I love Halloween, Wolverine, Bronze age Marvel comics, Robert E Howard's Conan, Indiana Jones, Masters of the Universe, Vintage Star Wars, and Universal Monsters.
I had already forgotten or never knew entirely. I only remember the Alan Silvestri soundtrack. I definitely don't remember this at all even though some portions made it into the final film. I couldn't tell you where though.

Flash Ah-ah Savior of the Universe! Great scores!

Just tell them you only use burner phones so the government can't track you. They usually give you a wide berth.

It is not mentioned but if he wanted to take refuge in London's streets lost in the crowd he would need to fit in with men's fashion. We know he studied English culture.

"he gazed at a tall, thin man, with a beaky nose and black moustache and pointed beard"

Boarding the ship to Varna he is wearing a straw hat.

"That he be all in black, except that he have a hat of straw which suit not him or the time."

An English straw hat as a poor attempt at assimilation is not very imposing or befitting nobility dear count. It might have been a straw top hat.

Ghost Story had some great practical effects/makeup design.

Subjective indeed. Poor Carradine's hat to me seems to be about to fall off his head.

At one point during all the running around during the search of the house the characters opened a door to peek in without leaving the room, and look alike characters dressed the same peeked out on the other side of the stage simultaneously that was pretty funny.

Bela Lugosi's Dracula also wears a top hat. Bela had a presence that Carradine could not achieve. Carradine had a moustache and was gaunt like the literary Dracula. Contract disputes, addiction, and availability prevented Bela from reprising the role for some time.

Ooh! I wish I was with you. When we went to see Clue the stage revolved. It was a lot of fun. The actors would go through a door or secret passage while the stage spun and come out in another room.

My first books of his were the Del Rey H.P. Lovecraft paperbacks with the awesome Michael Whelan's Lovecraft's Nightmare art on the covers.

Excellent, I didn't know there was any basis of truth to the story such as an actual trip by Houdini to Egypt. I also didn't know anything about the connections of Houdini to Weird Tales. Under the Pyramids was the first H.P. Lovecraft tale I think I was exposed to. Fascinating to read its history.

Did H.P. Lovecraft's 1924 story Imprisoned with the Pharoahs ghostwritten as Harry Houdini who in 1910 finds himself on an adventure in Egypt even he can't escape from, come from holding a relic from an ancient civilization? I know when I hold my ushabti my imagination reels under the weight of time

Must be rare I didn't know any Gremlins slide puzzles existed.
November 18, 2025 at 4:14 PM
I like the Earl Norem covers for the Savage Sword of Conan.

What does the Gremlins one look like?

Release the Kraken! Some films should never be remade.

My brother has a 1987 Flipsiders game that ripped of the art for their Dragon Master cassette.
November 18, 2025 at 4:52 AM
It is my favorite of the ones I have.
November 18, 2025 at 4:48 AM
The only modern thing I have with the art on it is a lunchbox that I use to hold my dice.
November 18, 2025 at 4:43 AM
I got the stamps but gave them to my brother. He has a framed Ancient Red print on his wall signed by Larry Elmore.

The real answer is that any character facing off against a red dragon at the basic level 1-3 is doomed. The fate of the warrior is shown on the 1983 sliding puzzle. His skeleton rests on the dragon's golden hoarded treasure mound. 6/6
November 18, 2025 at 4:25 AM
Back to the original question, what happened to that brave warrior facing off against the dragon? One theory has been floated that the fighter on the Basic set progresses to Expert, Companion, then Master level, before becoming Immortal showning progression of the character on the BECMI boxes 5/?
