#NowWatching Breakfast at Tiffany’s

After watching Sabrina in January, I thought it would be a good idea to rewatch the first movie I ever saw Audrey Hepburn in. Even though I'm not big into romantic comedies, I recall really liking it.

#NowWatching Nekrotronic

Tonight, the #FFBMovieNight folks and I are checking out an Australian sci-fi horror movie with Monica Bellucci. This looks all sorts of weird, but it looks fun.

Happy Friday the 13th, everyone! Even though today often begins bad luck, I had some pretty decent luck at 2nd & Charles and Ross had a discounted Ultimate King Kong figure. All in all, not a bad day.

#NowWatching Friday the 13th (1980)

Seeing as how today is Friday the 13th, I figured I should bust out my Scream Factory Blu-Ray for the film that, along with John Carpenter’s Halloween and Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street, got me into the horror genre.

After watching Rope and The Man Who Knew Too Much, I decided to watch all the movies in the Alfred Hitchcock: The Ultimate Collection Blu-ray box set. Lastly is, appropriately enough, the final film Hitchcock made before his death in 1980.

Anyone who’s heard Michael Jackson’s Thriller will recall the song begins with the lyric “It's close to midnight.” Vincent Price, who did the creepy voice over for Thriller, says it in the film: “It's close to midnight, Lance.” #TheLastDriveIn

One person who noticed how successful House on Haunted Hill was at the box office was the Master of Suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock. It inspired him to make his own low-budget horror film. That film was Psycho, arguably his most famous movie. #TheLastDriveIn
February 7, 2026 at 2:32 AM
Athough the movie is titled House on Haunted Hill, the trailer calls it The House on Haunted Hill. To quote the Nostalgia Critic, “I guess the word "the" was just cramping the title's style. #TheLastDriveIn

The exterior shots of the haunted house were filmed at The Ennis Brown House, located in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1924, it’s been used in many movies like Blade Runner and The Rocketeer. #TheLastDriveIn
