A few notes!

• I saw I, Madman and it didn't do much for me. However, it's come highly recommended from some very trusted sources, and its appearance here makes me think that perhaps I should give it a second chance.
• Like The Haunting of Julia, Paperhouse is desperately in need of a Region 1 DVD release. So there.
• ELVIRA.
• It would have been better if Antichrist had come in at #666. Ah, hindsight.
• Uzumaki was a Final Girl Film Club choice, and tomorrow is Film Club day. COINCIDENCE?? Yes, and not a particularly startling one. The point is, getcher Onibaba on for tomorrow!
• The fact that City of Lost Children came out in 1995 makes me feel very old for some reason. I think I'll drink away those feelings with a tall, cool vanilla Ensure.
  
• Wait! I mean hooch. I'll be drinking hooch.
• I'd never heard of Screamplay, but the person who listed it described it as such: "Imagine a black and white American version of Hausu / House that's acted by wildly gesturing silent-film era actors and directed by Luis Bunuel... It's craziness... but very enjoyable. The director went on to make optical illusions for a living after this if that tells you anything." See? I'm so psyched for all the movies you guys are introducing me to because of this. It makes me feel like this:

BUT WAY YOUNGER I SWEAR.
