“Over the Tavern had very good ideas and I liked how it was about a rebellious kid in the 1950’s,” said Devin VanDyke a student from UW FDL.
I truly could not even favor one character over the other; they are all stars in my book. Lindsey Talbot, who played Ellen Pazinski, was lovely. Ellen is down to earth, funny, and light-hearted mother. I believe the audience really felt for her and could also really relate to Talbot.

November and December have excessive gorging and riot-shopping; January has the returning of gifts you have no use for. Before spring comes, some Americans like to learn about the past. February is notorious for more than answering the question of when spring will be coming and the consummation of many children, it’s a time for focusing on ethnic history.

I walked the balcony studying the faces of all the soldiers who had given their lives, searching for two in particular. It was on a panel in the lower right corner of the exhibit where I finally found the small simple photos of Sergeant Andrew Wallace and Specialist Michael Wendling.

Vincent Price at His Best
The Halloween season is upon us, and as October arrives, networks begin airing those favorite films featuring crowd pleasers such as Freddy and Jason in various marathons."

So, in the spirit of the season, I give you six films starring Vincent Price for this Halloween season.
