cyrano: (Asskicking Boots)
I'm trying to put together a group of plays that relate to Shakespeare, but only one of which (I'm thinking either Comedy of Errors or Twelfth Night) to actually be Shakespearean, to submit as a themed season for a local playing company. It's still Friday in California so as IFIAYAQD! I ask you to add to this list:
I Hate Hamlet
Rosencranz and Guildenstern Are Dead
Equivocation
(I'm considering buying copies of The Dresser, Hamlet II, and William Shakespeare's Land of the Dead, as well as possibly Actor's Nightmare and David Ives's one act "Words Words Words".)

Also, to brag, there was a quiz to name all of Shakespeare's plays and I got 33 out of 38.

Remember back when scary movies scared you, as opposed to the cinematic equivalent of your friend walking up behind you and honking on an air horn? Yeah, so does Hammer Films. That's right, punks, HAMMER FILMS. Gore and sex. Frankenstein. Dracula. The Mummy. Peter Cushing. Christopher Lee. Daniel Radcliffe. Yeah, for those of you who somehow missed it, Harry Potter is out again, without his magic wand. And aside from the occasional over the top moment, the cast is quite good.
The film is creepy, atmospheric, the villagers are appropriately sullen and evasive. There are very few Scare Notes, and most of them are done without the score's assistance. I had significant quantites of gooseflesh, and the ending was definitely a surprise.
Four ectoplasmic wags of vengeance from beyond the grave.
