innae 's review for:
The October Country
by Ray Bradbury
As I am reading these short stories, I keep thinking some of them seem familiar; there is a reason for this. If I can find it, I will add the trailer/article on the adaptation --
The Dwarf Another one that is a little sad, and cruel. Ray Bradbury Theater: https://youtu.be/JtOR-ugAO_s
The Next in Line this one would make a nice new Twilight Zone tale, and from what I can tell, it has only been a radio program - https://youtu.be/2fJ-Yp8tFzY
The Watchful Poker Chip of H. Matisse the need to be a part of something, I think we have all felt it at some point in time, and once you have it, you don't want to let it go.
Skeleton kind of a creepy tale about being obsessed with being a hypochondriac, filmed for Ray Bradbury Theater: https://youtu.be/5ohZ5k2vVEk
The Jar a gullible hick story, retold a couple of times, once for Alfred Hitchcock Presents - https://youtu.be/MQXKQGRifQw
The Lake a bit of a sad story, Ray Bradbury Theater: https://youtu.be/fkTll3La1po
The Emissary another sad one, poor Dog, and how terrible to be stuck in bed, missing everything! Ray Bradbury Theater: https://youtu.be/ROiaZd1rlq4
Touched with Fire I kind of liked this story about insurance agents who decide to use their powers for good. A lot of these stories were told on Ray Bradbury's own show, which I actually have on DVD, perhaps I need to sit down and watch a few more of these: https://youtu.be/yc7ly4J11Gc
The Small Assassin a little postpartum paired with maybe a little The Omen? Ray Bradbury Theater: https://youtu.be/yc7ly4J11Gc
The Crowd this was the first one I KNEW I had seen before - on Ray Bradbury Theater, one of the better ones. https://youtu.be/58UFolQ5UQo
Jack-in-the-Box Found a teaser for this movie, but can't find the movie on IMDB?? https://youtu.be/KUjZ_0mqLEk
The Scythe Is there a trend of sad tales from Bradbury's early stories?? this is another one. Reminded me a bit of On a Pale Horse by Piers Anthony, but only in idea, certainly not tone
Uncle Einar Cute. I pretty much love everything about this story.
The Wind Ray Bradbury Theater: https://youtu.be/y7OD9Oz1vKM (and a radio program: https://youtu.be/_-bE6kw8e_Q) - creepy. A precursor to The Mist, only it is not monsters IN the wind, it is the wind itself you must be aware of.
The Man Upstairs Ray Bradbury Theater: https://youtu.be/U5TlcMsguc0 - creepy again. not a favorite
There was an Old Woman Ray Bradbury Theater: https://youtu.be/tkSnUvUqv7Y - I refuse to accept death!! and thus she didn't.
The Cistern - We all float down here. it is amazing to me how many of these tales remind me of a newer story by another author. Bradbury truly was inspirational
Homecoming an animated short: https://youtu.be/W2w5QBAvLgY - yet again, a bit of a sad tale. another one that has precursors to The Umbrella Academy
The Wonderful Death of Dudley Stone Ray Bradbury Theater: https://youtu.be/VliFFDOXOcY - another BIG WINNER, again, a bit of a nod from Stephen King when he wrote The Dark Half, but this is a much happier version. I truly love this story.
