Night Gallery, --- "Lindemann's Catch,"...

I loved :lindeman's Catch," --- a gothic mermaid tale that has stayed with me for years!!! >>> “Lindemann’s Catch,” written by Rod Serling and directed by Jeff Corey... Set in what we’re led to presume is a seaport in New England somewhere, the tale opens one night in a dockside tavern, where all the old salts are boozing it up and taking a breather in between onerous excursions in their fishing boats. A local man and bar regular named Abner Suggs (Harry Townes) offers to tell fortunes for all and sundry, using his array of soothsaying items, but everyone seems to be pretty much ignoring him. Enter the titular Captain Lindemann, played by Stuart Whitman, who coincidentally also turned up in a 1964 movie called Shock Treatment that I recently reviewed. The grizzled old coot is clearly not a people person, and waxes on about how miserable the life of a fisherman is, and how he knows that it will eventually be the death of him. His monologue is great, by the way, and really sells his character as a world-weary sourpuss who loathes his own existence. Abner attempts a friendly conversation with the old sailor, talking about his predictions, and it’s obvious that this is a regular occurrence, because within minutes, Lindemann has decided he’s had enough of the fortuneteller’s shit for one evening and slaps the ever-loving piss out of him. A cowed, bloody-lipped Abner laments that Lindemann has no love in him for anything or anybody. Shortly afterward, some of the other sailors give a shout from outside, and everyone rushes out to the dock to see what the commotion is. They’re all staring in wonder into Lindemann’s boat, but at first, the audience can’t see what they’re all looking at. Lindemann takes a gander in there too and starts screaming his beardy little head off. So it turns out that apparently unbeknownst to him, Lindemann has caught an honest-to-goodness mermaid in his fishing net. The beautiful creature is in noticeable distress, unable to speak and simply reaching out to the men as if pleading for help. Almost immediately, the sailors start planning on selling her to a traveling carnival for a tidy profit (classy), but an enraged Lindemann is appalled, basically calling her an affront to all that’s good and holy and vowing that he’s going to kill her. Bit of an overreaction, I reckon, but he is portrayed as a hateful old curmudgeon, so probably not surprising. The other guys are able to talk Lindemann out of his murderous impulses for the time being, though they still seem to be scheming about how they’re gonna spirit the mermaid away to sell her before she inevitably dies. We then skip ahead a couple of days, and it’s revealed that not only is the mermaid still in the hold of Lindemann’s boat, but Lindemann himself hasn’t been seen since the night he caught her. Now, you might be thinking that Lindemann had a change of heart and discovered he was all about the fish-lovin’ and I guess you’d at least partially be right, though this isn’t stated explicitly. Lindemann at last emerges from his boat and into the tavern, begging the town doctor (Jack Aranson) to administer some medicine to the mermaid because she’s dying. The doctor reasonably argues that the mermaid belongs in the sea and that maybe Lindemann should, y’know, put her back, but Lindemann seems to have fallen in love with the creature and refuses to let her go, claiming that he and she have been communicating without words (which probably means exactly what you think it does). Abner hears about the poor captain’s predicament, and wouldn’t you know it, but amid his vast collection of tarot cards, crystals, potions, and tinctures, he just happens to have a concoction that should (theoretically) turn the mermaid into a human woman. Why Abner would possess a magic elixir for this very specific and, I would imagine, unusually rare problem is never explained, but a desperate Lindemann doesn’t question it; he just gives the blue tonic to the creature (offscreen) and hopes for a miracle. And at first, it would appear that he’s gotten one. He climbs down into the hold the next morning and is delighted to see a pair of shapely and very human gams sticking out from under the blanket where previously there was naught but a scaly fish tail. So elated he doesn’t even bother to pull the blanket away, he rushes back up on deck to tell the other sailors what’s happened. Well, because this is a horror story and because Lindemann very pointedly did NOT peek under the blanket, you can probably guess where this is going. The former mermaid staggers up from the hold on her unsteady human legs, but it’s quickly revealed that the potion has transformed her into something of a butterface, because her upper half (well, mostly just her head) is now a fish. She makes a couple fishy faces at the men, staring at them with her bulbous fishy eyes, before jumping back into the sea, no doubt to be rejected as a mutant by her mermaid brethren. A heartbroken Lindemann leaps in after her, and presumably drowns, as the men are seen later that night throwing a black wreath onto the surface of the water. While “Lindemann’s Catch” was pretty ponderously paced, it had spooky atmosphere for days, and Stuart Whitman’s performance as Captain Lindemann was outstanding. Once he gave the mermaid the change-up juice, it was very obvious how the story was going to end, but I didn’t mind that a bit, and the fish face effect, while clearly low budget, was actually fairly effective. --- IMDb.

David Bowie Being Gracefully Beautiful and Sexy in His Talented Prime as the Goblin King & Michael Motion...

In the 1986 musical fantasy film Labyrinth, Jareth, portrayed by David Bowie, is the Goblin King and the main antagonist. He rules over a magical realm of goblins and has the power to shape-shift into a white barn-owl. Jareth kidnaps the protagonist Sarah Williams’ baby brother, Toby, and challenges Sarah to navigate his labyrinth within thirteen hours to rescue him. He is characterized as clever, charming, and seductively manipulative, using both magical obstacles and psychological tactics to test Sarah. The character was designed by Jim Henson and Brian Froud, with Bowie's performance and musical contributions making Jareth an iconic figure in fantasy cinema. >>> Haaaaaaaaa!!!... And, all he wants is your life!!! >>> >>> The Labyrinth soundtrack was a collaboration between David Bowie and composer Trevor Jones. Jones wrote the film’s main instrumental score, which included six tracks such as Into the Labyrinth, Sarah, Hallucination, The Goblin Battle, Thirteen O’Clock, and Home at Last. . Bowie, meanwhile, penned the lyrics and music for five songs. Jim Henson, the film’s director, approached Bowie in 1983 to star as Jareth the Goblin King and to create music for the movie. . Bowie agreed and wrote these songs: Underground (the film’s theme song), Magic Dance, Chilly Down (performed by the Fire Gang voice actors), and As the World Falls Down ...And, Michael Motion, --- as close to magick that I have ever seen in reality, done without special effects! ASTOUNDING!!! >>>

Janet & Tam Lin, ---- a Love story of Hallowmas...

