Gort, I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when the Earthlings
have learned to live in peace, love and harmony.

Four years ago, I boldly set out to explore strange old films, to seek out new life and new meaning in them, and to write about things few self-respecting adults have bothered to examine before.

Now, four years into the mission, I realize it's time to pull into the nearest port for some serious R&R.

I'm calling this a hiatus, because I want to keep all my options open. If and when Films From Beyond returns, it will probably be with a new scope -- more looks at other genres like film noir and westerns -- and a new format.

I've had a lot of fun with the blog. Here's a baker's dozen + 2 of the "best of the blog" (as determined by yours truly).
