Rather than posting something scary this Halloween, I thought I'd share some fun old publicity photos featuring film actresses; most of them famous, a few obscure. The one thread being that a pumpkin must be in the photo along with the "cheesecake." (I made an exception for Miss Janet Leigh, however. I mean, come on, she was in one of the scariest films ever and her daughter starred in Halloween!) It's a chance to see some of these ladies in a different light. (For some reason, no matter what I did, I couldn't get the one with Barbara Bates and friend to have orange typeface. I finally gave up on it!) The last photo was just a sort of hooty old clipping I found that happened to also feature a pumpkin and, with no other place to share it, I've tacked it on here. Have a fun and safe Halloween!

"Thank you for your nice message, and for the link to your blog. I had actually seen your blog before - a friend showed it to me a year or two ago. You clearly have an intense and wonderful passion for cult and genre cinema... Thank you for joining my page, and for sharing your passion for EARTHQUAKE and other films of that remarkable era in our industry. My husband would have gotten a huge kick out of it! With love, Monica"-- Monica Lewis Tribute to Monica
"I just discovered your profile about me and my career. I was flattered and very happy with the photos (some I had never seen) and your talented style of writing. As a gesture of thanks, I would like to send you a signed copy of my book. I think you would enjoy it. So if you would like one or a signed photo, let me know with an address I can send it to. - Sincerely, Mark Goddard" (via e-mail) Tribute to Mark
