It was okay until episode 4....I'll keep watching it, I think, because I'm now intrigued. Will report back. Takes me a while to get through any sort of series, as I sometimes watch only 1/2 episode an evening.

You do realize this is now going on my Netflix list. :devil:

Many years ago, during my first run a being a writer, I wrote a piece about a religious couple who witness to a mysterious young man, who turns out to be a vampire. He tells them that his kind are the "true Christians" because they are the ones who literally drank Christ's blood in their "communion" in order to get eternal life. In retrospect, it was a pretty clunky piece, consisting mostly of the vampire telling his backstory, and would have needed a serious overhaul for me to actually publish it.

I think it's probably something you might like for sure....
 
Just reading Seeler's earlier novel on a classic screwup situation ... seems so normal in a world that believes in perfection and can't find it ...

Certain elements in the literature being displaced ... and many couldn't care less! Yet go to church and profess they do ... yet we encourage the alternate fork to care without exhibiting much return or resonance in that special abyss ... a mindless function?

It is like books on dogs and hidden droppings ... the Dark Lass an Samson's failure ... he dropped off ... was the Lilith in it ... small essence of blossoming ...

After that strong sects ... all Jewels of clarity ... completely washed up ... shore things ?
 
Just learned that Mike Flanagan, the brains behind the Haunting series and Midnight Mass is to going to be taking another horror classic for Netflix: Edgar Allan Poe. The series will be titled The Fall of the House of Usher after one of my favorite Poe stories but will apparently draw on multiple works by Poe.

I'm impressed with Netflix overall right now, lots of good stuff. Squid Games, MAID, Midnight Mass is on my to watch list new season for You and Locke & Key (adults aren't the demographic, but the 1st season was worth watching!) Then there's also all the usual Halloween stuff , and I do not miss going to rent movies this time of year, always busy and not a lot of thriller/horror/,mystery available.
 
I watched the second season of Locke and Key and enjoyed it. It is full of action and will keep you on the edge of your seat.

I knew it was comic book based, had no clue about the author.

Yeah, he is pretty much set to be his father's successor at this point. Besides Locke and Key, there is the movie Horns starring Daniel Radcliffe based on an early Hill novel, a TV series based on his novel NOS 4A2, and the upcoming film The Black Phone from the team behind the Sinister movies.

I watched Horns I think when it first showed up on Netflix. It was a little too weird for me if I remember how I felt at the time correctly.
Read the wikipedia to refresh, yeah a bit on the weird side. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I was expecting it to be ... artsy?
Not what I was expecting for Netflix & Daniel Radcliffe at the time although I really couldn't tell you what he has done besides Harry Potter, and I only saw 1 movie, didn't get into the books.

I was looking at the picture of Joe Hill on the Wiki article about him and he is a dead ringer for his father at the same age.

I think I have mentioned this before, but "Hill" is derived from his middle name and he adopted it as a pen name at the beginning of his career because he wanted to succeed on his own merits, not ride Dad's coattails. IIRC, even Stephen wasn't told until Joe had his first professional sale.
