This movie is just 'the most' of everything for me - appealing to my love of literature, classic Gothic horror films, 1970s rock'n'roll, grand guignol/operatic stylization, twisted romance stories, camp surreality and blindsiding oneliners, biting black humour, unconventional-looking but charismatic actors, and the topic most relevant to me as an artist and student of audio engineering - the recording industry.<br /><br />Really bummed out that William "Winslow" Finley passed on - he was a great actor and seemed so sweet.

That was how I learned about the filming in downtown Dallas inside the old Majestic Theater.<br />What a crazy Summer that was.Scott L.

When he's trying to leave and the dude's trying to give him pills and he's being a diva...love it. <br /><br />And yeah, the Caligari bit always wows me. Looks so awesome, plus that song is mega catchy. <br /><br />So glad you dug it, I hoped its mix of...well, awesome things...would be up your alley.The Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09871017982169159144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-81132984531357319402011-08-02T10:47:53.876-04:002011-08-02T10:47:53.876-04:00Have you ever seen the Rocky Horror 'sequel...Have you ever seen the Rocky Horror 'sequel' Shock Treatment?
