tson. The other story is "The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier".
# Adaptations.
"The Lion's Mane" was dramatised for BBC Radio 4 in 1994 by Bert Coules as part of his complete radio adaptation of the canon, starring Clive Merrison as Holmes and Michael Williams as Watson.
"The Lion's Mane" was indirectly referenced in the BBC adaptation "Sherlock" in "The Six Thatchers", where Sherlock and John, while solving cases, jokingly comment on the stupidity of arresting a jellyfish. In the CBS adaptation "Elementary", in the introduction of "The Geek Interpreter", Sherlock briefly reports solving the 1926 cold case death of Fitzroy McPherson, identifying the Lion's Mane jellyfish as the culprit. | 6,130,300 |

Fujiidera, Osaka
As of October 1, 2016, the city has an estimated population of 65,075 and a population density of 7,300 persons per km². The total area is 8.89 km².
# History.
In 1959 the townships of "Fujiidera-cho" and "Domyoji-cho" merged to create "Fujiidera-Domyoji-cho". A year later, the town was renamed "Misasagi-cho". The present day city of "Fujiidera-shi" was created November 1, 1966.
Fujiidera Stadium, a baseball stadium built in 1928 and last owned by the Kintetsu Buffaloes, was previously located in Fujiidera. The team used the stadium until 1996, before relocating to the newly built Osaka Dome for the 1997 season. Fujiidera Stadium was closed in 2005 and the site redeveloped.

Melanocyte-stimulating hormone
The melanocyte-stimulating hormones, known collectively as MSH, also known as melanotropins or intermedins, are a family of peptide hormones and neuropeptides consisting of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), β-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (β-MSH), and γ-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (γ-MSH) that are produced by cells in the pars intermedia of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
Synthetic analogues of α-MSH, such as afamelanotide (melanotan I; Scenesse), melanotan II, and bremelanotide (PT-141), have been developed and researched.
# Biosynthesis.
The various forms of MSH are generated from different cleavages of the proopiomelanocortin protein, | 6,130,304 |
536557 | Melanocyte-stimulating hormone | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Melanocyte-stimulating%20hormone | Melanocyte-stimulating hormone
which also yields other important neuropeptides like adrenocorticotropic hormone.
Melanocytes in skin make and secrete MSH in response to ultraviolet light, where it increases synthesis of melanin. Some neurons in arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus make and secrete α-MSH in response to leptin; α-MSH is also made and secreted in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
# Function.
Acting through melanocortin 1 receptor, α-MSH stimulates the production and release of melanin (a process referred to as melanogenesis) by melanocytes in skin and hair.
Acting in the hypothalamus, α-MSH suppresses appetite. α-MSH secreted in the hypothalamus also contributes to sexual arousal.
## In amphibians.
In | 6,130,305 |
536557 | Melanocyte-stimulating hormone | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Melanocyte-stimulating%20hormone | Melanocyte-stimulating hormone
some animals (such as the claw-toed frog "Xenopus laevis") production of MSH is increased when the animal is in a dark location. This causes pigment to be dispersed in pigment cells in the toad's skin, making it become darker, and harder for predators to spot. The pigment cells are called melanophores and therefore, in amphibians, the hormone is often called melanophore-stimulating hormone.
## In humans.
An increase in MSH will cause darker skin in humans too. MSH increases in humans during pregnancy. This, along with increased estrogens, causes increased pigmentation in pregnant women. Cushing's disease due to excess adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) may also result in hyperpigmentation, | 6,130,306 |
536557 | Melanocyte-stimulating hormone | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Melanocyte-stimulating%20hormone | Melanocyte-stimulating hormone
such as acanthosis nigricans in the axilla. Most people with primary Addison's disease have darkening (hyperpigmentation) of the skin, including areas not exposed to the sun; characteristic sites are skin creases (e.g. of the hands), nipple, and the inside of the cheek (buccal mucosa), new scars become hyperpigmented, whereas older ones do not darken. This occurs because MSH and ACTH share the same precursor molecule, proopiomelanocortin (POMC).
Different levels of MSH are not the major cause of variation in skin colour. However, in many red-headed people, and other people who do not tan well, there are variations in their hormone receptors, causing them to not respond to MSH in the blood.

Structure of MSH.
The different forms of MSH belong to a group called the melanocortins. This group includes ACTH, α-MSH, β-MSH, and γ-MSH; these peptides are all cleavage products of a large precursor peptide called proopiomelanocortin (POMC). α-MSH is the most important melanocortin for pigmentation.
The different forms of MSH have the following amino acid sequences:
# Synthetic MSH.
Synthetic analogues of α-MSH have been developed for human use. Two of the better known are afamelanotide (melanotan I) in testing by Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals and bremelanotide by Palatin Technologies. Others include modimelanotide and setmelanotide.
- Afamelanotide (brand name Scenesse) has been approved | 6,130,308 |
536557 | Melanocyte-stimulating hormone | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Melanocyte-stimulating%20hormone | Melanocyte-stimulating hormone
for the treatment of erythropoietic protoporphyria in Europe and is also being investigated as a method of photoprotection in the treatment of polymorphous light eruption, actinic keratosis and squamous cell carcinoma (a form of skin cancer).
- An additional analogue called melanotan II causes enhanced libido and erections in most male test subjects and arousal with corresponding genital involvement in most female test subjects. Bremelanotide (formerly PT-141) which stemmed from melanotan II research is currently under development for its aphrodisiac effects. These effects are mediated by actions in the hypothalamus on neurons that express MC and MC receptors.

