I certainly can't let Halloween go by without posting a couple of paintings by legendary horror artist, BASIL GOGOS. Above is JONATHAN FRID as BARNABAS COLLINS, from TV and film's DARK SHADOWS, painted for the cover of FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND #59, 1969. Below is BORIS KARLOFF as the FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER, from THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, painted for the cover of the CD, ROB ZOMBIE presents THE WORDS AND MUSIC OF FRANKENSTEIN.

VIC MIZZY
I'm sad to report the passing of legendary composer, VIC MIZZY. MIZZY, who passed away today at 93, wrote some of the most catchy theme songs for television and film, including THE ADDAMS FAMILY, GREEN ACRES, THE GHOST AND MR. CHICKEN, THE RELUCTANT ASTRONAUT and more. I had the pleasure of meeting VIC MIZZY at the old CREATURE FEATURES store in Burbank, CA in the late 1990s.
