And I didn't recognize Jacques Dutronc in the video so thanks for pointing that out too! For such a good looking guy, he looks pretty creepy under all that Frankenstein make-up. It's a great clip and now I love it more. Thanks for the sharing that info about the Gainsbourg LP re-releases, Will.

I just thought I'd respond to the gentleman referring to the recent (I believe German) Gainsbourg LP re-issues. They are available, if a little hard to track down. I've recently purchased "Anna", "Histoire De Melody Nelson", "Comic Strip", "Cannabis" and a compilation called "Les Annees Psychedelic" on vinyl. I think there may also be a "Bonnie & clyde" re-issue, but that's proving a little evasive. Also, and I'm sure you already knew this, the 'Monster' attempting to do away with Ms Gall in the 'Frankenstein' clip is none other than Jacques Dutronc. Hello Kimberly,

It's been rainy and gloomy for days here in Northern CA which hasn't helped my mood and I didn't party or bother with a costume this year. Hopefully I'll be in a more festive mood next year. Tuesday can't come soon enough. Thanks for the info about the Gainsbourg biopic, Scumbalina! I hadn't heard that news and now I'm curious about it. Hopefully it will use French actors and a good director. I’m glad I’m not alone, Neil & Scumbalina!

My halloween was a bust as well. I lost a costume contest as a hot pink Luchadore with toothy grin from ear to ear (I love face painting) and a sombrero to...a guy in a geico caveman mask..wtf? I blame it on Palin :-P but seriously, you're right, the whole season has felt completely off. better luck next year... thanks for a the gainsbourg videos!! Did you know they're making a biopic of his life? I think a lot of people have been feeling that way, my usual halloween lovin’ compadres all were feeling down. My halloween was a bust as well.

Watching the Lovecraft horror movie marathon on TCM tonight + drinking lots of hard cider should cheer me up. <strong>The Haunted Palace</strong> and <strong>The Shuttered Room</strong> are part of the festival and they're two favorites. Hopefully they'll help get my mind off Nov. 2 Thanks Arbo! Watching the Lovecraft horror movie marathon on TCM tonight + drinking lots of hard cider should cheer me up.