Pacific Bell
The Pacific Bell Telephone Company (Pacific Bell) is a telephone company that provides telephone service in California. The company is owned by AT&T Inc. through AT&T Teleholdings, and, though separate, is now marketed as “AT&T”. The company has been known by a number of names during which its service area has changed. The formal name of the company from the 1910s through the 1984 Bell System divestiture was The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company. As of 2002, the name “Pacific Bell” is no longer used in marketing, Pacific Bell is still the holder of record for the infrastructure of cables and fiber through much of California.
# History.
The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph | 6,130,311 |
536576 | Pacific Bell | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pacific%20Bell | Pacific Bell
Company, or "PacTel" for short, managed the Bell System's telephone operations in California. It grew by acquiring smaller telephone companies along the Pacific coast. It built and occupied San Francisco's Pacific Telephone Building on New Montgomery Street which has been described as a "monument to western progress and foresight".
## San Francisco graft.
During the San Francisco graft trials, the company was implicated in paying bribes to obtain an operations franchise in San Francisco. Theodore Halsey, a confidential political agent for the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph Company, paid attorney Abe Ruef a retainer of $1,250 a month for "advice" on municipal issues. Ruef was the political | 6,130,312 |
536576 | Pacific Bell | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pacific%20Bell | Pacific Bell
boss behind S.F. Mayor Eugene Schmitz. In 1906, San Francisco was one of the most promising places for investment in all of the United States. Many companies were vying for a piece of the money to be made. The city's supervisors had run on a platform that included the city acquiring its own telephone system which both Home Telephone Company and Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph Company wanted to prevent. The Home Telephone Company, financed by investors from Southern California and Ohio, was trying to wrest the telephone franchise held exclusively by Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph Company in Northern California.
After the massive earthquake of 1906, the Home Telephone Company contributed | 6,130,313 |
536576 | Pacific Bell | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pacific%20Bell | Pacific Bell
$75,000 to a relief fund for the city, but asked that it be held until their franchise was approved. It was later revealed that the city's supervisors had received payoffs through Ruef from both the Home Telephone Company and Pacific States Telephone Co. Home Telephone paid 10 supervisors $3,500 each and seven supervisors $6,000 each (about $ to $ in 2020). Pacific States Telephone Co. paid 10 supervisors $5,000 each ($ today). After the graft prosecutions, E.F. Pillsbury, General Counsel for the telephone company, revealed that he had never heard of Ruef's employment, and would have objected to Ruef receiving compensation greater than his own $1,000 per month.
## Growth.
During the first | 6,130,314 |
536576 | Pacific Bell | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pacific%20Bell | Pacific Bell
part of the 20th century, Pacific Telephone & Telegraph, along with the rest of the Bell System, initially resisted automating its services, on the premise that their people could provide better service than machines. When it acquired competing providers, if the company provided automatic dial service, Bell removed the automatic equipment and replaced it with manual telephones and manual operator switchboards. The company soon realized its best manual systems were unable to keep up with the growing demand for telephone service. In the early 1920s, following the 1921 installation of the nation's first large panel switch in Omaha, the Bell operating companies began to install automated switching | 6,130,315 |
536576 | Pacific Bell | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pacific%20Bell | Pacific Bell
equipment.
## Southern California service.
Los Angeles and San Francisco employed different approaches for adopting new automatic switching technology. The Los Angeles Telephone Co. had merged with the Sunset Telephone Co. of northern California in 1883. Sunset was subsequently acquired by Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. in 1906. Following the purchase by PacTel, the southern California company remained a separate operation and used the Sunset name.
The Los Angeles area was also served by a competitor, The Home Telephone Co., which began offering automatic (dial) service in 1902. The Sunset Telephone Co. subscribers were able to make local and long distance calls via the Bell System, but | 6,130,316 |
536576 | Pacific Bell | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pacific%20Bell | Pacific Bell
Home Telephone Co. customers could make only local calls to other Home customers. To reach both exchanges, businesses were required to pay for a line from each company. In 1916, under pressure from local politicians and subscribers, Sunset Telephone Co. agreed to acquire the Home Company's operations. The new entity was called The Southern California Telephone Co. The two company's operations were fully integrated in 1918.
At the time of the 1918 merger, Home had 60,000 customers served from 16 dial offices. Sunset had 68,000 subscribers served from nine manual offices. Home's operations were sizable and the public felt Home provided better service than Sunset, so Pacific Telephone didn't convert | 6,130,317 |
536576 | Pacific Bell | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pacific%20Bell | Pacific Bell
the dial offices to manual as it had in the past. Instead, they took the highly unusual step of adding a dial and trunk lines to every manual switchboard position. In this way, former Sunset customers could reach the former Home subscribers via their central office operator.
The last Los Angeles manual exchange was THornwall 6, in Burbank, which operated until the late 1950s. The last manual office in southern California was in Avalon, on Catalina Island, dating from a radiotelephone service installed in the early 1920s. Pacific Telephone later laid two submarine cables to link the island to the mainland. Avalon was converted to dial in 1978, using switching equipment 23 miles away in the San | 6,130,318 |
536576 | Pacific Bell | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pacific%20Bell | Pacific Bell
Pedro central office.
