One of Canadian of the Week’s favorite new blogs is Ghouls on Film (ghoulsonfilm.net), where the horror movie genre is written about women, by women, and for women. You could maybe say it’s like Lifetime, but maybe Deadtime, if you know what I mean…

As it turns out, she wasn’t always Lily Munster. In fact, the show only ran for two seasons (followed by two movies), and the 1940s and ’50s were considered the prolific period in the life of the actress who was once dubbed “the world’s most beautiful woman.”
