Congratulations On Having Survived Friday The 13th!
Super glad no one murdered you in your dreams!
Happy Weekend!
I hope all of your Friday the 13ths went well and that nothing terribly unlucky happened to you. I don’t actually have to worry about that because I’m Italian and 13 is lucky for us — it’s actually Friday the 17th that’s supposed to be bad. Not that this is a thing I remember outside of the Friday the 13th context — I very rarely know what day it is to begin with.
Anyway! you are very lucky today, because today I have brought you a beautiful and festive present! A 1989 Halloween special called The Wickedest Witch, starring Rue McClanahan, aka Ms. Blanche Devereaux. (courtesy of r/ObscureMedia)
Seriously though — can we talk about how super hot Blanche is looking here? Like, the hair, the cheekbones for days? And she looks about 20 years younger than she does when she turns back into regular-looking Rue McClanahan to make some mortal boy she kidnapped do game show games so she can escape her underground prison. I think?
GLAMOUR.
ALSO GLAMOUR. Love her, love this look for her.
But anyway …

Tonight's movie The Haunting is the same age as me, 60! It was released in September of 1963. Martin Scorsese puts it at number one on his list of the 11 scariest horror films of all time. There's no gore, but there is atmosphere and great acting. "The Haunting at 60: is it still one of the scariest films ever made?
Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg count the slow-burn 1963 horror as one of the greatest of all time but it wasn’t always seen as a classic"
