This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:14:48), we discuss the V.V. Dachin Hsu DTV Wings Hauser vampire picture Pale Blood, in addition to the first episode of the 70s giallo miniseries, Door Into Darkness, "La vicina di casa" (an early work by Luigi Cozzi). In part two (1:14:48-2:24:36) we talk in shorter format about 8 additional features: M. Night Shyamalan's highly Twilight-Zone-y 2021 film Old, the 1933 James Whale Universal Monsters classic The Invisible Man, the sunny and abstract 1987 slasher movie The Last Slumber Party, Rob Spera's weird and stereotype-heavy franchise entry Leprechaun in the Hood, Mark A.Z. Dippe's notorious 1997 comic book adaptation Spawn, Larry Cohen's great 1982 update of 50s giant monster flicks, Q the Winged Serpent, Andrea Bianchi's crazy lo-fi zombie exploitation feature Burial Ground, and the 1963 James Landis' based-on-true-crime potboiler The Sadist. In part three, we talk briefly about everything else we've watched since last time, and make our picks for next week.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
