Motionless Wonderings

 
I’m just sitting here wondering…

…where the copies of my books are in their journey through time.  Especially the copies of DARK EXCURSIONS once owned by two people who have since died.  Are the books collecting dust at a thrift store or are they boxed up in an attic, just waiting to be discovered by a future freak like me? 

…if Andy Milligan’s lost films will ever be found.  Maybe I really should research old Nebraska theaters and drive-ins just to make certain TRICKS OF THE TRADE, THE DEGENERATES and other titles aren’t lurking in a forgotten basement.  Seems unlikely, but if one German-language reel of THE FILTHY FIVE can be found, then anything is possible! 

…what will the person who goes through my film collection after I’m dust think of my mental state.  I mean, how can I fully explain Ed Wood, John Waters, Andy Milligan and puppet porn Never mind the films I haven’t been gutsy enough to blog about…yet. 

…if the 2-in-1 physical copy of  DARKENING STURGEONS and HAUNTING STURGEONS will ever see the light of day.  I’m slowly working on it.  Very, very slowly because I question how much interest for such a book exists.  

…if I’ll ever do another video for The FreakOptic Files Doing one takes a lot of time and effort and I’m not sure if it’s worth it.

…if I’ll purchase the blu-ray of COCAINE BEAR upon its release. 

…if I should’ve blogged about something more interesting than these wonderings. 

Thank you for reading or listening to my half-blind words. 

Freak Out, 
JLH

  1. If something’s not out there it’s definitely not going to be found!

  2. Great read! I just finished the eBook. Very intriguing story that really pulls you along. Vaguely reminds me of Dark Shadows without the supernatural element.

  3. I am now wondering about which films you haven't had the guts to review yet... Titles please or clues if you can't say...

    1. Oh, Gill... So many films, but I'll give you a couple of clues. One is an Andy Warhol film and another one is an infamous film shot in florida.

  4. All valid wonderings. For your sake, I hope those missing Milligan films are found - But is the world ready? 🤔 Always looking forward to your next venture, whatever that may be!
