Bio Linda Blair Biography Sunday, October 30 at 12pm ET/PT Profile of the actress who suffered bad press, unfounded rumours and death threats after she starred in the ultimate horror movie, The Exorcist. Determined to escape the dark side of fame, Blair would be nominated for an Academy Award and star in highly- rated TV movies of the week.

TV-OGRAPHY: The Munsters Sunday, October 30 at 3pm ET/PT The story of the ‘60s TV hit, The Munsters, that featured a family of lovable monsters who had no idea they were scaring their suburban neighbours. The show featured Fred Gwynne as the good-hearted dad who looked like Frankenstein; Yvonne DeCarlo as the loving vampire mother; and Al Lewis as the fun-filled, Dracula-resembling grandpa. Witches Sunday, October 30 at 4pm ET/PT Shriveled ladies conjuring spells over a boiling cauldron with a few wisps of cattail, it's an image of witches that appear in the minds of most people. This program investigates a movement that commanded veneration for centuries, and then became linked with evil intentions. This biography starts in the present, interviewing modern day practitioners of Wicca - a 20th century pagan cult grounded in nature - and dips into the past, exploring the movement's origins, and its most famous practitioners. My Ghost Story Marathon Monday, October 31 from 5pm to 3am ET/PT Everybody has a ghost story, but how many people have filmed theirs? Welcome to My Ghost Story, the 10-hour marathon, where true and unbelievable stories of the paranormal are told by the people who lived through them - and actually captured their haunting on tape.

The trend began in 1964, when ABC produced the sitcom The Addams Family (1964-66), based on works of cartoonist Charles Addams, and CBS countered with its own The Munsters (CBS, 1964-66) –both satirical inversions of the American ideal sitcom family in which various monsters and freaks from Gothic literature and classic horror films form a family of misfits that somehow thrive in middle-class, suburban America.

On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the ANTA Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-three witnesses spoke in favor of designation. Two witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation.

  • News from the Selectboard
    Volume 2 Published monthly since May 1999 February 2018 News from the Selectboard Submitted by Tom Shevenell, Chairperson ([email protected]) We had quite the range of weather in January, welcome to New Hampshire in the winter. The DPW has been busy plowing and sanding, usually at night or on the weekend; fixing a water line break; and dealing with flooding of several town roads, including Longview Road which took a bath when Moose Brook rose to ten inches above the surface of the road leading to the bridge. Speaking of the Longview Bridge, the Selectboard and the DPW Director are working with Holden Engineering on replacement/rehabilitation options for this bridge rebuilt after the floods of 1936. Our recom- mendations will be brought to Town Meeting as a warrant article. Following up on last month’s news, the Selectboard received town counsel blessings on the Meetinghouse Articles of Agreement which we then jointly signed with church representatives on January 8th, updating and replacing the original agreement signed December 17th, 1851. A copy of the agreement can be found on the town’s website. Lesson 11: The Selectboard and Town Land Use Related Boards. Town land-use boards operate under many different RSA’s; the role and responsibility of the Selectboard in interacting with these Boards varies. Hancock has three land-use boards (planning board, zoning board of adjustment and historic district commission); and one board concerned with land-use and environmental protection (conservation commission). RSA 673 and RSA 36-A give limited options to the local legislative body (i.e., you at town meeting) to establish these boards.

  • Audie and the Munsters by MD Marks
    Audie Murphy Research Foundation 1 MD Marks November 1, 2020 AMRF Correspondent Audie and the Munsters By MD Marks Comments? Comments are welcome. Just use the link below to our message board. https://www.audiemurphy.com/msgb/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4734 t is unusual to read anything about Audie Murphy without something I in the text referring to his sense of humor. He was noted for his wit and sarcasm at even the most difficult times of his life. To this part of his persona, we offer a little humor – and to have some fun this day of Halloween in 2020. So, here is the story of how Audie Murphy met “The Munsters”. During the month of September 1962, Audie filmed one of his last black and white films – “Showdown”. Appearing in the film were two child actors - Kevin Showdown for a Munster. Butch Patrick, right, and Kevin Brodie, left, stand with Audie Murphy in a movie still photograph from the 1962 film “Showdown”. Photo source: the Lillian Bailey Collection Brodie, and Butch Patrick.

Murphy Memorial Website at www.audiemurphy.com Audie Murphy Research Foundation 2 MD Marks November 1, 2020 AMRF Correspondent Brodie's larger size made him look like a much older brother. In just two years, Butch Patrick would become the better-known star. Not long afterwards, in the fall of 1963, Audie made one of his better received films - the western “Bullet for a Bad Man” with Darren McGavin.
