Burn, Bills, Burn!

In Arizona, my late parents had boxes of old papers stored in their garage. With some help from my sisters, we went through them to find the things worth saving. The rest went to Staples and, for $1 per pound, sent to Iron Mountain for shredding. At least that’s what I was told would happen.

Here at home the nights have been unseasonably cold. With oil for the furnace now costing $5.40/gal., I’ve been heating the living room with old bills and papers.

Vampires on Facebook

Gotta laugh at this ridiculous come-on. It was directed at me as a comment on Facebook, in reply to a comment I had made on a comic book group.

The vampires are always out there, looking for victims. At the same time I saw that message, this fantastic photo popped up in my Facebook newsfeed.

What a lavish display, especially for a horror flick. Even the lettering is impressive. Wartime before TV. The movie was shown with a Fleischer Popeye cartoon, a Disney Pluto cartoon, and a George Pal Puppetoon, misspelled as “Puppetune.”

I can’t read the cartoon titles, but this is the Pluto cartoon that was released closest to Return of the Vampire. Buy your war bonds here!

 
And now, the feature presentation.
