I agree with you here geode that is a
most unfair statement about the character Brad Majors played by actor Barry Bostwick ( it's actually quite rude IMPO ) .
Of course I never really take what some
of these " article writers " say too seriously
because it's just their personal opinion only ( which of course they are entitled to )
yet I don't always agree with what
is written in these articles either I make my own decisions on this .
The rest of this article just seemed interesting enough like
trivia / facts I did or didn't know about & history of etc.
and just thought I would pass this along
to the other folks here who would be interested in this as well .
Again thanks so much for your input on this and your reply here too .

I haven't seen 6 or 10. Always did wonder what the 'Dana Andrews' line was referring to.

I haven't seen 6 or 10. Always did wonder what the 'Dana Andrews' line was referring to.
I highly recommend watching both of these films especially # 10. that one is so excellent for it's time .
Film # 10. Night of the Demon
Columbia (1957), released in the United States as Curse of the Demon
" Dana Andrews said prunes gave him the runes, and passing them used lots of skills "
" A 1957 British horror film directed by Jacques Tourneur, starring Dana Andrews, Peggy Cummins and Niall MacGinnis. An adaptation of M. R. James' Casting the Runes (1911), the plot revolves around American professor John Holden going to England and investigating a Satanic cult suspected of being responsible for more than one death in recent months.
The film's production was turbulent due to clashing ideas between producer Hal E. Chester against Jacques Tourneur and writer Charles Bennett. Against Bennett and Tourneur's wishes of leaving the supernatural demon's existence up to the audience, Chester demanded to make the demon have a highly visible presence on-camera. The film was also edited further in America in its 1958 debut under the title of The Curse of the Demon, as the second half of a double feature to accompany the film The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958) which, in a twist of deliberate fate contain two very obvious props reused in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the creation tank and bandaged wrapped dummy. "
** IMPO - I thought over the years this being a total play on words " the prunes "
referred to the 2 Elderly English Psychic Ladies in the film
and " The Runes " were these little long strips of paper with black magic symbols on these
that was part of a curse to be rid of before a certain time of receiving it .
Film # 6. Doctor X (1932) was a really good one also .
Thanks so much Bargle for your reply here too .
