Muriel's Musings: Oct 19-21, 2011

This week’s big story from Muriel-land is that Dennis Cozzalio turned his blog over to one Dr. Phibes, who unleashed his latest horror upon the world- a brand new, bone chilling quiz! It’s enough to make one scream, especially if one is as busy as I am. But this time I’ll try to find time for it, if only to celebrate the centenary of the late Mr. Price.

In other news:

Andrew Bemis trembled at his memories of an African-American urban legend, Muriel’s favorite mop-topped psycho, and the split-personality case from Session 9.

Scott Black got his horror on with Return of the Living Dead.

Sean Burns recapped Week 1 of the Philly Film Fest and harbored little love for Take Shelter.

Go ahead, take a look at Jim Emerson’s latest post. I dare ya.

James Frazier gave pretty good odds to 50/50.

Kenji Fujishima Occupied Wall Street. Strictly for research purposes, of course.

Glenn Heath checked out Weekend and Take Shelter.

Craig Kennedy announced the AFI Festival Main slate and World Cinema lineup and the Gotham Awards nominations (http://livingincinema.com/2011/10/20/gotham-nominations-unleash-the-awards-hounds/), plus previewed this weekend’s goodies, took a look at Paranormal Activity With a Vengeance and Oranges and Sunshine, quoted Don Siegel’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and Cronenberg’s The Fly, posted trailers for Black Gold and The Woman in Black, and somehow found time to eat and/or sleep. Amazing!

Uncle Crizzle reviewed the new Johnny English movie and linked to a bunch of soul-centric pieces he’s written. Oh, and if you dig curvy ladies- and really, why wouldn’t you?- the Criz delivered on that front too.

Phil Nugent had a busy week for the AV Club.

Bryan Whitefield relayed some reflections on Method Man and bought some new luggage.

And Alison Willmore reviewed Klitschko and Margin Call.

Finally, the trailer for another Doctor movie starring Vincent Price. This one’s decidedly lighter than Dr. Phibes, but who knows? Perhaps Dennis will give this doctor a shot a quiz sometime in the future:
