Terri Treas, as Roger's wife, Kelly, is very pretty and her daughter is a sweetheart, and there is Dabbs Greer, of all people, picking up a paycheck for a few minutes work (longer than Katt really) as Treas' pop, begging her to sell Roger's house and move back to Texas. But leaving behind her husband's memory is difficult.

The third House movie (The Horror Show isn't a sequel I recognize in this series, no matter what other distributors might think) goes the clichéd Haunted house route. Blood from showerheads and faucets, odd sounds, etc.

Melissa Clayton, as the daughter in the wheelchair, reminded me of Haim in Silver Bullet. There's a scene where she looks on at a couple of girls jumproping, yearning to walk again.

Manfredini's score is thankfully different than the similar sounding Friday the 13th strings and melody. It is melancholic and tragic, other times harmonious and idyllic in its sound. I quite liked it.

Just a fun little idea. A few keepsakes of the past.

Red Shoe Diaries - Safe Sex

 A rainy night in NYC, Joan Severance,  a fashion designer, is offered a ride in a taxi cab by fellow occupant, Stephen Bauer, who flirts with her, even providing his coat to "keep her warm" since her dress was damp and the night cold. Eventually the cab stops at Bauer's apartment complex, and he convinces Severance to come up to his flat. Eventually Bauer is seducing Severance, unable to resist her innermost desires and ready to just take him up on Tuesday and Thursday hookups, agreeing to nothing serious.  But can these "meetups and fuck" with no relationship talks continue or will real feelings and want for something more develop? When Severance's brother dies and she happens to spend the night, Bauer reiterates his displeasure in breaking the arrangement set up by them both. Zalman King's Red Shoe Diaries was, to me, a rather corny exercise in why so serious? softer-than-softcore Showtime Channel "entertainment". Rarely was I ever actuall

Wrapping up the Syfy Twilight Zone Marathon for New Year's Day 2023

So I did watch "King Nine Will Not Return", "The Man in the Bottle", "Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room" and "A Thing About Machines" during their live run Saturday, December 30, 2023. It was a rare deviation from watching the list of Syfy episodes as they were shown up until past Midnight after January 1st, 2024. I have fooled around with the idea of holding onto the Syfy episode list shown for the New Year's marathon and finishing it up this next weekend. It would be the first time I had recorded the entire Syfy episode marathon on the DVR (for YouTube TV) and watched a majority of it in order from start to finish if I decided to finish it this next weekend. I do admit that once the marathon is over it is like that excitement and nostalgic energy goes away. A little depression sets in actually. Since I was dealt with COVID during Christmas holidays, recovered and returned to myself, the Twilight Zone marathon was a big boost to my morale. S
