Last week, I received a package from Amazon containing several birthday presents from my wishlist; they were sent by one of my especially-generous gentlemen, who never misses the opportunity to send me gifts at holidays or just because he saw something on the list which tickled him. I’ve been wanting to see the pictured one for a while because it’s the movie which inspired the creation of Batman’s arch-nemesis, The Joker. It’s not really a horror movie per se, but the one of the other two gifts, the definitely-a-horror-movie Vampyr, had a less-than-striking box, and the other, Vince Guaraldi’s soundtrack for A Charlie Brown Christmas, isn’t seasonal. So if you’ve sometimes wondered how I choose which gift to illustrate when there are several, now you know. And if you want one of your gifts to adorn next week’s diary column, there are still three good seasonal choices on my wishlist and almost a week for Amazon to get them here!
