House of Long Shadows

Yet another movie featuring all three of this week's birthday boogie boys is House of Long Shadows. Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Vincent Price - PLUS the great John Carradine and... Desi Arnez Jr. Huh? Yep, you heard right... someone, somewhere, got all these horror icons together then figured it would be a good idea to give the lead role to Desi Arnez Jr. Yeeaaah, right. Made in 1983 it is a comedy with horror elements, kind of an old dark house mystery movie about a writer who accepts a dare that he can write a great horror novel in 24 hours. he heads to an abandoned mansion to write - and soon finds the mansion isn't as abandoned as he hoped.

Despite Desi the movie is still enjoyable, and worth seeing if only to see all these veteran horror actors on the screen together.

Been busy getting my Howliday special ready to air. It is all laid out on the timeline and I've color corrected everything and added all my transitions - next up is cleaning up audio and eqing levels. I still have a couple of insert shots to add, then it's time for sound effects... should be done in a couple of days, depending on how much time I have to work on it.

Been a busy and hectic weekend - I am feeling kind of exhausted and a bit drained, and honestly probably need to catch up a bit on sleep.

I started watching "House of Long Shadows" over lunch today - That's one I've always wanted to see mainly because of the cast - Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, John Carradine - all together in one movie with... Desi Arnez Jr.? Uhhh...yeah.

Haven't gotten too far into it, so can't really comment on the movie itself yet, but Desi is horrible. Wonderfully horrible, mind you, in an unintended, bad movie sense. So I am enjoying the movie. More on it tomorrow after I finish it... but in the meantime - here's the trailer...
