It is a Welsch lullaby.  I just heard it the other day on a 
local NPR radio station.  I love the song.

The soundtrack to Legend did in fact deserve better than to be lumped in with

Was watching "Enter The Dragon" last night, and had completely
forgotten that the evil Han ends up getting kicked by Bruce Lee into
a spear, stuck through a wall. The wall rotates, and we get to 
watch his impaled body spin with the wall for a while.
Seemed to have a little more style than normal, IMHO.

She's his 'sort of' step daughter. 'Sort of' because he isn't married to
her adoptive mother, Ms. Farrow I believe. Still incestuous in spirit, if
not in law.  Incest isn't just about sex between genetically related
people, it's about trust and family dynamics.

Bad move.

The first one that comes to my mind is "Dracula Has Risen From The Grave"
with Christopher Lee. Earlier in the film, Dracula had commanded a monk
to remove a cross from the door of an old church, and throw it in a
nearby Canyon. At the end of the Film, Drac is impaled upon the cross, and
hisses and writhes like a lizard. A longtime Personal favorite.

Also, "Andy Warhol's Frankenstein" ends with the Impalement of the Dr., upon a 
spear. Since it is in 3-D, his gall bladder ends up on the point of the 
spear about an inch from your nose.

"The Omega Man" ends with Charlton Heston impaled on a rod in a fountain.
But he wasn't really the bad guy...or was he? hmmm...

	I have found a reference to Wagner's Tannhauser. There is
also something called The Tannhauser Ballad. There is an article 
about it in March, 1992 issue of Mystics Quarterly.

Great movie, wasn't it?  One of the best vampire flicks it's ever been my
pleasure to watch.  Another good vampire film you might want to check out
is _Dance of the Damned_.  Neither film is much like the other but they're
both good and there's a certain . . . something . . . about them that makes
me want to pair them up.  They're both very psychologically oriented . . .

There are two VHS releases of Reanimiator. One is the "R'-rated cut, and is
missing the coolest scenes. The other is Unrated, and contains most of them.
The TV cut contains all sorts of additional character footage, including a 
scene of Herbert shooting up Ra-animating fluid. I would love to see
a "Special Edition" that combined all three.

I have watched  this film many a time, and apart from the very tacky
Disco crucifixion, I think it holds up quite well. 
Ted Neely as Jesus is an acquired taste. They turned down Ian Gillan 
from Deep Purple, and gave it to Neely, a Texas Bar band singer who has
since returned to obscurity. Gillan can be heard on the London production
soundtrack, which seems to be much easier to find than that of the movie.
Good film, but I still prefer the book...
