"Your problem is you think too much," Episcopal priest explaining why I'm going to hell. And now I'm here. Star Trek V: The Final Frontier was an outstanding ST:TOS third season episode. Humanist. Skeptic. Nerd. Engineer. ansonisms.com

They say the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Dawn" is a shameless rip off of the movie "Enemy Mine."

I don't see it.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier would've been a FANTASTIC TOS third season episode.

Night of the Lepus (1972) costars two Star Trek alums, DeForest Kelley and Paul Fix, fighting giant mutated bloodthirsty rabbits. Also starring Stuart Whitman and a fluffle of bunnies.

They could've used Elmer Fudd.

On this official #CryptidDay, created by the #ChurchOfGnome (est. January 25, 2024), I'd like to make note of the #Woodbooger. The Woodbooger is a #Bigfoot like creature said to wander SW Virginia. Norton, VA, hosts an annual festival in its honor.

In the season 2 episode "Singularity" of Star Trek: Enterprise, Captain Archer struggles to write a one page preface to a biography of his father. T'Pol declines to write it for him. If only the AI bubble hadn't burst he could use ChatGPT. This is probably for the best.

No one played a maniacal witch like #LaraParker. Whether she was the vengeful #Angelique chasing Barnabas on #DarkShadows, or the fashion model Madelaine Perkins hexing her way to success on #KolchakTheNightStalker, she left no scenery unchewed when the cameras were rolling.

Night of Dark Shadows (1971) is a less lurid movie than House of DS. Focusing on Quentin Collins, it is tale of ghosts, possession, reincarnation, and centuries old murder and revenge. And witches.

Notable mainly as the screen debut of Kate Jackson.

House of Dark Shadows (1970) is a bloodier retelling of the original Barnabas Collins storyline from the TV soap opera.

Relying on watchers' knowledge of the show, the movie sacrifices characterization for lurid set pieces. Not that that's a bad thing.

In 1966, #WilliamShatner starred in the #horror #movie #Incubus. Spoken entirely in the #conlang #Esperanto, the actors learned their lines phonetically and mispronounced everything.

Also in the cast Robert Fortier, Tomar in TOS episode By Any Other Name.

"Dark Shadows" was almost canceled due to low ratings during its first season. The introduction of angsty vampire Barnabas Collins in episodes 211-220 saved the show.

Supernatural shenanigans ensued.

I forgot to add to the alt text:

Text split between top and bottom reads, "If it walks like a duck it might not be a duck./It might be Bugs Bunny disguised as a duck"
If it walks like a duck it might not be a duck.

It might be Bugs Bunny disguised as a duck.

In his first movie Fear in the Night (1946 or '47), #DeForestKelley was a man who dreamed he killed someone. Later investigation found a murder had happened matching his dream. Did he do it?

He was also on some #SciFi #television show.

In Dan Curtis' "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1974) TV movie, Dracula is impaled standing up with a spear against an upended table.

Also the first Dracula to feature the reincarnation of Drac's long dead love subplot, recycled from Curtis' horror soap opera "Dark Shadows."

I was rewatching "Shockwave" ( #StarTrekENT S1E26) recently and noticed an equipment ID plate on the back of a monitor Captain Archer was using to meet with Admiral Forrest. It is very similar to ID plates used on US military equipment.

Kolchak: The Night Stalker's final episode "The Sentry" was clearly inspired by Star Trek's "The Devil in the Dark." Except one had a subterranean reptile creature and the other had a silicon based throw rug.

Yvonne De Carlo accepted the role of Lily Munster to pay medical debts incurred by her husband, stuntman Bob Morgan, after a serious accident during production of "How the West Was Won" (1962).
