'Stead of treated, we get tricked
1. And now, our special late-breaking edition of Dawn Over Marblehead brings you this important bulletin:
THAT WAS BERNADETTE PETERS IN THE MOVIE MUSICAL OF ANNIE I MEAN I KNEW ABOUT TIM CURRY AND CAROL BURNETT WHO DOESN'T AND I'VE ALWAYS BEEN WILLING TO TAKE MY MOTHER'S WORD FOR IT THAT THE BALD GUY WAS ALBERT FINNEY BUT I AM FOR SOME REASON SURPRISED BY WAIT A MINUTE ANN REINKING WAS ALSO IN THIS THING LOOK I DON'T EVEN HAVE THAT MUCH NOSTALGIA ATTACHED TO THIS MOVIE BUT WHY AM I NOT WATCHING AT LEAST THE MUSICAL NUMBERS RIGHT NOW?
(The Onion A.V. Club caused me to think about latter-day movie musicals. I find it difficult to believe Little Shop of Horrors (1986) was the last classical example of the form, but I agree that Chicago (2002) was not even slightly it.)
2. In slightly less shouty news, I am planning to spend tonight at the Anti-Morris on Vinal Avenue and then at Nosferatu (1922) at the Brattle if I can work out tickets, considering their online service seems to give my browser fits.
3. This would be the traditional mix.
Carbon Leaf, "Follow the Lady"
She assigned a witch to spell my heart and now I'm drawn to her
Siren song, draw the ships, orchestrate the eclipse of this amateur
Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling, "Episode 7: The Schizoid Man"
I see you at night
Swear I'm not dreaming
You're a ball of light
And I wake up screaming
The Pack a.d., "Haunt You"
I died
I'll haunt you
The Secret History, "Count Backwards (Rock 'n' Roll Never Dies)"
Bela Lugosi's dead and I don't feel so hot myself
Hans Conried, "Dressing Song (Do-Mi-Do Duds)"
So come and dress me in the blossoms of a million pink trees
Come on and dress me up in liverwurst and Camembert cheese
Come on and dress me up in pretzels—dress me up in bock beer suds
Happy Halloween.

no subject
No, but I'd want to see the original British series first anyway. The idea has never bothered me: the point of the songs is those specific versions, not contemporary actors' reinterpretations. Fair point if you really wanted to hear Peters and Walken, though.
