Baby Jane



I actually watch horror films all the time. If I'm up late working, and not listening to music, I've got a horror film on in the background. But there are those films out there that have such phenomenal portrayals...the actors or actresses are at the height of their abilities, that it is a genuine joy to watch them....in some cases come unraveled. Such is the case with Betty Davis in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane. Although Joan Crawford as her seemingly victimized sister, does a great job...It's Ms. Davis's portrayal of Baby Jane Hudson that steals the show. If you've never seen the film, I shudder to think, do yourself a favor...watch it.

  1. This and "Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte " were my first horror films. I actually remember hiding from the screen! Damn fine job Jim.

  2. This was one of my first horror movies too. Few songs will ever be creepier than "Writing a Letter to Daddy"