## Northern California operations.
San Francisco continued to install manual offices throughout the 1920s. When PacTel took over the operations of its San Francisco and Oakland competitor, Home Telephone Co., in the early 1920s, their customers were switched from Home's dial service to Pacific Telephone manual exchanges. A 1927 Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. publication proudly describes the company's newest manual offices, without a word of plans to introduce dial service. San Francisco's first dial office, ORdway, opened on 23 March 1929. The first suburban step-by-step (electromechanical stepping switch) office opened in Palo Alto in 1929.
## Dial service conversion.
Telephone | 6,130,319 |
536576 | Pacific Bell | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pacific%20Bell | Pacific Bell
service conversion from manual to dial systems was slowed by equipment shortages during World War II. San Jose had been planned for conversion before the war, but remained on manual service until 1949.
In preparation for operator direct distance dialing, the precursor to customer DDD, cities throughout the country converted telephone numbers to a standardized 2L-5N format, e.g. EXchange 1-2345. San Francisco completed its conversion in December 1947. In July 1948, Pacific Telephone converted most of the cities on the San Francisco Peninsula. The company announcement, “most Peninsula cities now have exchange names” confirmed that the old four- or five-digit numbers had been converted to the | 6,130,320 |
536576 | Pacific Bell | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pacific%20Bell | Pacific Bell
seven-digit exchange format.
- DAvenport 2 - Palo Alto
- OXford - Millbrae
- DIamond 3 & 4 - Burlingame, San Mateo
- FIreside 5 - San Mateo
- EMerson 6 - Redwood City
Manual numbers were still used in some peninsula cities and were listed in the directory without the first two letters of the name capitalized, indicating a non-dialable point requiring operator assistance to reach. For example:
- Belmont 120
- San Carlos 932-J
- Pescadero 2349-R
- Half Moon Bay 3497
- San Gregorio 2
To place calls to certain other Northern California exchanges, such as Sacramento, Stockton, and Vallejo in Northern California, dial customers would dial ‘’0’’ to reach an operator. The operator dialed | 6,130,321 |
536576 | Pacific Bell | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pacific%20Bell | Pacific Bell
through a tandem switch and directly called numbers in those cities. These calls were indicated by a star in the telephone directory. For other call destinations, customers dialed ‘’211’’ to reach a long distance operator who would connect the customer using manual trunks to reach a distant operator.
When Pacific Telephone converted its San Francisco operations to 2L-5N calling in 1947, the old central office names were kept in most cases, with an extra digit appended. Certain exchanges were abandoned after being converted from manual service, such as WEst, RAndolph, and the famous CHina exchange of Chinatown. The manual 25th Street office in San Francisco, serving the MIssion, ATwater, and | 6,130,322 |
536576 | Pacific Bell | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pacific%20Bell | Pacific Bell
VAlencia exchanges, was converted by Pacific to dial in 1952. On September 6, 1953, JUniper 6, previously known as RAndolph in the 2L-4N era, the last manual office within the City and County, cut over its 2700 subscribers to crossbar equipment in the new Juniper central office on Onondaga Avenue.
Riverside maintained a large manual office until 1956. Berkeley converted AShberry 3, its last manual office, to dial in 1963. Crockett, the final Bay Area manual office, was converted to dial in 1969.
## Northwest acquisitions.
Acquisitions over the years extended Pacific Telephone's territory into Oregon, Washington, and northern Idaho. Those operations were split off on July 1, 1961 to form Pacific | 6,130,323 |
536576 | Pacific Bell | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pacific%20Bell | Pacific Bell
Northwest Bell. In the 1980s, Pacific Telephone's assets were valued at $14.5 billion, making it the largest of any of the 21 wholly owned Baby Bells owned by AT&T, which also made Pacific Telephone the "crown jewel" of the operating companies. However, Pacific Telephone was one of the least profitable Bells due to very tough local telephone regulations in California.
## Separation from AT&T.
Prior to the AT&T breakup in 1984, AT&T held 89.8% of Pacific Telephone. After the breakup, The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company changed its name to Pacific Bell Telephone Company, or PacBell for short. Pacific Telesis was formed as a holding company for PacBell's interests, with PacBell and Nevada | 6,130,324 |
536576 | Pacific Bell | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pacific%20Bell | Pacific Bell
Bell (which PacBell had owned since 1913) as its operating companies. Since Nevada Bell had long been a PacBell subsidiary, that company was omitted from the Modification of Final Judgment that broke up the Bell System.
# Mergers and subsequent growth.
In 1997, Pacific Telesis Group was acquired by SBC Communications, and although the Pacific Telesis corporate name disappeared fairly quickly, SBC continued to operate the local telephone companies separately under their original names.
In September 2001, SBC rebranded the telephone company "SBC Pacific Bell". In late 2002, the companies were rebranded again as "SBC". Meanwhile, employees of SBC working in California who support SBC's non-regulated | 6,130,325 |
536576 | Pacific Bell | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pacific%20Bell | Pacific Bell
services and/or services provided both within and outside California were transferred to other SBC subsidiaries, like "Pacific Telesis Shared Services" and "SBC Operations, Inc." However, for legal and regulatory purposes, employees supporting local regulated services were still employed by "Pacific Bell Telephone Company dba SBC California ("SBC California")" which is the SBC subsidiary that provides regulated local exchange carrier telephone services within the franchise territory in California.
On November 18, 2005, SBC completed its acquisition of AT&T Corp. to form AT&T Inc. Pacific Bell is now known as "Pacific Bell Telephone Company", dba AT&T California. In 2006, the company's direct | 6,130,326 |
536576 | Pacific Bell | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pacific%20Bell | Pacific Bell
known as "Pacific Bell Telephone Company", dba AT&T California. In 2006, the company's direct parent, originally Ameritech, became AT&T Teleholdings due to an internal reorganization at AT&T. Its former direct parent, Pacific Telesis Group, was legally merged into AT&T Teleholdings. In 2007, local telephone service in California was further deregulated, resulting in price increases for AT&T California customers.

