nasal drip. It works great, but I still haven't gotten the hang of not choking and panicking while using it. But! I'm breathing better than I have been in a couple years.

Don't forget to visit Imagination Theater at the very least once a week. Download free radio mystery/drama shows. Boasting a wonderful cast, great producer, Jim French and suspenseful and/or witty plays. MOVIES FOR YOUR MIND: Featuring Harry Nile, Kincaid The Strangeseeker, Crisis and Louie Lamour. *GASP* I've adored that show since I first heard it. Little icky for me... being young and not yet the horrorfreak you see before you... Sherlock Holmes... something about people's twisted bodies that got me spooked.

Now I've posted something. I'm so proud.

Never fear, Monster-Maniac is here!

Grawr... I've been so busy. I hate to not be entertaining though. Just you wait 'til October! 31 posts or over. One a day, if I miss one, next day, 2. I can't wait. Meanwhile, I'll look for something interestingness to post today. I have a link in mind already...

Vintage/interesting book covers?

I have TONS of retro books. Now, my Flickr is making me a little nuts. I can't upload much as is. I'm trying to take the horror screencap site off Justin's hands. My other blog, Ectoplasm soup, is admittedly neglected... I suppose I could put book scans there instead of just articles about the paranormal... It's trickier holding a book open on the scanner than just the cover. The other option is a second Flickr page. Or not doing it at all. Your vote.

New news

So then. What's up, you ask? My friends are busy for me. Justin will make Exorcist III screencaps soon. Because I will nag him until he does. Another friend is going to take pictures from Mommy with Jason Miller. I'm dying for sausage, and I don't know why... I posted a question here. Help me out if you can, thanks. I found a few more cool sites with links to FFH. Thank you! I'll post them later. I always searched "Frankestein's fun house". But "Frankenstein's funhouse" got new results. Yay! Two friends are back from vacations, and one just left. And, Justin's Natalie Bassingthwaighte.com was mentioned in a magazine! He's also now an admin for the Jason Miller Tribute. That's all for now. Update: Run over to Justin's Natalie site and wish her a happy birthday!

Lend us a claw...

Hello again. I'm here now to ask for your participation in horror screencap making. I don't have all the horror movies I would like; and some are only on vhs, so, no pics. Justin has his rockin' site going now, and my Flickr is rather sparse.... Specifically, I'm after caps from Dracula and Frankenstein (originals). Two of my favorite films, and I can't fit the video into the dvd tray! Don't go to too much trouble, of course. But, if you can help, it would be greatly appreciated! I only want caps from movies I've seen... so I don't get spoilers. I'm not sure what Justy wants, but he'll tell you. I'd especially love to have caps from the "It's Alive!" scene in Frankenstein (heavy on the Colin Clive, please) and Renfield's bloody finger trouble in Dracula. Well, if you've read this far, I'm happy.

Justin's Horror Screencap Site

The first thing up is The Exorcist, without the funny blue tint. My face hurts from smiling! A TON of pics, and lots of great shots of Jason Miller. Justy's also going to make caps of The Exorcist III: Legion. (Or I'll threaten him with a rolling pin.) LET'S HEAR IT FOR JUSTIN!!! Horrorcaps.exmk.net

FFH goes to Flickr

Ok, there's some stuff there now. Not fascinating, but stuff. I couldn't decide what to post there at first... I fiddle with photography, but I'm not too hot at it. And I worry someone else will claim my photos are their own. I may put my book scans there. For now it has screenshots: Here. I'll add all the awesome stuff I can. Knock yourselves out! Update: I added more stuff, but there are spoilers! I'll try to rearrange things so you don't see the spoilers when you don't mean to.

The poll

OK, so it's a little screwy; missing quite a few actors... But, I confess, I haven't seen all of the classic horror movies. I'm so ashamed! I only gave you the choice between those actors which I've seen in a few films. Incidentally, the actor I've seen in the most movies is Boris.

JM site news

I've added a ton of pics to the gallery. AND Jason's friend Tom Flannery is going to contribute his memories and feeling about him... AND be interviewed by yours truly!

The Jason Miller Gallery is up!

That Justin is a Saint. He's hosting the Jason Miller Tribute Gallery . I've added a lot of pics, and there are still more to come!

Sites of My People the 2nd

First off, I have to say how touched I am by all the kind things people have said to me about this place. I am truly grateful. Thank you, everyone. This should hold you over for a while.

Jason Miller Tribute site up!

It's up, but there's nothing very interesting there... yet. Jason Miller Tribute Meanwhile, I've a lot of other things to do. So, if you don't see much of your Horror Host, fear not; for I am off getting cool new goodies for you.

Busy, busy, busy!

So much to do! I'm going to start a tribute page for Jason Miller, thanks to the encouragement of my new pal, Cat. If I post a pic that belongs to you, please tell me and I'll make sure you get the credit you deserve. I don't want to make trouble for you and your site, I want to make the best tribute site possible for this wonderful actor. I also have to make Christopher lee screencaps and scans. I'll see you all when I see you all!

Feedback from my Fellow Monsters

I'm trying something new. Labels. I want to know, are they useful to you, or shall I toss 'em? In general, I'd love to hear from you! Don't worry about not having much to say (I obviously don't. Worry or have much to say, that is.). Don't be shy to ask for something, because even if I don't have whatever-it-is, someone else will notice and we'll all keep an eye out for it. Happy Haunting!
