I�ll admit, I�m a bit spooked by what happened�or almost happened�today with my attempt at resurrecting the Monday Movie Quiz. Wanting to find a film that was both fairly easy to kick things off with, yet fun to listen to, my thoughts turned to Hitchcock, and . . . well, you guessed it, I chose Psycho. But procrastinator that I am, I decided to post it later in the day (I wasn�t quite satisfied with the audio montage I�d made, and wanted to sleep on it). And then I got up and read that Janet Leigh had passed away.

So I think I�ll wait another week to start the quiz, and in the interim I�ll try to come up with a film where all the cast members are already dead. I don�t want the quiz to become a blog version of I Bury the Living, after all. And while I like the above photo, for those who might think it in bad taste, at least today, be cheered that I didn�t use the photo I�d planned for next week�s answer: the famous close-up eyes-open shot of Leigh dead in the shower!

Too weird.