18 til I Die
18 til I Die is the seventh studio album by the Canadian singer-songwriter Bryan Adams. Released on 4 June 1996, by A&M Records, the album became a commercial success peaking at No. 1 in the United Kingdom and No. 2 in his home country Canada. It was recorded on different locations which included Jamaica and France. "18 til I Die" featured the number one song "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?", which had been released as a single and on the soundtrack to the film Don Juan DeMarco over a year prior, and 4 other singles: "The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me Is You" (the album's second single, released May 28), "Let's Make a Night to Remember", "Star", and "18 til I Die"; the album | 6,130,328 |
536619 | 18 til I Die | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=18%20til%20I%20Die | 18 til I Die
track "I'll Always Be Right There" was also released to radio in the United States. After the release of the album in June, to promote the album, Adams toured around North America and Europe. Perhaps the most memorable of these concerts was playing to more than 70,000 people at Wembley Stadium in July 1996. The album has sold over 3 million copies worldwide.
# Music.
## Recording and production.
The album was written and recorded and produced by Adams and R.J. "Mutt" Lange in a house in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, from Winter 1994 to Summer 1995 and in two different houses in Provence, France, from Autumn 1995 to Spring 1996 using the Warehouse Studio Mobile Unit. Even the mix was done in a house | 6,130,329 |
536619 | 18 til I Die | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=18%20til%20I%20Die | 18 til I Die
in Provence, France, in March 1996 by Bob Clearmountain. Adams played some of these songs live before release; for example, he played "Let's Make a Night to Remember" at a soundcheck in a gig in 1993 during the So Far So Good World Tour. Adams had completed 12 songs by 1995, but felt that something was lacking in the album, and went back and recorded two new songs: "The Only Thing" and "18 til I Die". Adams then named the album "18 til I Die".
# Release.
"18 til I Die" was officially released in June 1996. In the United States the album peaked at 31 on the "Billboard" 200 and held that position for three weeks. In Adams' native Canada, "18 til I Die" reached number 4. The album was released | 6,130,330 |
536619 | 18 til I Die | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=18%20til%20I%20Die | 18 til I Die
in Australia, Europe and New Zealand in late June 1996. The album was a massive commercial success during its release in Europe, reaching number one on the UK Albums Chart, Adams' second in a row. "18 til I Die" reached the top ten in the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Finland, Norway, Austria, Sweden, Germany and Australia, and was a moderate top 20 success in France.
The album was certified platinum in the United States "18 til I Die" was certified three times platinum in Canada and Australia and two times platinum in the UK.
"18 til I Die" included the hit singles "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman", "The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me Is You", "Let's Make a Night to Remember", "Star", | 6,130,331 |
536619 | 18 til I Die | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=18%20til%20I%20Die | 18 til I Die
and "18 'Til I Die", all of which had accompanying music videos. "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?" had been the number one song on the US "Billboard" Hot 100 for five weeks when originally released in spring 1995, while "Let's Make a Night to Remember", the second single from the album to chart in the United States, peaked at 24 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 (and #6 on the adult contemporary chart). The other singles became big hits in Europe. "The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me Is You" was the most successful rock song from "18 til I Die", reaching number 5 on the UK Singles Chart and number 1 on the Canadian Singles Chart. The music video for "The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me Is You" | 6,130,332 |
536619 | 18 til I Die | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=18%20til%20I%20Die | 18 til I Die
received heavy airplay on music television. In early 1997, the track "I'll Always Be Right There" became the album's final single, reaching #3 on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart and #59 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart.
## Album differences.
On 4 November 1996, a second Australian version of "18 til I Die" was released, featuring the song "I Finally Found Someone" (a duet with Barbra Streisand) in place of "You're Still Beautiful to Me" and had an alternative cover with a purple background and a different track order, while the Japanese version contained the bonus song "Hey Elvis".

