Paleo-Cinema Podcast #27 Damned Children:

This time I take a look at three movies about lethal children from the early 1960s. The first is Village of the Damned, starring George Sanders and Barbara Shelley. The second is the sequel cum remake of it, Children of the Damned from 1963 starring Ian Hendry and Alan Badel and finally, an unrelated film: Joseph Losey's 1961 (released in 1963) Hammer film (These Are) The Damned. All have lethal children in them, all three take a different approach to the subject.

Phantom of the Paradise outtakes (via HTF)

I do love me a ghost ship so I'm absolutely going to check out Image's new comic Dead Ahead.

On a restless ocean, a group of weary survivors contemplate their grim fortune: What had started out as a fun little fishing trip soon turns into a nightmare of damnation, trapped on a floating prison. The continents have been hit by a plague that has turned humanity into living corpses - leaving our castaways at sea to fend for themselves! With provisions low, hope comes in the form of a luxury liner sailing into view on the horizon... All they needed to survive would be on board, but who among them has what it takes to find out what happened to its crew and passengers?

Saturday Stuff

Fringe Stuff:
A pretty good reason to watch, or at least DVR, Saturday's repeat of the pilot episode...

from Blog Critics (via Fringe Television) :
"... series stars Joshua Jackson (Peter [Bishop]) and Anna Torv (Olivia Dunham) host the rebroadcast, FOX will also show "the first act of episode two at the tail end of the pilot."

Fox has released the first Fringe Podcast.

Frankensteinia looks at an early Frankie inspired cartoon (+YouTube link)

"...The Snow Man, produced in 1932, features a nasty North Pole bogeyman with scary claws and a literal stovepipe hat. The Frankenstein theme suggested by reporter Crow is incidental, the snowman being a creature assembled, brought to life and going on a rampage. A year later, the film might have been compared to King Kong instead. The 8-minute film survives today in black and white. Too bad, the aura borealis finale must have been stunning in color..."

SHOCK IT TO ME! returns for a fourth year celebrating classic horror films!

"Remember the Bay Area favorite of the 1970s, "Creature Features" and its host, Bob Wilkins? Well, even if you don't, everyone had a late-night horror show in their hometown, long before multiplexes took over and masked slashers replaced Dracula and Frankenstein as our favorite screen monsters. But, we're digging them back up - SHOCK IT TO ME!, San Francisco's annual classic horror film festival, devoted to the Golden Age of Horror Cinema, returns to the historic (and haunted) Castro Theatre for its fourth year with live presentations on stage, celebrity guests, trailers of terror, and a vendors area on the Castro's monstrous mezzanine..."

The Most Accurate (and Inaccurate) Predictions About Homes of the Future (io9)

"For decades, scifi movies and futurist documentaries have promised us domestic bliss via flying cars and housecleaning droids. We may not have home heliports yet, but several old movies actually got it right when it came to predicting the crazy gadgets that would be in our homes today. We've whipped up an infographic for you (just click it to expand) that shows what nine movies predicted, and how accurate they were."
