A mummy is stalking the nursing home and geriatric probably-Elvis (Bruce Campbell) and probably-not-JFK (Ossie Davis) have to fight him. High concept doesn't get much higher than in BUBBA HO-TEP (2002, D. Don Coscarelli). Here's our discussion.

With LEGEND (1985) director Ridley Scott set out to create a new fairy tale. The result is lavish, atmospheric, and deeply odd. Regardless, RIP the great Tim Curry, who makes this thing watchable.

Here's a really good essay on BACKROOMS by Thomas Flight. He also draws the clear connection to THE SHINING. #CineMastodon #film #monly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cdw9WcTdyU

I mention a couple of pieces of #scifi literature in the BACKROOMS episode that (for me at least) are precursors to the liminal spaces genre. Here's Thomas M. Disch's 1964 story "Descending." #film #monly https://lexal.net/scifi/scifiction/classics/classics_archive/disch/disch1.html
