Various fannish things

thisbluespirit1. Commentfest with a fairy tale/fae theme spotted around and about: November Nymphs & Nixies.
2. I have my Yuletide assignment and it's a nice one, so fingers crossed, I can do something with it! (I haven't yet, though.)
3. In my Dracula giffing, I have now achieved Dracula (1958), although most of the gifs are still pending in my queue or hanging about in my drafts over at tumblr. In the meantime, have a Peter Cushing or two:
And not to be unfair, have a bonus Christopher Lee:
4. I also did these gifs from Spiders (2000) an SFF/Horror film starring a young Lana Parrilla as UFO-obsessed college reporter Marci Eyre. It promised to be terrible in exactly the right enjoyable way and it was. I would say have some gifs of a young, geeky Lana vs a giant mutant spider from space, but I'm sorry, I edited out the spider. I have priorities. They don't have eight legs.
I especially liked how both Lana and the hero kept losing clothes as it progressed. Personally I would have chosen not to shed layers while running from giant venomous spiders, although in the hero's case, I suppose it isn't his fault if his shirt evaporates on contact with water. (I mean, I'd have thought that was a serious design flaw even in California, but each to their own.)
Also some admirably terrible SFX spider-rampaging at the end. Oh, and Villain/Alien Spider was totally canon; that was quite impressive in its own special way. Marci is totally ruthless as a reporter, though. Even Lynda Day would have let the story wait if she'd got two of her best friends killed, but it wasn't the kind of film where you want to worry about logic much.
Other than that, I've been pretty tired and had an appointment, hence gifs. Tragically no James Maxwell ones, though. This year is very short on James Maxwell and it's an unfair thing, but OTOH, it had Lana vs a Giant Spider, so I suppose that is something.