Wednesday, September 28, 2016 Janet & Tamlin, The Faerie Knight...

Tamlin or Tamlane is an old Celtic name that means "Faerie Knight". Tamlin was said to haunt the well at Carterhaught. Janet was a lovely young woman and a curious and adventurous one. Of course, she started to hang around Carterhaught. And, of course, she met the infamous Tamlin. He was everything people said he was, - more handsome than any man she had ever seen, captivating, sinister, - absolutely fascinating!

Janet could not stay away. She fell in love with Tamlin. Eventually, she found that she was pregnant. She was afraid to tell her family. But, she did tell Tamlin. He was sympathetic, for he too, was very much in love. But, he told her, honestly, there was little hope for their love... Little hope, - UNLESS Janet was very, very brave. "What?," Janet said. "Tell me!" "You must do exactly what I say," Tamlin told her, " --- EXACTLY!!!" The look in Tamlin's beautiful clear gray eyes told her that this was a terribly urgent matter. "This Hallowmas Eve is the time of the seven year tribute to hell that the faeries are required to make. They do not want to sacrifice one of their own, so I have been chosen as the offering." "What? What? But, I thought you were a faerie!," Janet said. "No, no, my darling Janet. I am a human in disguise of a faerie knight. I am really the third son of a great lord. I was captured years ago by the faeries while I was hunting alone. But, here is what you must do... You must go to the path that leads out of Carterhaught Woods at midnight on All Hallowmas Eve. The faerie queen and her company will be passing by there on the way to the sacrifice site. I will be riding a white horse, and the last in their procession. You must boldly approach and run to me, drag me down from my saddle and fiercely hold onto me. Do not, --- DO NOT let me go, --- NO MATTER WHAT, for the faerie queen will use terrible spells to get you to release me!... As you love me, Janet, as you deeply love me, do not let me go!... HOLD ME FAST AND IF YOU DO I WILL BE RELEASED FROM MY BONDAGE TO THE FAERIES AND I WILL BE YOUR'S FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES! Do you understand fully, Janet?" Tamlin's beautiful eyes were so intense. Janet shook her head. "Yes, yes, -YES! I WILL DO EXACTLY AS YOU SAY, Tamlin!" Tamlin nodded, grimly. And, he left.

At midnight on Hallowmas Eve Janet waited in the brush on the side of the path. She was trembling with fear and anticipation, BUT, very, very determined to save Tamlin. She saw the magnificent faerie procession passing. She saw the last rider, Tamlin, on his white horse. Swiftly, she jumped out of hiding and snatched Tamlin down from his saddle. She held onto him with all her might, burying her face in his shoulder. Instantly, the faerie queen was beside them, staring down at them in great anger. She screeched, and Tamlin became an enormous bear who tore at Janet with teeth and claws. He positively shredded her skin, but Janet held Tamlin fast. Then, the faerie queen shrieked again and Tamlin became a huge serpent who began to squeeze the life out of Janet. She gasped, hardly able to breathe, but she would not let him go. Then, finally, the faerie queen yelled tremendously loud and Tamlin became a red hot bar that burned Janet's chest, arms and hands raw, BUT, Janet still held to him. The faerie queen roared in anger, because her spells had failed and there, still in Janet's arms, was the still magnificently handsome but human Tamlin. All Janet's hurts were immediately healed and she was whole, because the injuries had been illusions. Janet threw her cloak around the shuddering and almost fainting Tamlin, and looked up defiantly at the faerie queen. "YOU HAVE TAKEN FROM ME THE FINEST KNIGHT IN ALL MY COMPANY!!!," the faerie queen screamed. "I WISH I HAD PLUCKED OUT HIS FAIR EYES!!! HE IS YOUR'S!!! THE SPELL IS BROKEN, BROKEN BY LOVE!!!" And, with that said, she and her company disappeared in fire an d smoke, leaving Janet and Tamlin alone on the path.

The Faeries of Samhain Eve...

Irish mythology describes several notable “fairies” that appear on Samhain Eve or Halloween night: Púca (Pooka) – A shape‑shifting fairy, often a black horse with fiery eyes, or sometimes a goat, cat, or donkey. The púca could lure people with its voice and take them on dangerous rides. . Banshee – A female spirit (“bean síde” = “fairy woman”) whose shriek signaled an impending death. . Sidhe – “Fairies of the mound,” living in fairy forts; they appeared at moonlit gatherings and could play tricks or harm those who disturbed them. . Water Horse – A deceptive, beautiful horse in rivers or lakes that could drag victims into the water. . the Coach – A death‑omening vehicle that, once it came to Earth, could never return empty. >>> . Behavior and Danger: According to Celtic belief, fairies could... Dance with ghosts and play pranks. Spoil crops, cause bad weather, or kidnap people to fairyland. Lure travelers with music or appearances, then harm them. >>> To protect themselves, the Celts lit bonfires, wore animal‑skinned costumes, and left offerings to keep the fairies away.
