Believe Only Half of What You Watch

We mentioned earlier this year that 2010 marked the thirtieth anniversary of The Clue According to Sherlock Holmes, the misnamed made-for-television version of The Treasure of Alpheus Winterborn. Arthur Tourot wrote into us today to announce he’s posted the program online (in five parts) for your viewing pleasure.

This is the full, original version of the program and not the shortened version where they edited out the Holmes/Watson nonsense.

Goreyana: The Chessmen of Doom

Notes from Goreyana about The Chessmen of Doom:

• For this title, Edward Gorey created a piece of artwork that is my favorite frontis illustration from the entire Bellairs series. When Mr. Gorey decided to sell his Bellairs art holdings, I was thrilled to find it amongst the pieces being offered, and this became the first "Bellairs" piece or art which I purchased. I love everything about this illustration. It is detailed, creepy, humorous, and even a little religious! It has all the bells and whistles for a Bellairs or Gorey collector.
