I was going to see this movie, Visual Acoustics, featuring a Q&A with the director on Thursday. But now I have to be at work because ...etc. God.


Let's focus on the positive. On Friday I'll drive on home to That Gilded State and hopefully, if I'm lucky, just sit on my parents' back porch for a week straight. The back porch, and a trip to Whitfield. I've never been? The 1982 thriller The Beast Within was filmed there. A pubescent boy turns into a cicada monster on an unused floor of our state asylum. While patients strolled by. Here's another link: Warning!

The director of The Beast Within said that there were no less than 80 patients in the Whitfield cannibal ward in 1982. He said this last night at a screening of the film for the Alamo's Terror Tuesdays, and I yelled "that is a LIE" from my seat in the audience.

But... It is. Isn't it?
