Isn’t it funny how certain things spark memories of your childhood? I read earlier that today is Lizzie Borden’s birthday. Now there’s one for you. She was born in 1860. Died when she was 66 years old. Spooky number that 66. She is an American woman who is the alleged murderer of her father and stepmother. So what childhood memory do I have of THIS? I remember watching “The Legend of Lizzie Borden” on TV with Terri Stritenberger. Terri was one of my best friends ever growing up. The move scared the be-stinkers out of us. Elizabeth Montgomery played Lizzie. Creepy. Not like charming Bewitched at all! I think Terri and I were about 11 years old… maybe. We stayed up all night long in a petrified state of apprehension and strain.
There was a scene when Lizzie is in the basement and she is washing off her ax. I think she had a lantern with her, but I know there was some kind of horrible and sinister light.
Well, I gotta’ go to bed now. Night all.
