it's like trying to synch up Dark Side Of The Moon with The Wizard Of Oz.
I actually tried it once. What a load of crap.
You need the spliff for it to work.

I used to mark my calendar waiting for the day I knew those monster mags would be delivered to the Delta Drug. It was a good two miles away. But I would ride my bike, uphill all the way, to be there when they were put out. I loved the artwork more than anything.
Coincidentally, I just put a classic horror film at the top of my Netflix queue. Hangover Square, the 1945 film that drove Sondheim to write Sweeney Todd. It's about a composer, driven into violence filled blackouts by discordant music.

That's a good one scallion, and I must reccomend The Lodger.
It was made by Fox the previous year also starring Cregar as a psychopath (Jack the Ripper actually) and directed by John Brahm.
It was The Lodger's success that prompted Fox to reunite director and star for another, similar picture: Hangover Square.