The film's ensemble cast includes Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, Fritz Weaver, Leslie Nielsen, Ted Danson and E. G. Marshall, as well as King himself in his film acting debut. The film was primarily shot on location in Pittsburgh and its suburbs, including Monroeville, where Romero leased an old boys academy (Penn Hall) to build extensive sets for the film.
The film consists of five short stories: "Father's Day", "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill", "Something to Tide You Over", "The Crate" and "They're Creeping Up on You!" | 6,130,335 |

Two of these stories were adapted from King's short stories, with the film bookended by prologue and epilogue scenes featuring a young boy named Billy (played by King's son, Joe), who is punished by his father for reading horror comics.
The film is an homage to the EC horror comics of the 1950s, such as "Tales from the Crypt", "The Vault of Horror" and "The Haunt of Fear". In order for the film to give viewers a comic book feel, Romero hired long-time effects specialist Tom Savini to replicate comic-like effects.
The film earned $21,028,755 in the United States.
# Plot.
## Prologue.
A young boy named Billy gets disciplined by his father, Stan, for reading a horror comic titled "Creepshow". | 6,130,336 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
Stan reminds his wife that he had to be hard on Billy because he does not want their son to be reading it, calling it "crap". As Billy sits upstairs with hopes of his father rotting in Hell, he hears a sound at the window, which turns out to be a ghostly apparition in the form of The Creep from the comic book, beckoning him to come closer.
## "Father's Day".
The first story, "Father's Day", is an original story by King written for the film. Nathan Grantham, the miserly old patriarch of a family whose fortune was made through bootlegging, fraud, extortion and murder-for-hire, is killed on Father's Day by his long-suffering spinster daughter Bedelia. Bedelia was already unstable as the result | 6,130,337 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
of a lifetime spent putting up with her father's incessant demands and emotional abuse, which culminated in his orchestrating the murder of her sweetheart, Peter.
The sequence begins in 1979 when the remainder of Nathan's descendants—including Nathan's granddaughter Sylvia, his great-grandchildren Richard, Cass, and Cass's husband Hank—get together for their annual dinner on the third Sunday in June.
Bedelia, who typically arrives later than the others, stops in the cemetery outside the family house to lay a flower at the grave site and drunkenly reminisce about how she murdered her insufferable, overbearing father. When she accidentally spills her whiskey bottle in front of the headstone, | 6,130,338 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
it seems to have a reanimating effect on the mortal remains interred below. Suddenly, Nathan's putrefied, maggot-infested corpse emerges from the burial plot in the form of a revenant who has come back to claim the Father's Day cake he never got. Grantham slowly avenges himself on Bedelia and the rest of his idle, scheming, money-grubbing heirs, killing them off one by one (which includes some apparent supernatural abilities such as making a heavy tombstone move by will) before finally attaining his Father's Day cake, topped with Sylvia's severed head.
While the ending is left ambiguous in the film, with Nathan gloating over a terrified Cass and Richard in freeze-frame, the comic book based | 6,130,339 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
on the film gives a vague hint that Nathan's next act was to "blow out their candles."
## "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill".
This section of the film is based on King's short story "Weeds". Jordy Verrill (played by King himself), a dimwitted backwoods yokel, thinks that a newly discovered meteorite will provide enough money from the local college to pay off his $200 bank loan.
As the meteorite is too hot to touch, he douses it with water, causing it to crack open and spew a glowing blue substance that comes into contact with his skin. He then finds himself being overcome by a rapidly spreading plant-like organism that begins growing on his body.
As the weeds start to grow on the house | 6,130,340 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
and everything Jordy has touched, Jordy pours himself a bottle of vodka. He falls asleep and wakes up moments later, only to find out that it was not a dream and that he has now grown a beard of weeds.
As Jordy starts to take a bath, he is cautioned by the ghost of his father that the parasite wants water and to not get in the tub. But when the itching from the growth on his skin becomes unbearable, Jordy succumbs to temptation and collapses into the bathwater.
By the next morning, Jordy and his farm have been completely covered with dense layers of the hideous alien vegetation. In despair, he reaches for a shotgun and blows the top of his head off, thus killing himself. A radio weather forecast | 6,130,341 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
announces that heavy rains are predicted and the audience is left with the dire expectation that this will accelerate the spread of the extraterrestrial plant growth to surrounding areas.
## "Something to Tide You Over".
Richard Vickers, a vicious, wealthy psychopath whose spry jocularity belies his cold-blooded murderousness, stages a terrible fate for his unfaithful wife, Becky, and her lover, Harry Wentworth, by separately luring them out to his secluded beach property and then, at gunpoint, burying them up to their necks below the high-tide line. He explains that they have a chance of survival—if they can hold their breath long enough for the sand to loosen once the seawater covers them, | 6,130,342 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
they could break free and escape.
Vickers sets up closed-circuit TV cameras so he can watch them die from the comfort of his well-appointed beach house. Looking directly into the camera, Harry vows vengeance, to which Richard retorts "Got to hold your breath, Harry". The next day, Richard returns to the spot he buried Harry and finds the ruined camera tripod, but no sign of Harry's corpse. Richard chalks up the lack of corpses due to Harry and Becky being carried off to sea by the current. However, Richard is in for a surprise of his own when the two lovers he murdered return as a pair of waterlogged, seaweed-covered revenants intent on revenge. Richard attempts to barricade himself in his | 6,130,343 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
bedroom, but they suddenly appear inside. He tries to shoot them, but they remind him: "You can't shoot us dead, Richard, because we're already dead!" The couple tells Richard that they intend to do the same to him what he did to them. The camera pans in on Richard as he continues firing gunshots, laughing that this is all a crazy experience. The final scene reveals that Richard is now the one buried in the beach, facing the approaching tide—and the sight of two sets of footprints disappearing into the surf. While the tide is rising, he laughs hysterically, his sanity shattered by the experience, and screams: "I can hold my breath for a long time!" The frame freezes into animation and the flipping | 6,130,344 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
comic pages stop on the title of the next story.
## "The Crate".
Based on the short story "The Crate". A college janitor, Mike, drops a quarter and finds a wooden storage crate marked "Arctic Expedition - June 19, 1834" hidden under a staircase. He notifies Dexter Stanley, a college professor, of the find. The two decide to open the crate and it is found to contain a multi-fanged ape-like creature (Darryl Ferrucci), which despite its diminutive size promptly kills and entirely devours Mike, leaving behind only his boot. Escaping, Stanley runs into a graduate student, Charlie Gereson, who is skeptical and investigates. The crate has been moved back under the stairs and Gereson is killed by | 6,130,345 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
the creature as he examines the crate. Stanley flees to inform his friend and colleague at the university, the mild-mannered Professor Henry Northrup.
Stanley, now traumatized and hysterical, babbles to Northrup that the deadly monster must be disposed of somehow. Northrup sees the creature as a way to rid himself of his perpetually drunk, obnoxious and emotionally abusive wife, Wilma, whom he often daydreams of killing. He contrives a scheme to lure her near the crate, where the beast does indeed maul and eat her. Northrup secures the beast back inside its crate, then drops it into a nearby lake, where it sinks to the bottom. He returns to assure Stanley that the creature is no more. However, | 6,130,346 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
it is subsequently revealed to the audience that the beast has escaped from its crate.
## "They're Creeping Up on You".
Upson Pratt is a cruel, ruthless businessman whose mysophobia has him living in a hermetically sealed apartment controlled completely with both electric locks and surveillance cameras. His apparent contacts with the outside world are through the telephone, where people call to denounce Pratt for ruining their families, and Mr. White, a put-upon employee who is made to run errands. During a particularly severe lightning storm, he finds himself looking out over the concrete canyons of New York City as a rolling blackout travels his way. When it hits his apartment tower, the | 6,130,347 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
terror begins for Mr. Pratt, who now finds himself helpless when his flat becomes overrun by hordes of cockroaches. As the situation rapidly becomes worse, he locks himself inside a panic room, only to find the cockroaches have already infested the room as well. With no way to escape, he is swarmed by the roaches, which induces a fatal heart attack. Later, as electricity returns to the building, Pratt's corpse is shown in the panic room, now devoid of roaches. However, Pratt's body soon begins to contort as roaches grotesquely burst out of his mouth and body, re-enveloping the panic room. Mr. White calls in to report but gets no answer. He then says to himself, "What is the matter, Pratt, bugs | 6,130,348 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
got your tongue?"
## Epilogue.
The following morning, two garbage collectors find the "Creepshow" comic book in the trash. They look at the ads in the book for X-ray specs and a Charles Atlas bodybuilding course. They also see an advertisement for a voodoo doll but lament that the order form has already been redeemed. Inside the house, Stan complains of neck pain, which escalates and becomes deadly as Billy repeatedly and gleefully jabs the voodoo doll as he finally gets revenge on his father for his past abuse.

