I’m sorry to hear that two-time Tony Award winner Frances Sternhagen has died. I can’t even name how many films & TV shows I’ve seen her in through the years. Terrific actor. R.I.P.

She was best-known to me for playing the grandmother of Dr. Carter on ER, but she clearly had an exceptional career overall.
Just don’t want someone who made the world a little better with their work forgotten with that other death today.

“A director said something so cruel to me once in rehearsal that I almost felt my blood freezing, but my brain told me to not let him see any reaction or effect from me. I was impassive and just waited for rehearsal to continue. I do this now with anyone rude or mean. What they want is your reaction. A reaction is their reward for their cruelty. They won’t get a reaction or a reward from me. I don’t get bothered much.”
—Frances Sternhagen/Interview with James Grissom

spooky tuesday is a (now not so new!) podcast where we’re breaking down all of our favorite slashers, thrillers, monster movies and black comedies on the new scariest day of the week.
february is all about the romance — and when you combine that with horror, too often you end up with something that looks a little more toxic. that’s why we’re dedicating these next few weeks to all things obsession, and we know just how to kick this theme month off. this week on spooky tuesday, we’re covering misery (1990), the kathy bates classic that introduced us to such famous phrases as “cock-a-doodie” and “bitchly cow corn.” and to help us discuss the movie all about what happens when fans go too far, we invited on aj, our #1 listener. what? it’s not like a little audience interaction ever hurt anyone before…
give spooky tuesday a listen on apple podcasts, spotify, iheart radio, or stitcher

Horror Movie of the Day: The Mist (2007)
It's a stormy day in the town of Bridgton, Maine. As a consequence, a tree falls over the lakeside house of artist David Drayton, where he lives with his wife and son. After gauging how bad the damage was, they realize they have to go for some supplies at the supermarket. But from the lake a strange mist draws in, and the entire town seems strangely in chaos. One that gets explained when strange otherworldly creatures start coming from that mist, anyone getting near them suffering a violent fate.
So trapped in the supermarket, tensions start to run high among the locals.
The Stephen King novella this film was based on served as a source of inspiration for games like Half-Life and Silent Hill which to say the least is quite telling. And this adaptation by Frank Darabont (who also worked on other King adaptations like The Shawsank Redemption and The Green Mile) completely runs with it's setup and expands upon the novella to create an actively unpleasant, bleak experience. Outside of the monsters, paranoia runs the show, and when you add religious fanaticism to the mix(a Stephen King staple) you're either going to be deeply disturbed or deeply irritated by Mrs. Carmody's character. It may be the point but it's honestly quite draining to watch.
The experience isn't helped by the visual effects either. While some shots look downright majestic, others plain don't blend well to the point the high concept doesn't quite save the overall presentation. It's still engaging, it just has some bumps in the road (it's recommended to watch the black and white cut to mitigate the problem, as it was the intended experience).
Besides, if the movie is remembered for something, that's got to be the ending. It simply makes up for everything: when even Stephen King himself agrees you outdid his job, you absolutely nailed it. It’s haunting, tragic, exceptionally cruel and powerfully encompasses the futility of a cosmic nightmare.
