In preparation, download Policy Overkill's
Stranger Things and Song 17
and dance your cute little tuchus off. A word of warning though - it made my cat freak out. The music, not my dancing. Which was passionate, but non-threatening.

Will Smith? Charleton Heston? Please. Give me Vincent Price any day in The Last Day on Earth . Based on the chilling Richard Matheson science fiction Classic "I am Legend" and later remade as "The Omega Man", this classic features Vincent Price as scientist Robert Morgan in a post apocalyptic nightmare world. Hey it's an Apocalypse theme today. Cute!
