Friz Freleng's Strange Case of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"
I'm a huge, and I mean huge fan and enthusiast of the Looney Tunes cartoons. I've watched the shorts religiously for close to 35 years, I have the various DVDs--hell, I've even created some DVDs. There was always something magical about the Looney Tunes. Whether it's the wackiness, the dialogue, the storylines, or Mel Blanc's iconic voicework, one thing's for sure: there's nothing like the Looney Tunes.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Top Story - June 2024.
I've audited a night course in Horror and Scifi Film from a colleague who is a great expert in both genres and who selected interesting movies for the class to watch, representative of a particular sub-genre or cultural trend of the time. I enjoyed the course tremendously, watched the films I never saw before and had a chance to participate in insightful discussions with eager and engaged students.
