I'm not up on horror pictures, either, but find it so droll that you include Maimed in their number. After living in NYC for half a century, I got to see a lot of classic era movie stars in person, and by far the scariest of them all was Lucille Ball. She looked great but she behaved like like one of the generals in Dr. Strangelove. Ball's other turn in the hagsploitation genre occurred in 1985 with the made for TV film Stone Pillow. Kate Hepburn escaped that curse just as she escaped being outed as a Lesbian for over 75 years. Cheers to you dear Mark, you're never too young to be eccentric, just ask Tallulah Bankhead.
