Incoming

Got some free cards from Tom, of Angels in Order fame.  Let's take a goose. 



- Alomar and Mattingly are from a limited edition 7-11 / Citgo set.

-  Cal without the Jr. tag.  Wonder when that started.  

-  Bernie RC.




-  That's a Dominator RC.  


Thanks, Tom.

Last Call for Cards


I'm looking to move a stack of football cards:  rookies in shorts and post-retirement cards.  The rookies were good players: Joe Haden, Derrick Brooks, etc.  The retired guys are mostly Donruss, with a few Hall of Fame induction cards and a couple Classics Legends. 


Anyway, make your predictions for Sunday Night Football between the Eagles and Packers.

Halloween and Horror Movies

The line between Halloween and horror can be a bit blurry at times.  So I combined the two into one list.

Based on a Stephen King short story about a cursed hotel room.













Blair Witch Project:  Heather Donahue.  

Found footage from a documentary crew that vanished in the Maryland woods.  Cost less than $1 million to make.  Box office of $248 million. 













Bug:  Ashley Judd, Michael Shannon.  

Based on a Tracy Letts play.  Psychological horror.  

Also with Harry Connick Jr.     




 









Corpse Bride:  Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Depp.  

Stop motion animation.  A groom-to-be accidentally marries a deceased woman.  

Also with Tracey Ullman and Emily Watson.

Sci-fi horror.   Six strangers are locked in a maze with deadly traps and have to find a way out. 

 











Dracula:  Winona Ryder, Gary Oldman.  

Based on a Bram Stoker novel.  The guy with weird teeth goes to England, where weird teeth are accepted.

Also with Dianne Wiest.