# Production.
In keeping with Romero's tradition of filming in and around the Pittsburgh area, most of the film was shot in an empty all-girls school | 6,130,351 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
located outside Greensburg, Pennsylvania. The school was converted into a film studio, and the episodes "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" and "They're Creeping Up on You", as well as the prologue and epilogue, were filmed in their entirety at the former school. Filming took place at the Greensburg location throughout 1981.
Several additional locations were also used for filming:
- "The Crate" — most of the interior and exterior shots for the university sequences were filmed at Carnegie-Mellon University (Romero is a Carnegie-Mellon University alumnus), with Margaret Morrison Hall serving as Amberson Hall. The backyard party was filmed in Romero's own backyard at his former residence on | 6,130,352 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
Amberson Avenue in Shadyside, Pennsylvania.
- "Father's Day" was filmed on location at a mansion in the Pittsburgh suburb of Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania.
- "Something to Tide You Over" was filmed on location at Island Beach State Park, Berkeley Township, New Jersey.
In a 2015 interview with "The A.V. Club", Ted Danson explained the brief shot of his character drowning underwater: "So they make a little aquarium tank. I got in a wetsuit and climbed in, and somebody would reach down with an oxygen tank ventilator thingy, and I'd breathe, and then they’d take that out. And there was a yoke made out of… I don’t know, wood and fake sand, so it looked like my head was buried in the sand, underwater."

