Turner Classic Movies + Friday nights = Excellent

Ok. TCM’s special Underground series on Friday nights is officially awesome.

Movie: The Brotherhood of Satan

Best scene ever: Living room, late at night, child sleeping outside the doorway. Husband, sitting on the couch, reads out loud from the bible while his wife, sitting in a nearby sofa chair, weeps hysterically. Suddenly, woman’s face freezes in horror as she seems something off camera and she spasms and dies with a look of utter madness frozen on her visage. Then you see a doll, standing in the middle of the floor. The man looks up, convulses, and blood starts pouring from his mouth. He crumples, doubled over, instantly dead.

Doll sheds single tear.

Child walks, trance-like out of the house.

Already this is the my movie of the week. Thank you, 1971, and thank you Turner Classic Movies. I’m so glad it’s 3:30 in the morning and I don’t have to work tomorrow.
