I loved Vincent Price, just rented the Pit and the Pendulum to watch again. I heard it read at a Poe event, I came home and read it again myself then watched. It brought back some cool memories of watching Vincent Price with my friends.
I remember The Birds so well, which is a miracle, considering my memory of late. But that movie didn't scare me. Maybe. Vincent Price did more. It might have been the tone of his voice and his special kind of articulation.
Hi, Jane, another Aussie! There aren’t many, I’m afraid. Welcome to WdC I hope you enjoy the ride. I have two adult family members in Queensland. My daughter lives in Cairns and my son in Bloomfield, very remote. We’re in Perth, WA
I hope to read some of your portfolio when I have a chance. Please feel free to pop in and check out mine.
Cheers Sue
Nope, don't think I would do that. I have been to Niagara Falls and that water is so bloody strong and the drop!! No thank you!!! Beautiful to look at though.
I am a bit the same. Those movies you mentioned such as Saw and Chainsaw Massacre I couldn't watch those. However I love things like Monster series on Netflix and just watched The Ed Gein Story and loved it. Which is strange to say but I think for me the real life horror is more psychology type thing. Why are these people the way they are?
I flip flop back between do I believe people are born evil or is it their environment etc.
In Ed's case I think that his mother and father had mental issues which can be hereditary, so most likely he had mental issues when he was born and then his upbringing with parents, especially his mother manifested those mental issues. It maybe could have been different had his issues been picked up when he was younger and helped. He eventually was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Anyway, probably didn't want to read all that ha ha ha.
Day 2608 July 10, 2025
Prompt: What is the best daring thing you have ever done? Write about this in your Blog entry today.
Thanks for the prompt which reminded me of the day I went with my daughter to photograph her and her friend abseiling. I stood with her group listening to the safety talk and then the roll call of those who were participating and had paid for the morning’s instruction. Guess the surprise when my name was called. I said ‘Oh no, I’m just here to observe.’
But no. My daughter had paid for me to join them without my knowledge as a “surprise “
It was a surprise alright. When the time came for the first one of us to do it, I surprised myself by saying that I’d go first! I just needed to get it over with!
I was terrified and couldn’t believe I was walking backwards of a cliff edge.
