...butcher. She slips it into her pocket. Later a police inspector tells her that the woman had been killed only moments before the teacher found the body. Clearly the butcher meant the woman's death as a signal, and the teacher accepts it as such. But instead of fright, she feels a strange excitement that makes her lead the killer...
...near-strangulation budget and schedule ($500,000 and 25 shooting days). The plots, usually lifted from some Victorian romancer like Bram Stoker or Sheridan Le Fanu, are as creaky as the doors of Castle Dracula. The starlets who flit through prehistoric landscapes or quaint Transylvanian villages, bosoms heaving with fright, seem as interchangeable as the sets...
...speaker on the dais of Bal Harbour's Americana Hotel last week was nervous, and he showed it in a shaky voice and several misplaced words.

"Where Do We Go From Here?," "Smoke Signal," and "Shoot Out in Chinatown" are all good rock and roll, but no much better really than "Cracklin' Rosie" or any other Neil Diamond song. "4 per cent Pantomime" starts off well, but gets bogged down by the presence of Van Morrison, who seems drunker than usual and postures absurdly for much of the song. Most...
