Happy birthday to Ray's oldest daughter Susan Marguerite, born on this day in 1949!

Happy birthday - and fangs for the memory - to Bram Stoker, born 165 years ago today and celebrated in today's Google Doodle:

As I do each year...wearing my Dracuala ring modeled after the one Bela wore and 4E owned.

Happy 98, Norman Lloyd!

...the man behind nearly all of Bradbury's ALFRED HITCHCOCK TV shows, as well as Hitch's most memorable saboteur.

A Claude Rains joke:

Who's that at the door?
The Invisible Man.
Well, tell him I can't see him.

Actually, I liked him very best of all in NOTORIOUS, which is Hitchcock's very best film of all. He was also pretty good as the ventriloquist in "And So Died Riabouchinska" on the Hitchcock TV show.