536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
Cockroaches.
Ray Mendez, an entomologist with the American Museum of Natural History, and David Brody provided 20,000 cockroaches for the episode "They're Creeping Up on You". In the final scene of the segment—in which the room is almost filled with cockroaches—many of the apparent insects were actually nuts and raisins, as specified by Tom Savini.
# Release.
## Box office.
"Creepshow" was given a wide release by Warner Bros. on November 12, 1982. It started with an $8 million box-office gross for its first five days. In its opening weekend, "Creepshow" grossed $5,870,889, ranking #1 in the box office, replacing "First Blood" in the top spot. In total it grossed $21,028,755 in the United | 6,130,354 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
States, making it the highest grossing horror film for the Warner Bros. studio that year.
## Critical response.
Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a 71% approval rating based on 35 reviews; the average rating is 6.3/10. The site's consensus reads: "It's uneven, as anthologies often are, but "Creepshow" is colorful, frequently funny, and treats its inspirations with infectious reverence." Roger Ebert gave the film three out of four stars and wrote, "Romero and King have approached this movie with humor and affection, as well as with an appreciation of the macabre". In his review for "The New York Times", Vincent Canby wrote, "The best things about "Creepshow" are its carefully simulated comic-book | 6,130,355 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
tackiness and the gusto with which some good actors assume silly positions. Horror film purists may object to the levity even though failed, as a lot of it is". Gary Arnold, in his review for "The Washington Post", wrote, "What one confronts in "Creepshow" is five consistently stale, derivative horror vignettes of various lengths and defects". In his review for "The Globe and Mail", Jay Scott wrote, "The Romero-King collaboration has softened both the horror and the cynicism, but not by enough to betray the sources — "Creepshow" is almost as funny and as horrible as the filmmakers would clearly love it to be". David Ansen, in his review for "Newsweek", wrote, "For anyone over 12 there's not | 6,130,356 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
much pleasure to be had watching two masters of horror deliberately working beneath themselves. "Creepshow" is a "faux naif" horror film: too arch to be truly scary, too elemental to succeed as satire". In his review for "Time", Richard Corliss wrote, "But the treatment manages to be both perfunctory and languid; the jolts can be predicted by any ten-year-old with a stop watch. Only the story in which Evil Plutocrat E.G. Marshall is eaten alive by cockroaches mixes giggles and grue in the right measure".
The film has become a cult horror classic. "Bravo" awarded it the 99th spot on their "The 100 Scariest Movie Moments", mostly for the scene with the cockroaches bursting out on Upson Pratt's | 6,130,357 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
body.
# Home media.
The film was first released in 1983 on VHS and CED Videodisc.
A two-disc Special Edition DVD of "Creepshow" was released October 22, 2007 in the UK. The discs feature a brand new widescreen transfer of the film sourced from the original master, a making-of documentary running 90 minutes (titled "Just Desserts: The Making of Creepshow"), behind-the-scenes footage, rare deleted scenes, galleries, a commentary track with director George A. Romero and make-up effects artist, Tom Savini, and more. The owner of Red Shirt Pictures, Michael Felsher is responsible for the special edition, the documentary and audio commentary in particular.
In the United States, Warner Bros. released | 6,130,358 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
a one-disc set with the only extra feature being the film's trailer. No other special features have ever been released with the Region 1 version. The Region 1 DVD was a two-sided disc. One side was the 1.85:1 transfer (widescreen) version of the film and the other side was the full-screen version.
On September 8, 2009, the film was released on Blu-ray. Again the only special feature is the film's trailer. Scream Factory re-released the film on Blu-ray with new special features on October 23, 2018.
Second Sight acquired the license to release a new Blu-ray in the United Kingdom. It contains all of the special features included on the special two-disc edition which was released in 2007. It also | 6,130,359 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
contains a new audio commentary with Director of Photography Michael Gornick, Actor John Amplas, Property Master Bruce Alan Green and make-up effects assistant Darryl Ferrucci.
# Sequels and adaptations.
The film was adapted into an actual comic book of the same name soon after the film's release, illustrated by Bernie Wrightson, (of "Heavy Metal" and Warren magazines fame), an artist fittingly influenced by the 1950s E.C. Comics.
A sequel, "Creepshow 2", was released in 1987, and was once again based on Stephen King short stories, with a screenplay from "Creepshow" director George A. Romero. The film contained only three tales of horror (due to budget constraints) as opposed to the original's | 6,130,360 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
five stories.
Another sequel, "Creepshow 3", featuring no involvement from Stephen King, George A. Romero, or anyone else involved in the production of the first two films, was released direct-to-video in 2007 (though it was finished in 2006) to mostly negative reviews. This film, in a fashion similar to the original "Creepshow", features five short, darkly comedic horror stories.
Taurus Entertainment (rights holders of the original "Creepshow") licensed the rights to Jace Hall, of HDFILMS, a Burbank, California company, to produce "Creepshow: RAW", a web series based upon the original film. The pilot episode for "Creepshow: RAW" wrapped on July 30, 2008. The pilot was directed by Wilmer Valderrama | 6,130,361 |
536521 | Creepshow | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creepshow | Creepshow
r "Creepshow: RAW" wrapped on July 30, 2008. The pilot was directed by Wilmer Valderrama and features Michael Madsen. No other episodes have been produced.
Another "Creepshow" television series was announced in July 2018, which will be produced by Greg Nicotero and stream on Shudder. Each episode of the series will consist of two stories. On January 16, 2019, it was announced that one of the segments of the pilot episode will be based on Stephen King's short story, "Survivor Type" from his 1985 collection, "Skeleton Crew". Adrienne Barbeau will return in a new role, and Tobin Bell will contribute a role. On July 19, 2019, it was announced that the series will premiere on September 26, 2019. | 6,130,362 |

