President Coolidge Taken On The White House Lawn (1924)
In Honor of the political season finally drawing to a close! Sometimes things around here are not so silent. This is an early "Talkie" from Deforest Phonofilms, taken, ironically of then President Calvin Coolidge, who was known as "Silent Cal."

Haunted Spooks (1920)
A classic Harold Lloyd spoof from 1920, but with spooks! This is considered to be the very first horror comedy even made (though I think that some of Méliés might actually qualify as earlier). Still this is Harold Lloyd!! Some even contend that not even Charlie Chaplin could touch his comedic genius. Happy Halloween Eve!

A Theda Bara Tribute
I ran across this on the web and thought it would make a fitting Halloween post. It is well done, and Bara has been a favorite of mine since childhood as well!
