A lobby card from the 1932 movie, Edgar Allan Poe’s Murders in the Rue Morgue starring Bela Lugosi as Dr. Mirakle. I’m digging deep into the archives for some special somethings to tide you all over while I’m on vacation overseas. Movie posters!

For one thing, it looks like her book, “Who Killed Amanda Palmer” has sold out (although there are copies on sale still on Amazon.) In addition, she and Neil Gaiman are a couple. She gets a least 500 internet points for that.
Amanda Palmer does not have an Animal Hat
Mmmmmm The Mummy with the lovely Zita Johann. Also starring Boris Karloff as the mummy. I’m digging deep into the archives for while I’m on vacation overseas. Movie posters!

I can hear the moaning from my attic lair already. “Luna Lovegood!?!” you ask? Well to be honest, the choice was between Luna Lovegood and Bellatrix LeStrange. Let’s talk about the finer points. Bellatrix is crazy, dangerous and loves to scream about how she killed this or that person, and that’s fine. She also cuts a great pose with her mad eyes and crazy hair.
BUT…
Luna Lovegood has an Animal Hat
I know. I know. She’s about 200 years too young for me, but let’s be serious: Luna Lovegood is Really Weird. She has a name that really belongs to the deadly romance interest in a James Bond movie. She sees things that other people don’t. She doesn’t freak out at the sight of blood. She talks about weird things all the time. (Hm. She’s sounding a lot like all my exes.) To Harry Potter and the world, she is a secret sharer and an anchor in that dark place where nothing makes sense. She also has an animal hat and looks like a fairy. MMMMMMM. Yes, sometimes that marginalized strange girl who “sees things” turns out to be right in the end.
Besides, those funny glasses make me confused and excited. Hey lady, why don’t you look my way? Have you seen too much with those x-ray eyes?
