On Early Morning TV (plus I get to use the word "ouevre")

One disadvantage to getting older is my inability to sleep more than a few hours a night. This has advantages, though, one of which is that I have more time to watch TV. I've discovered that the best TV is on from about 3-5 AM. That is, if you like science fiction and horror movies. I just finished watching, for example, Clive Barker's Nightbreed. What a great film! I would rate it second only to the original Hellraiser in Barker's ouevre. Perfect combination of "B" movie atmosphere along with "A" movie prosthetics (utilized to create the brilliantly imaginative race of mutants that live among us in an underground world called Midian). Highly recommended.
