Maybe I Should Have Remade the Blog Post

I am just about up to a Monstrous Monday post.  It has not been a particularly monstrous day, but I am just not feeling like myself.  I think I need some monster to re-center me.  It couldn’t hurt.

Yeah, I feel like this, and I kind of look that way, too.

Here is a depiction of me, only I cause much less havoc and destruction.  Steve McQueen would find no reason to fight me.  I hope.

In case anybody was wondering what movie that was from.

I haven’t seen The Blob in a while.  It is a fun flick.  I never saw the remake.  Remakes are often disappointing, although not always.

He is smoking hot!

For example, Blacula as an update of Dracula is quite entertaining.  I understand the sequel, Scream, Blacula, Scream, is at least equally as good.  I must check it out sometime.  I hear Pam Grier is in it.  Love Pam Grier!

Quite the mash-up, no?

I don’t believe I have ever seen Dracula vs. Frankenstein, another sort of sequel or remake, but this picture was in my Media Library.  I suppose I just grabbed it because it looked cool.

I’m afraid that is exactly what they think, but of course I do not know for sure.

And here is one they never remade.  Wait a minute, I did once, a long time ago, see a movie called They Saved Hitler’s Brain.  His head was in a kind of a glass case, like you might put a cake in.  That might have been a sort of a re-boot, or this one was a re-boot of that one.  I wonder why Hitler’s Brain never made it into one of my DVD collections of movies.  Something to hope for in the future.

In the meantime, I am approaching 300 words.  Score!  Time to see if a good night’s sleep can save my brain.

 

Who Doesn’t Love a Blood-Sucking Fiend?

I may have mentioned that all I require of myself on a Monday is that I get through the day.  Last Monday I had a bit of a problem even doing that much, leaving work early and taking a Blogger’s Sick Day.  This week I made it through my full shift.  I spent much of the day, when I could spare a thought from my tasks, reiterating to myself all the things I intended to get done after work.

It should come as a surprise to no one, least of all me, that when the end of the day was near, I was saying to myself, “I can’t do any of those things!”  I said it in a whiny tone of voice.  However, after I got home I did manage to do a few things.  I would list them, but I am afraid it is a very unimpressive list.  I would rather share pictures of monsters instead.

It says “No Smoking,” but he is smokin’ hot.

Here is a fellow I have not shared in a while, Blacula.  I only saw that movie once, DVR’d off TCM.  I would like to get it on DVD, for my collection.

He is creepy, yes!

I guess I could make it an all-vampire post.  Who doesn’t live a blood-sucking fiend?   Here is my favorite guy, Nosferatu.  I would not describe him as hot, but I love him.

Dude! Use a napkin!

And here is Christopher Lee, another notable wearer of the cape and fangs.  I should probably try to find a picture of Bela Lugosi before I sign off.

Those eyes!

I know what some of you are thinking:  What about The Lost Boys?  Kiefer Sutherland may never forgive me.  Will my readers? I can only hope.
