tune in, turn on, drop dead.

Oh man, loving the Rue Morgue website makeover. They've added lots of brilliantly illustrated B-movie inspired touches, like eyeballs on stalks, disembodied Franken-hands and wolfmen... ♥!

I think my whole obsession with America and Americana is going to slowly hone itself into an obsession with 50s/60s America B-movie and drive-in theatre culture. I'm sure I have an unrealistic and ill-informed view of all this stuff, but nonetheless it fascinates me and I simply bloody adore the aesthetic of it.

  1. HOORAY! A new blog for me to read. I love the layout, the photo of the cupcake reminds me of how yummy they were.
    I'm obsessed with the whole 50s/60s setting in films too, Shia as Mutt in Indiana Jones just awoke the dormant passion! We simply MUST watch Fido, and have that greaser night sometime too!

  2. Hello you! We could have a B-movie night too maybe?! With 'The Blob' and other such drive-in delights! I watched a Cribs episode the other day and Joey Fatone from Backstreet Boys has his own person drive-in theatre in his garden. Bastard!
    The adrenaline rush from the fear is kind of addictive, I think... It's the whole rollercoaster "I like this! / I don't like this!" thing.
