One from the October vaults! Even Uncle Walt got in on the spooky vinyl action with this eerie soundscape LP - Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House, first released by Disneyland Records in 1964 and reissued several dozen times!

We just published the 2nd of @dazzah1.bsky.social 's Doc Savage pulp "Refractions." They're very detailed looks at the novels with an eye toward marking all the gadgets, villains, locations, etc of the pulps. #docsavage #pulp #adventure

At the time the original Doc Savage adventures were written, there were 48 states in the United States of America. (Hawaii and Alaska were added in 1959.)

Of those 48 states, can you guess which never had a mention?

MICROGORIA 130 - Leaving DC

In this show, we review a microbudget horror - Leaving DC. This creepy found footage movie is the video diary of a man who has left the city to live in a lovely house in the country. But there's something in the woods round his new home...

Yup. One of their all time greats.

And also: “… shadow in one sequence, where it’s lit in such a way that it towers above him but, when his sense of power is taken from him…”

And: “… based on Aleister Crowley although, I very much suspect from an anecdote I read once by Wheatley about his meeting the man in question, that it’s based more on the sensationalist idea of Crowley than, perhaps, the personality of the man himself…”

From my latest review: “… this one and THE HAUNTING OF TOBY JUGG were in pretty much every shop in the country that dealt with popular reading material, if memory serves…”

And also: “Like the previous two series, the titles are nicely designed but rendered almost unwatchable owing to a terrible pop song playing on the soundtrack of each…”

And: “… the most interesting aspect of this show is that, due to intrusions of dementia at unexpected moments, we realise from pretty early on that the narrative being spun is unreliable.”

From my latest review: “… who wrote a best selling book about the unsolved case, has passed away and he is being partially cared for by his son, as he has something like the onset of dementia.”

It took an incredible amount of wealth for Doc Savage to do his work. Where did he get his money? It was gold from the Valley of the Vanished. #docsavage #pulp #adventure #gold

“As you all know,” he said at last, “only recently did we learn that my father had discovered a lost city built by Mayans in the Valley of the Vanished in present-day Hidalgo. Chicahua and the others belonged to that enclave, whose ancient gold mines now fund our operations. This was my father’s greatest secret, which only his untimely death revealed. He refused to touch that wealth, reserving it until the time I proved myself worthy of its use.”

“Did you ever discover any clue as to your father’s motivation for training you as he did?” wondered Ham. — Skull Island by Will Murray
