I suspect the people at Universal charged with restarting their monster stories have never seen the originals. Dracula and The Mummy aren't horror stories and they're not action stories. They're love stories! That's why they are remembered so well! Coppola understood this. His movie has its shortcomings, but it…

Diskwis, I can imagine your idea of a parade is just you in aviator glasses walking down the street giving people high fives.

Odduck, I am flattered, but I am not the best person to ask that question! On personal matters like this, I would always suggest erring on the side of caution. If you absolutely must make your feelings for your boyfriend vocal, you should wait until you have no doubt about how he will respond. I've only ever said…

Diskwis, you're not really going out for Halloween as a Power Ranger again, are you? Isn't it time for a new costume?

I wish I could have seen your faces the moment you realised you had just gotten off the right train, haha! That's exactly the sort of thing I'd do! Were you the very last people to get back on? I hope you weren't squished against anyone with B.O. I have been on a very crowded bus where I was right up against the…

Diskwis, you've gone a couple days without a post so here's an extra one to fill you up.

Claudia! I'm so glad to hear you had such a good time you are now the happiest girl on earth! Have a safe trip home! 300 minutes! Maybe that was the ride, to scare you with the thought of a 300 minute wait. That's enough time to watch Lawrence of Arabia, including the intermission, and still have time for an…

I'd love to live on the riverbank with Ratty and Moley.

Diskwis, there was a big footprint in my last post, was that your platform heel?

He runs on your backs? Does he take off his shoes at least? I hope he hasn't gotten much bigger than he was last time because that sounds like it would hurt even if he doesn't fall!

Diskwis, I'm going to summon you at a seance and trap you in a pickle jar.

Voodoo Island was stupid but it was still really good! Just in a stupid way. It wasn't boring at all and of course I am still wondering how long palm trees live and whether some of them are still there, swaying gently in a tropical breeze and remembering the time a film crew showed up and made a really stupid movie.

Diskwis if I thought you were repelled by religious objects I'd include a Bible passage in every post.

Yes I did vote! This one guy came to our door campaigning a couple weeks ago and he seemed so sincere and nervous I felt sorry for him and promised him that he had my vote. So I had to keep my promise!

Someone I knew when I was little once pointed across the street and told me in that house over there a dead body had been found under mysterious circumstances. It didn't surprise me at all because it was one of those Amityville Horror type houses. A barn shaped house with windows for eyes. I had long suspected…

Diskwis, its good for you that you're a dictator, because I'd never vote for you in a million years.

The cross thing is very inconsistent! Maybe it has to be dramatic? Like in the movie she revealed the cross very suddenly and made a dramatic gesture. Maybe if she had just yawned and pulled out a cross and kind of shrugged it wouldn't have had any effect? I heard a podcast recently about vampires which was pretty…

Diskwis, do you eat our posts while they're still warm with butter on them?

What do you put on your french toast? I've never tried naan for pizza crust but its a really good idea! I found its more expensive to make pizza than it is to buy them made. That makes no sense! But I kind of like making it because it gets me in the pizza mood. I've had it twice now and so far NO DRIPS on my…

Diskwis, will you hollow out one of our posts to make a postolantern for Halloween?
