The Nightmare Before
Christmas might be a major ad-
vance in puppetry. but it’s still
lifeless.

Halloween Horrors on Video

What's Halloween without a
spooky movie or five?

For those looking for something
a cut above the Jason/Freddie ilk,
try the disturbingly crotic The
Wicker Man.

Edward Woodward stars as a
Scottish police detective in-
vestigating the disappearance of a
young woman on a remote island
of pagan worshippers led by
Christopher Lee. {t's not quite a
horror film, but it certainly
reaches a horrific conclusion.

If you like your chills to be arty
and foreign, Vanipyr from 1932
brilliantly captures a dream state

with stylized lighting and an
almost total absence of plot as a
vampire haunts a village.

Francis Ford Coppola purtoined
his shadow effects from this film
for Bram Stoker's Dracula, avail-
able on laserdisc from Criterion
with more extras than you can
shake a stake at.

And if, on Oct. 29, you sink
your teeth into the Orpheum’s
presentation of the silent filin,
Nosferatu, you'll see Coppola's
other inspiration.

The Vancouver Symphony Or-
chestra with Dennis James at the
organ will accompany this alter-
nately moody and cornball gem
that stars Wiax Schreck as the
rat-faced Prince of Darkness.

Candlelight bus ride to
Milan ‘height of glamor’

From page 39

New York and L.A., to all the best
shows and all the best paities,
during ‘‘fashion’s heyday” in the
early ‘80s. ; :

Alsop became fashion editor at
The Prevince after the Pacific Press
strike of ‘79 because “they knew
| could fill pages.”’ :

And fill thern she did.

The ever-practical Alsop trundl-
ed off to the European collections,
with. brown ultrasuede- coat,
jacket, skirt and hat in one smal!
suitcase (“I’ve always been more
concerned with getting the
stories’); typewriter (‘we had no
laptops. in those days’’}, copy
paper, notebooks and tape re-
corder in the other.

In Milan ‘during the spring of
1982, Alsop and three colleagues
were persuaded to take a sidetrip
to Florence to view the Gucci and
Ferragamo collections.

After the first show, they were
invited to a spectacular dinner on
the terrace of the Pitti Palace. On

the second day, after the second
show, they were again invited to a
spectacular dinner (‘same place,
same violinist; it was just out-
standing’).

Dreading the long, fate-night bus
tide back to Milan that had been
specially arranged for them, Alsop
and the others “had barely got
started when we heard the clink of
ice in glasses, and we heard Frank
Sinatra singing something
marvellousiy romantic.

A waiter with a white cloth over
his arm came down the aisle with
a tray of cocktails and hot hors
d‘oeuvre.

“That, for me, was the height
of glamor.”

At home now, on a drizzly fal!
day, with Burrard Inlet spread
below, Alsop reflects on her ca-
reer: “! am one of the luckiest
people in the world.

“1 was middle-aged when |
started. | have always been grate-
ful for the fact that | was abje to do
what | did do ... because I sure as
heck started fate.’””
