The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976)
Been wanting to see this one for years. It was a bit campier than I thought it was going to be. And slow. But I am glad I finally caught it.
Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
Yeah. I have seen this one a few hundred times. Nothing beats seeing it in a theater full of fans, but HBO has had it on today.
Frankenstein: The True Story (1973)
A three-hour made for TV epic featuring Jane Seymour. One of the first Frankenstein movies I ever saw. Still a lot of fun and I surprised by how much I can remember of it.
So. Confession time. I have never seen the first Evil Dead movie in its entirety. Seen Army of Darkness dozens of times. Evil Dead 2 once back in college. But the first? Never all the way through.
Well, that now ended this weekend. Encore had them all on and I made a marathon of them.
I knew the stories of course. Plus I worked on the Army of Darkness core book back in the day so I knew the background. But that is not the same thing really.
Watched Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. Wonder why I had never watched them all like this before.
Total cheats on my part. I have seen these both so many times, but there are so much fun.
The special effects look a little dated, but I still love them.
These movies fueled a lot of game ideas that's for certain.
Doing some research for my day job and I came across Diigo. It's a social bookmarking site that allows users to bookmark and share websites, pages, articles and so on. There is more to it than that, but I am just getting going on it.
I thought it might be fun to create a group where we could all share various OSR and RPG blogs and sites. There is very little RPG on Diigo so far (at least what I could find) so this would be helpful.
To that end I created a group and I am inviting everyone to join and link your sites or site you like.
Right now there is only me.
I am on a free account but I am likely to upgrade to a full professional account if this works half as nice as I hope. Once I do that then the group will have some more features.
I have added some blogs. Mostly those from my own blogroll starting from the bottom up, but I would love it if you all added your own and commented on the ones added. Just keep it nice, we are community here.
You can even add this to your own blog or website.

I know we have sites out there that list all of these blogs, but this is something we can all contribute to and help maintain.
Plus it is kind of fun.
Edited to add: I just discovered I can "auto-post" from Diigo to here. So as we add things an automated posting can go out say every Sunday.
