After Frankenstein, I'm striking a more light hearted tone with tonight's film; The Comedy of Terrors.
Sure it's got Vincent Price, Boris Karloff and Peter Lorrre, but when one of the leading credits goes to a cat, you know you're in a for a good time

NILES: “What color do you think I should paint my miniature’s cape? Carmine or Burgundy?”
FRASIER: “Burgundy is a strong choice, but might I suggest Cerise, as a nod to the Battle of Valor’s Dawn?”
MARTIN: “You know, he might look good with a nice red.”
NILES: “We’ll add that to consideration.”

Tonight’s film is del Toro’s Frankenstein. Not a huge fan of his films, but we will see if I can get through 2.5 hrs of this
Also dug out a Peter Ackroyd adaptation in my clear-out. No idea if any good. Hopefully better than the Brian Aldiss rubbish I read last year

Since Conan isn’t going anywhere (literally, he’s spent a lot of time sitting down..), I’m switching to a dystopian/sci fi thriller set in 2025
The Running Man by Richard Bachman (Stephen King)
Not really a fan of most of King’s works, but going in open minded

Call me old fashioned, but I think sword and sorcery should have some sword fights. And a bit of sorcery.
I don't think Conan works in the long form. He's killed a rabbit though. Presumably by flexing his mighty thews even if not specifically stated.

I did some more mini painting - well varnishing actually - this time by hand to avoid frosting up the transparent parts.
