The 56 Best Horror Books of All Time
Do yourself a favor: Don't read these horror books right before bedtime!

I've read just about a dozen of them and they were all quite good. Though one of the best, IMO, is definitely Thomas Tryon's The Other - I just happened to buy it one day back in the day when I was browsing paperbacks and I was not disappointed that I bought and read it. I also recommended it/lent it to several of my friends who also loved it.

If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding today's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...




[spoiler]Today's quote:
DS 2004 Pilot (-1968: Ep #478) - Barnabas - 'You MUST be my cousin Elizabeth.'

From the DS 2004 Pilot script:

---

And the script references what Barnabas actually says in the pilot perfectly. Other things are a bit different, including the setting because the scene actually takes pace in the Drawing Room, and Barnabas doesn't take Elizabeth's hand until just before he delivered the quote and he kisses her hand after he delivers it...

And for those who may be interested in such things, I recently noticed that the version of the pilot currently on YouTube has been upgraded from 514X360 to 686X480.

And Ep #478 now joins Eps #1, #124, #198 and #659 as ones without any "must" lines - one more left to come for this month.

More definitely worth revisiting:

And finally when it comes to Scenes 145 & 146 this time around, I forgot to post this last time around, and I almost forgot to post it this time around too:

It would have been nice if 16 Magazine hadn't doctored the photo like they did. But considering the NoDS article that appeared in their December of 1971 issue is the only place I've ever see the still shared, having a doctored version is better than not having any version at all. (And the really nice thing about that article is that it features several stills that were never shared anywhere else.)

...

Until I was going through a pile of stills looking for ones to post for upcoming scenes, I'd completely forgotten that I have the still of the Angelique/Charles Lobby Card. And like the still I shared of Carlotta/Gerard in Reply #294, the still is much better quality than the Lobby Card -

- or at least much better quality than the Heritage Auctions Web site's scan I've shared of the Lobby Card - plus it shows a bit more... 

And as a side note, notice how you can barely tell Charles is supposed to have a scar on his cheek. Apparently they went much more pronounced with the make-up once they shot his scenes...
