After sunset, I climbed out of my coffin and began calling for Julia…. Julia, hear my call. Come to me. Julia. Julia. Julia. Julia. Julia. Julia. You cannot ignore my call. You must come to me now. Julia. Julia. Julia. But she did not come to me. I had to go to her. In the…

Another summer at the drive-in comes to a close with two movies that were surprisingly #1 at the box office the week of Halloween, 1970. As a child, Jeff saw this double-feature at the Enid Drive-In, but as an adult, he and Richard appear at the Middleton Drive-In in Middleton, New York. New York… we…

When Jeff left Dr. Hoffman alone last night, I suddenly found myself in the room with her. I crept up behind and startled her. She asked who I was and what I wanted. I gave her a big smile and exposed my fangs to her. Backing off, she told me to stay away from her.…

Jaws: the Revenge (1987) has been maligned from the moment it was released. I for one didn’t like it when I saw it in theaters. Prior to revisiting it for the first time in probably 38 years, I expected it to mirror the downward trajectory of the Superman quadrilogy. However, what happens in Jaws the…

Night had come to Collinwood. I stood still and silent outside the Old House, staring into the window. As I watched Julia Hoffman enter the room and catch Jeff reading some type of journal, I tried to remember how I got there. The evening after Maggie came to the hospital, Joe arrived just as she…

Jaws 3 (1983) was originally pitched by producers David Brown and Richard D. Zanuck as a comedy called, National Lampoon’s Jaws 3, People 0. I don’t know what he had to do with it at this point, but Steven Spielberg threatened to leave Universal Pictures if it proceeded. Even then he had the power and…

After finishing a wiring project upstairs at what we call, “the house by the sea,” I asked its new resident, Nicholas Blair, if I could take a look around the cellar to get an idea of how much more work needed to be done. You can never tell in these old houses. I entered a…

When you have as perfect a movie as Jaws (1975), it’d be misguided, to say the least, to think a sequel could match it, much less exceed it. Well, I guess The Empire Strikes Back (1980) exceeded Star Wars (1977), but that was another chapter in a larger story. Once you explode a killer shark,…

Experience Dark Shadows in bite-sized pieces as the characters tell its stories in their own words with only the information they possess at the time they make entries in their diaries. If you’re not familiar with the show, this will be an easy way to get into it, and if you are, the format just…

Last week, I claimed that Jaws (1975) is a nearly perfect movie. Now, since it’s shark week and seems like a good time to do it, I’m going to go ahead and put my money where my full-of-razor-sharp-teeth mouth is and share some of the reasons why. Interestingly, few of them feature the shark. If…
