Lovecraft and Codeine: a Heady Mix

I'm still fighting this nasty cold and cough that started last week. Well, the over-the-counter stuff wasn't really making a dent--even when combined with my master shaman skills. So I caved and called the modern witch doctor, who prescribed an antibiotic and some kick-ass cough syrup. Boy, that codeine is good!

So I'm loopy as a loon. I snuggled up on the sofa and decided to pass the time with a crazy horror movie. Lo and behold, I came across "The Dunwich Horror," a really bad film adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's 1928 short story.

They obviously took some creative license with the original. Sometimes movies can be so bad, they're actually good. But this one almost put me to sleep. Or it could be the codeine. Hmmm, I'm surprised I made it through this post...
