Happy Spooky Month! For the whole of October the site will showcase a spooky theme. I will also try my best to review four scary, creepy and frightning films, one every week!

This week we take a look at The Little Shop of Horrors (1960), a dark comedy that was popularized by it's re-imagined musical remake in 1986.

No review this time, just some site bugfixes. I am working on a special new look for Talkie Crank during October. I have also been wasting my time on another web-based interactive project I'd like done for October. Also been reading (as in analogue books) and working. Will push for a review next week.

Your site is such a nice idea! It makes me tell myself, "gee, I should read more!" In fact, think I'll pick up my current read now :)

Thanks! I reviewed George A. Romero and Daniel Kraus's novel, The Living Dead, a couple of years ago and found out a bit about Night of the Living Dead. Through negligence the copyright for the film was lost and Romero remade it in the 90s because of that. I thought the remake expressed the racial aspects of the story well. I think your site is an interesting idea. I love old movies and movies in general. Well done!

This week's film is "The Day The Earth Stood Still". There is also a bundle of new site features, notably the redesigned Cast page! See the changelog page for all the details.
New review of "The Lost World" is online! https://talkiecrank.neocities.org/the-lost-world
I used to watch silent films with my sons when they were in primary school. It was great because we could talk about what was happening, and they grew up with a tolerance for black and white and old films. I read The Lost World Years ago. It was also one of the silent films my boys loved. A good choice for your website!
