DO YOU HAVE JUST 15 MINUTES TO SPARE TODAY? Sometimes Blogs are not really meant for everyone! Such is the case this fine Thursday day when a tribute to one born some 134 years ago offered all members born before perhaps 1960 some very fond deeply instilled memories! Those of you born later on would at best only catch glimpse's of why so many of us demanded tiny night lights always being turned on just before our visits from the sandman. Yes Fear is indeed one of the more powerful emotions that can linger deep within young minds throughout our lasting journey's in life. Few laymen ever realize how horror films of long ago were indeed valuable tools in making us behave and listen and respect mom and dad and all of our elders. Hollywood's creations of Frankenstein's monster, the Mummy, Count Dracula, the Wolfman and the Invisible man all Pre dated our Beloved Action Comics hero's of Superman, Batman and Robin, the Fantastic four, the Green Lantern and so many more. Simply even while beginning before sounds (The earliest feature-length movies with recorded sound included only music and effects. The first feature film originally presented as a talkie was The Jazz Singer, released in October 1927.) these all to real to us Monsters lurked somewhere between truth and fiction locked inside of our very fragile developing minds. Bella Lugosi and Boris Karloff were indeed the Ambassador' s finely representing that Dark Side of Life that will always live in myths. Those old black and white silent and with sounds movie flicks like the old cowboy movies should be included in Cable Televisions gallery of nightly aired Classics! It was Onda Fence's very last blog photo today that strongly connected with me and inspired me to construct this blog. I will explain here how my fondness for Poems and Prose lead me to EXTEND Edgar Allen Poe's famous and classic poem THE RAVEN ( first published in Jan.1845). As Bret has taught us over the past few years with his daily; blogs growing and becoming the main Focal point for so many of us now faithful Out Personals members, both current ongoing events as well his reminders to Past History make for the most interesting Blogs! Writing is merely an extension of ones thoughts! Its simply Story Telling done and based on either Truth (history) or fiction (mind born)! You my friends have all of the necessary tools to CREATE for CREATION knows no boundaries. Brett has discovered the great rewards of time put aside to please others! Know that a very deep element of Pride and Pleasure run abound when hitting that Blog Post Button. Such a Wonderful feeling of Reward and Accomplishment feed our ego's with a very soothing type of calm pleasure. Writing is expression and why not share your thoughts, ideas, experiences or views with hundreds of others like yourself? Know that Blogs are not graded nor judged for levels of merit! Instead they are read for providing a degree of value! This sites Blog section has for some reason has greatly Diminished over the past 6 to 8 months of so?. Gone are Fire and Rains daily treasures as well as many other dedicated members and former long time contributors! A few key members are putting in long and hard and Unselfish hours of work in trying to keep this fragile Blog ship afloat and delivering the goods! Many new names have come aboard of late to navigate uncharted waters that they now find quite enjoyable and very challenging! So give it a try. Surprise yourself and reap the rewards of your newly discovered talents. So lets get back to BELLA LAGOSI whom I've somehow strayed from....The picture of him fully united with that black Raven was a perfect fit for my extensions to Poe's The Raven........hope you enjoy it more this time around? POE'S IN BLACK...................MY ADDITONS IN RED........ I sometimes greatly enjoy taking a masterful famous poem and adding my very own greatly challenging ending spin to its famed contents. One such world famous poem I recently selected to choose from is by a very famous known master by the name of Edgar Allan Poe and is entitled THE RAVEN The Raven" was first attributed to Poe in print in the New York Evening Mirror on January 29.1845 instantly bringing him both fame and world wide acclaim in launching his brilliant career as both an author and distinguished poet. THE RAVEN by Edgar Allan Poe Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping. As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door-- "Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-- Only this , and nothing more," -------(EDGAR ALLAN POE) Now my very own continuance of this famous poem in 2010 some 160 years later) this my brand new addition is below in RED Could it be, that Claws my pet killing bird has yet returned, His talons stained and bloodied with the marks of a kill, Oh how I wish nature had given me, but a set of wings, So that I too can bear, ill reputed witness to his thrills My cruel heart beating wildly from these gory things, Distraught with joys, as I open my dreary chamber door, Such an evil sight that most would find cause to deplore , For there in his majestic pleasure, behold his unruly sight Perched my proud self-trained bird of prey, framed now by dull candlelight, But alas in his long clinging talons, basked a firmiiar sight that my eyes knew , T’was my loves Christmas scarf, I had just bestowed but now no longer thatl blue , The death wagon man told me then, she had still worn it, into her chambered bed Her end awoke her from her dreams of me, the brutal attack upon her helpless head, With the devils anger I grabbed at my wretched bird, by his bloody evil neck , The cold blooded killer of my Love of Loves, my mind so angered, as he boldly pecked, His feathers flew in all four directions, as my assault for justice, did indeed hold quite true, Murder my soul mate you repulsive beast, take this evil just medicine I have only contempt left for you!!!!! now back to Poe's black font verse again carried below And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on my door; ] And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted —FOR HE BREATHS HIS EVIL WAYS NO MORE ! (thus that My very last ending line above ending the Raven is all Mine) This joint venture of Vultures is now to shared between myself And the great Edgar Allan Poe PLEASE KNOW AND UNDERSTAND, AT ONE TIME NOT SO LONG AGO, IT TOOK ME DAYS TO SIMPLY WRITE A FEW SIMPLE PARAGRAPHS I FELT COULDN'T BE IMPROVED UPON! IT'S CALLED NEW WRITERS BLOCK........ONCE PAST IT , ITS ALL SMOOTH SAILING!!         |

We have "The Raven" in our collection of Classic Horror Flicks. Also Vincent Price's rendition of the Raven. Thank you for your kind words and attribution. I am glad I could conjure up those thoughts now as we approach the Halloween season.

There is a German movie... We seen it in a class in school where the little boy is lured by a pedophile behind a fence..... The little boy was holding a balloon... all you see is the balloon that escaped his grasp and rises above the fence. The movie maker didn't show what happened to the boy at all he left it to the viewers imagination... probably one of the strongest possible of mental imagery possible. Unlike todays films where the directors would exploit every means of the graphic arts to splatter blood and guts for those lacking the mental capacities of todays audiences. While not seeing this movie, I can visualize the balloon traveling higher and higher above that forbidden scene showing how one small event is taking place in a far too busy world and going unnoticed! Too bad graphic violence in movies, toys and video games has taken over our children's young minds.

If only God added an extra hour each day to spend in such a Library? Perhaps a prelude to heaven!

I remember on television a program called Friday Night Frights,movies in black and white my parents would let my friends come to my house to watch scary movies then with the lights out and all of us young kids laying on the floor eating popcorn and deep into a scary movie in a dark room, my stepdad would sneak in and scare the living crap out of us. DID YOU HEAR THAT ?????
