Season of Horror Meets Hollywood History

Back in April, I registered for this course on Hollywood: History, Industry, Art that was initially set to begin in July, during the dog days of summer when I had loads of time to take an online course. The course has finally begun today, in the midst of my folly to try and watch as many of my horror movies as possible, in the course of also watching daily Dark Shadows, while at the same time neglecting the not so new latest releases from two of my favorite authors, Robert McCammon and Stephen King. I'd like to try and post weekly about what I'm learning, but we'll see what I'm realistically able to do.


The course looks very interesting and you can still sign up, so if you're interested, check it out.

Getting Schooled in Hollywood History

I have always loved movies, but it's only been within the past decade that I've become an avid classic movie fan, and have really begun to pay attention to all the players that come together to make a movie. The long list of credits that roll by were once something I ignored. I was interested in the movie stars, but not the writers, directors or composers. There is still much I don't know about the workings of Hollywood, so when I came across this edX course, "Hollywood: History, Industry, Art," I was intrigued, and decided to enroll. Hooray for Hollywood!
