Bargain Night Noir

 Doctor Strange

Multi-dimensional adventure

experienced later on LSD

Confirmed by string theory

In the mood for a movie

on a night so cold and cloudy

A fifth of July

 Off-duty

Robo-cop
en route

 Bargain night at the 

Jack London Multiplex

Freaks come out at night

 children especially so

 Ticket takers

and security staff

seem sinister enough

 

USA 

on the knife's edge

 Staying up all night

via artificial device

while the stars blink out

one by one

 White Man

 of the Apes

Almost chose this one

aquatic survival struggle

a cherished genre

Guaranteed a few good scares

 A few too many as it turned out,

 I chose this one,

Horror films need to have 

some of the dull bits left in,

Ramped up two hours of chill and jolt 

expertly designed and  filmed,

Humorous to me was its portrayal

of Ghost-sleuths the Warrens

Whom I heard speak at my University

Mrs Meanlady wore the pants and

Ed Warren didn't habituate a gym

like this actor, more likely the donut shop

 

 The Ties that bind

atavistic relationships 

high school sweethearts

 Jewish giant

photographed by Diane Arbus

says she "came on" to him

 Spooks, freaks, mystics

and pyromaniacs

Hope I'm not afraid while

 walking home alone,

Should I meet someone wicked 

on my way

I fear no evil

What is more 

I got the Fantastic Four

and Doctor Strange

to help him on his way
