I was prepared for Final Destination: Bloodlines to be the hilarious gore-fest that it invariably was. Delightfully meta at times with some artistic jump scares and tension.
What I could never have fully prepared for was Tony Todd's swan song.
I've adored this actor since Candyman. He's a giant of horror cinema, iconic and irreplaceable.
Seeing him talk about mortality and cancer, and say his farewell on screen, has brought my grief once more to the fore.
I never met you, Tony, but you are missed none the less.
Life is short...
It's time this was reblogged. For science.
This doesn’t really need a caption because I have no words left.

Last song: The Blood is the Love - Queens of the Stone Age. I'm having a renaissance of my recurrent lifelong vampire fixation after Nosferatu (I saw it twice on Imax) and rewatching Stakeout. I blame @varneysfangs and @spcvarney in part for this.
Fave color: Oxygenated blood red. None of that hypoxic stuff.
Last book I read: The Salt Grows Heavy - Cassandra Khaw. I regret not dressing as a historical plague doctor during COVID.
Last movie: The Monkey. Stephen King, you are a joy and a gift.
Last TV show: What We Do In The Shadows.
Relationship status: Happily married, and living with one small black cat.
Last google search: "Jungian Shadow" Yes, from That podcast.
Looking forward to: Last night of Stage/Fright. I'm in a box, but hopefully the view will be good.

But please complete if you wish to.
I'm in my 40s, and I feel like a teenager doing this... Not that I mind. The nostalgia is pleasing.
Thank you @varneysfangs
hello~ could anyone point me to the post where it's like a page from Insider's Guide to Inside No. 9, about the drawn out ~bloodsucking scene in The Stakeout & Guillem (and Steve?) being delighted at making Reece uncomfortable about that?? i'd love to rb it
How fitting that the next poll is on closing night of the Wyndham's run of Stage/Fright, it's almost as if I predicted it! (I didn't, but pretend I did so I seem really smart.)
This was such a close call the whole time, I can't believe it. In Poll 4 for the Reece characters, we are saying ta-ta to Jim, Maureen Sowerbutts, Gareth, and Damon. The (very late) winner is Brian! With Drew coming a close second! Both of which move onto the next heat of polls.
The next poll has another few very strong contenders, with Greg, Clive, Reece (from Dead Line), Neville Griffin, DI Barnabus Bull, and Gerry all fighting to come first and second.
