Foote Sure, when I was a kid, the old Universal monsters – Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Phantom of the Opera, and The Wolfman-  scared the beejeezus out of me. Imagine sitting in a dark old house, my father in the middle of the couch, my brothers and I are on either…

Foote The first time I saw Lorena MacKenzie, like most, I was at once struck by her exotic beauty. Nearly black eyes that danced when she smiled, she was beautiful, mischievous with drop dead gorgeous movie star looks. I was a first year acting student soon to discover I had no interest…

But Christmas can also pop up in a film that really isn’t about…

My other half and I pull them out each year to help us get in the mood for the annual night of haunts.  I guess they’re all somewhat simplistic today, but they really are a weird kind of…

I’d only seen Dracula (1931) starring Bela Lugosi and later Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) with Klaus Kinski, but it was enough to keep replaying in my mind, plus feeling sheer terror recalling shadowy images of the walking dead.

Foote Mummies, vampires, witches, werewolves, ghosts, and zombies truly can be frightening.

Whether it was watching the TV series Bewitched as a kid, touring the sites of Salem, Massachusetts (home of the infamous Salem witch trials) on a road trip, reading Arthur Miller’s The Crucible in school, or a first viewing of Rosemary’s Baby (1968), the mere idea of…
