HORROR FROM THE FORBIDDEN CRYPT
“Horror from the Forbidden Crypt” (1948) remade in 1964 by Roger Corman as “Tomb of the Old Ones”.
The same lead actress starred in both movies, but she is only known as Zuul or Hazel Court. These are the only movies she was known to act in. Vincent Price once said that she was the strangest actor he had ever worked with.

“Destructive Testing Complete”
After a thousand years, black granite paving has proved appropriate for the Palace of the Emperor!
President Trump recently replaced the flagstone walkways along the West Wing colonnade at the White House with polished black Italian granite. He selected the charcoal slabs himself to create a stark, modern contrast with the white exterior of the building. In reality, aliens were simply using him to see how the pavers would hold up.

And What Rough Beast

The Second Coming
Turning and turning in the widening gyre  Â
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere  Â
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst  Â
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.  Â
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out  Â
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert  Â
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,  Â
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,  Â
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it  Â
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.  Â
The darkness drops again; but now I know  Â
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,  Â
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,  Â
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
