edgar, thanks again for your comments, and euroGeorge your reply to edgar's Bikini beginning was funny. I saw Kurt Russel's The Thing. A dog was the culprit. Still like The James Arness version cause I had a shoulder that was hurting and James took my mind off the pain. I wanted to do that one by Joan because it had "ghost" in it.
Don't know Little Green Bag euro, so thanks for the introduction.
Brit, Love all your Motown contributions, especially Natty Dread.
This has got to be Edgar Allan Poe month. Where is Roberto?
Saying goodnight with The Fall of the House of Usher.

Vincent Price was fantastic. Still like the original version of The Fly, too.
Basic plot of the short story by Poe.
As Roderick predicted, Madeline soon dies. At least we think so. All we know is that Roderick tells the narrator she’s dead, and that she appears to be dead when he looks at her. Of course, because of her catalepsy, she might just look like she’s dead, post-seizure. Keep that in mind. At Roderick’s request, the narrator helps him to entomb her body in one of the vaults underneath the mansion. While they do so, the narrator discovers that the two of them were twins and that they shared some sort of supernatural, probably extrasensory, bond.
About a week later, on a dark and stormy night, the narrator and Usher find themselves unable to sleep. They decide to pass away the scary night by reading a book. As the narrator reads the text aloud, all the sounds from the fictional story can be heard resounding from below the mansion. It doesn’t take long for Usher to freak out; he jumps up and declares that they buried Madeline alive and that now she is coming back. Sure enough, the doors blow open and there stands a trembling, bloody Madeline. She throws herself at Usher, who falls to the floor and, after "violent" agony, dies along with his sister. The narrator flees; outside he watches the House of Usher crack in two and sink into the dark, dank pool that lies before it.
Goodnight, yawl. So great having Dublin and London with us today. If I missed anyone, I'm certain that you'll forgive the resident witch.
From Letty with love to the world.
