Classic horror movies from the 1930s to the 1970s. Made for TV terror of the 1970s and 1980s. Music as well. My other passion. 📺 🎶🎥

Everyone, this is Bill’s daughter Michaela. I just wanted to inform you all that on Friday my father passed away unexpectedly. Obviously this will likely be one of the last tweets on the account as I don’t plan on checking it, but I will keep the account open in his memory

On this day in 1972, #LouReed released the double A-side single "Walk on the Wild Side" & "Perfect Day"

Produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson, both tracks went on to become two of Reed’s signature songs.

“These are the things I can do without”

On this day in 1979, #Blondie released "Union City Blue" - the second single from their fourth studio album “Eat to the Beat”

The answer might change tomorrow, but this might be my all-time favorite of theirs (followed closely by “Angels on the Balcony”)

Race With The Devil. 1975.
Director: Jack Starrett.

An all time 70s classic. Is there anyone of age who doesn’t remember seeing this for the first time at the local drive-in or theater?

[The Twilight Zone @TheNightGallery]

November 20, 1959: Twilight Zone's "Time Enough at Last" airs. Rod Serling and Burgess Meredith (in the first of four TZ roles) bring us a reader's worst nightmare — and create a TV classic.

Meredith explains why it's "the one that haunts people": https://t.co/7N129FAirT

Back From The Dead. 1957.
Director: Charles Marquis Warren.

Pretty dull and more like a supernatural tinged soap opera. Decent atmosphere though.

This is why I love streaming. Good, bad or indifferent, so many obscure movies to watch at the touch of a button.
