It occurs to me there are also HISTORICAL PLACES many of which no longer exist, or exist in a different form and their connection to Black history has been lost. I’m going to spend THIS WEEK focusing on PLACES (this is a re-up from last year)
1. The Savoy
2. The Cotton Club
3. The Apollo

The House on Haunted Hill (1959)
What a banger. I love this film, this is a comfort watch for me. Some true scream queens, jump scares,and Vincent Price being an absolute king.
Also famous for 'Emergo' the wire-pulled skeleton. No one did it like William Castle lol.
Any other fans?
