Is it haunted?

The House, gorgeous yet haunting, is an episode of Rod Serling's Night Gallery that's truly a work of art. Starring the lovely Joanna Pettet, an actress so beautiful she makes me ache for the seventies, the circuitous dream of this haunted house infects the mind like a computer virus. Pettet stars in a couple of other episodes of the Night Gallery, so I'll be sure to admire her in those when I find them. Her wispy flowing hair and wardrobe reminds me of an angelic mermaid. She's a breath of fresh air after seeing Serling introduce the story, more troll-like than ever with his post-Beatles mop hairstyle. Thank heavens he could write such brilliant stories.

Not only do you get a gorgeous girl, and a great story, collectible car enthusiasts will love seeing the pristine red convertible in this video.

Right now, you can watch the full episode free on NBC:

Postscript: Not sure, but I think that car is a 1969-70 Chrysler 300 convertible like this one I found on eBay:

Top 5 TV Villains of 2010 - Part 5

Last but not least of my top five villains is Darken Rahl from Terry Goodkind's Legend of the Seeker. Sauvely portrayed by Craig Parker, he managed to stay perfectly groomed within a hellish underworld as the Keeper's number one servant (Why not list the Keeper as the villain?

Darken Rahl, a classic serial villain, is so elegantly casual about doing evil that perhaps some of the drama of the situation is lost, but he's definitely part of what makes the show fun to watch. Now that he's managed to escape the Keeper and return to the living, he has more to lose. Sadly, it seems Legend of the Seeker has...

Eat My Dust

DUST is a new science fiction channel that's getting a lot of my attention right now. Well, I call it a channel, but it's not really a television channel, more like a YouTube channel. But they do currently have a programming slot on the TBD television channel, if that matters. According to DUST, they publish new sci-fi short films on Thursday and Saturday. That's amazing, and it confirms what I've heard about there being more films out there than I will ever have time to watch. One thing causes me to wonder, though: Why do they call it "Dust?" Maybe it's a reference to the E.S.P. drug from Babylon 5. Or maybe it's intentionally reminiscent of the science fiction masterpiece, Dune . And when I say Dune is a masterpiece, I'm talking about the original novel, not the movie. However, David Lynch's Dune had some fantastic masterful scenes, and everyone in the production demonstrated mastery in their field. The set designs and costumes were outst...
