CLIPPED: RICK OWENS ROCKS RUNWAY

Image
IN TWEET: THERE’S A REASON THE LATEST RICK OWENS RUNWAY SHOW CAUSED A SENSATION. IT’S GLORIOUSLY SENSATIONAL! Ah, Fashion Week! Crazy clothes, nutty hats and more tight faced, skinny bitches per square foot than any location in Los Angeles. Enter Rick Owens , an American designer who, in ten magical and ferocious minutes, may have changed the runway show forever. In a story that has deservedly gotten more buzz than anything else out of Paris this week ( even the model meltdown, post topless protest ), Owens gave a grand and glorious middle finger to “typical” by hiring step teams to show off his latest collection.

MULTIPLE MANIACS ARE ON THE LOOSE IN THIS DIABOLICAL INSTALLMENT OF “TERROR IN BLACK AND WHITE” Sometimes the scariest monsters aren’t invaders from another planet or creatures stitched together by a mad scientist; they’re other people.

This installment of TERROR IN BLACK AND WHITE brings you face to face with three suspense classics from an era long before Investigation Discovery brought murder into our homes 24/7.  You’ll meet a bedridden woman who wishes she had cut the cord, a truly twisted sister and the ultimate momma’s boy. Lock your doors…it’s going to be a bloody night. SORRY, WRONG NUMBER (1948)  DIRECTED BY: Anatole Litvak SCREENPLAY BY: Lucille Fletcher (based on her 1943 radio play of the same name) STARRING: Barbara Stanwyck, Burt Lancaster, Ann Richards, Wendell Corey and Ed Begley ORIGINAL US RELEASE: September 1, 1948 by Paramount Pictures.
