Barbara Shelley has passed away, at the age of 88, as a result of covid related complications. May she rest in peace.

I remember her best from various Hammer films. To me, her role as Helen in Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966) was very memorable; I loved it, and recommend the film.

Thanks to Svengoolie, I’ve seen her in The Shadow of the Cat (1961), and Village of the Damned (1960). I loved her in The Gorgon (1964) (which was also on Svengoolie last year, I think).

In 2010, she was interviewed by Mark Gatiss for his series A History of Horror; having seen that at the time, I recommend everything of that. I need to watch Rasputin: The Mad Monk (1966), Ghost Story (1974), and the miniseries The Dark Angel (aka Uncle Silas) (1989).

For Doctor Who fans, she was Sorasta, in 1984’s Planet of Fire.

In other news, sister got out of the hospital last night. And yesterday morning we got word that someone on Dad’s side of the family died. Due to our drama, he was unable to attend the wake (which would have been last night) or the funeral (which was this morning, in Louisiana). The florist we usually use for sending them something is temporarily closed due to the owner apparently being diagnosed with cancer. We eventually managed to find someone who would deliver there.

Meanwhile, Mom found Nellie’s room in the hospital. She’s only allowed ice chips now that it’s the end, but she’s still interested in slaughtering the nurses. She ordered Mom to bring her her mail—all three huge sacks of them, so she could mock the endless political things that had been stuffed in her mailbox. Mom complied.

On the Yuletide side of things, I just need to rewatch a couple more episodes of the show that I was assigned. I’ve come up with several ideas, and chunks that could go into the middle of the fanfic. I’m working on what I think the ending should be like, and a few other little, but important things, making sure I’ve got a handle on characterization, and then (since I’m currently recovering from a migraine) I’ll get started on it.

I’m currently watching the original Addams Family series in a marathon session for the first (if it was on Nick At Nite when I was little, then I just always managed to miss it--so the films with Raul Julia were my first exposure) time. If it turns out I like it, then I'll consider throwing it into my offerings pile the next time I go through and edit my Yuletide sign-up sheet.
