HALLOWEEN SPOTLIGHT: BARBARA STEELE

Here's a macabre "mini doc" for the Halloween season, centered on the career of Gothic Horror legend, Barbara Steele. I've always wanted to piece something like this together, and this spooky time of year turned out to be the perfect opportunity. You're more than welcome to watch for my goofball cameo appearance, but fair warning -- if you blink, you'll probably miss it.

It is always a pleasure to hear speak to Barbara (it owns a surrounding voice), a good tribute to the goddess of the Dark.

@PolichinelaAzul Thanks so much for watching, I really appreciate it. I made this clip in hopes that all of the Barbara Steele fans out there would enjoy it. It's always a massive pleasure to hear from another worshipper of the immortal queen of horror.

ah, Barbara...nobody does it better....nice

[gothling1955]

Yes, she's definitely one of a kind. Thanks for watching.

i finally got here and this is very cool! she sounds so sinister and dusky in the audio and your choice of images accented that so well. kudos to youdos!

[gothling1955]

Thanks, Catherine. Yeah, I wanted to feature that audio of Barbara Steele speaking because in so many of her EuroHorror flicks, they ended up having other actresses dub her lines -- maybe to save money, they'd just grab up someone who was already under contract to do the job. When she angrily walked off of that Elvis Presley movie in America and was told she'd never work again, who knew that she'd wind up going to Rome & becoming the queen of screams? :-)

Barbara Steele is a great actress!  I think I have seen every movie she has been in. Check out my video tribute to her.

P.S. With apologies to Julie, I did my own response to DIRTY SOCK! I just haven't stuck it into a video yet. "You'll see...", he said ominously.

[gothling1955]

Yes, you silly man. YOU inspired THAT, along with Bob. For your part, I took the notion of "everything is funnier looking when played faster" for my cameo appearance, along with the general idea of a presentation which starts out appearing on-the-level, but contains something which blows its seemingly serious cover. And also in the way you (like Bob) have put all of this obvious work into these amazingly cool Halloween-themed uploads. But hey, it all really started for me with DIRTY SOCK! ;-)

I inspired THAT? Bob, I can see. He inspires a lot of my videos.  It was great! I have a few of the Italian / Barb Steele movies around here, too.
