The Midnite Film Society — Vol. 16 — Bark at the Moon edition!
An all-werewolf Friday night drop for The Midnite Film Society. Three VHS flicks, from the ‘70s TV movie Moon of the Wolf, an ‘80s compilation of werewolf trailers & clips, and one of the greatest monster mashups of all time. Plus a music video, some trailers scanned from my 16mm collection, as well as an appearance from Wolfman Jack and the character he inspired over at The Hilarious House of Frightenstein.

i can’t vibe with anyone who thinks icarus was an ignorant idiot for flying too close to the sun. “oh i’d never do that i would have remembered my father’s warning and been fine”. do you seriously think that after years of imprisonment, feeling the sun on your face and the open air beneath your wings, you would be able to focus on anything but the joy of being alive and free? do you actually think that if you were given the opportunity to go where nobody has never been before, you wouldn’t want to push it to the limit? to dare to be the first to try what no one else has ever even thought possible? do you honestly think you’re too good for your own human nature? look me in the eyes and tell me if i strapped a pair of wings to your back that could take you wherever you wanted to go whenever you pleased that you’d be careful and sensible about it. you are not better than icarus just because you have the benefit of his example.

i’m sorry this will never not be so fucking funny to me

Tucked away behind the plants on the left is the perfect bathroom: brick walls, concrete surface, washable from top to bottom with a hose. Just utilitarian ease among the trees.
Bunny Rogers is so heckin cool. It is a selfish thought but I hope to be 80 and still check in on her latest works.