General quarters
General quarters, battle stations, or action stations is an announcement made aboard a naval warship to signal that all hands (everyone available) aboard a ship must go to battle stations as quickly as possible.
According to "The Encyclopedia of War", formerly "[i]n naval service, the phrase "beat to quarters" indicated a particular kind of drum roll that ordered sailors to their posts for a fight where some would load and prepare to fire the ship's guns and others would arm with muskets and ascend the rigging as sharpshooters in preparation for combat."
Aboard U.S. Navy Vessels, the following announcement would be made using the vessel’s public address system (known as the | 6,130,364 |

articular kind of drum roll that ordered sailors to their posts for a fight where some would load and prepare to fire the ship's guns and others would arm with muskets and ascend the rigging as sharpshooters in preparation for combat."
Aboard U.S. Navy Vessels, the following announcement would be made using the vessel’s public address system (known as the 1MC):
"General Quarters, General Quarters. All hands man your battle stations. The route of travel is forward and up to starboard, down and aft to port. Set material condition 'Zebra' throughout the ship. Reason for General Quarters: (Inbound hostile aircraft/Hostile surface contact/etc.)"

Fukuoka–Kitakyushu
One reason for complications in naming is because the whole region itself was once referred to as "Kitakyushu", which had become ambiguous after the city merger in 1963 which created the city by the same name.
These cities may be referred to separately, but often are lumped together since they are close and lie in the same prefecture. Furthermore, their economic spheres, infrastructure, and transport links overlap. Note that the metro areas include the tip of Honshu island (Shimonoseki on Honshu is a significant suburb of Kitakyushu), as well as the northern part of Kyushu. The definition of Northern Kyushu is not a superset of Fukuoka–Kitakyushu; among the ways it differs: | 6,130,388 |

a significant suburb of Kitakyushu), as well as the northern part of Kyushu. The definition of Northern Kyushu is not a superset of Fukuoka–Kitakyushu; among the ways it differs: it generally does not include any cities on Honshu island.
# Definition.
The region consists of the following areas:
- The Ube region may or may not be considered part of this region, depending on definition
- Note: The cities of Ōita, Sasebo, Kumamoto are never included as being part of Fukuoka–Kitakyushu, despite their relative proximity to Fukuoka and Kitakyushu, rather, they are part of Northern Kyūshū.
# Trends.
There is a trend for concentration near Fukuoka, with the other areas declining in importance. | 6,130,389 |

Chilly Beach
Chilly Beach was a Canadian animated series, which aired on CBC Television in Canada and The Comedy Channel in Australia. The series is a comedic depiction of life in the fictional Canadian town of Chilly Beach, described by the producers as "a bunch of Canadians doing the stuff that Canadians do, like playing hockey, drinking beer, and being eaten by polar bears." "Chilly Beach" plays on nearly every conceivable stereotype that people have about Canadians in a satirical manner.
The show began as an animated Flash site on the Web, and was developed into a CBC TV series which first aired in 2003. An early version of the "Chilly Beach" feature film, "", made its theatrical debut | 6,130,394 |
536636 | Chilly Beach | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chilly%20Beach | Chilly Beach
at Cinéfest in September 2005, and as released to DVD on February 4, 2008. A second film, "Chilly Beach: The Canadian President" was also produced.
Guest stars on the show have included William Shatner, Joe Flaherty, Leslie Nielsen, Elvis Stojko, Lawrence Gowan and David Suzuki. The show was produced in Sudbury, Ontario by March Entertainment. In 2011, the series launched in the U.S. on the streaming video website Hulu.

most of his brilliant inventions with a stray puck. He owns a Zamboni and considers ice resurfacing a skilled trade. Devoted fan of hockey, especially his favourite team the Montreal Tourtières, in direct opposition to Frank's support of the Toronto Ptarmigans.
- Frank Shackleford (Todd Peterson) is a beer store manager and Dale's best friend. Also a modest scientific genius; he once created a portal to another galaxy. He holds a PhD in physics, but chooses to run a beer store because "physicists don't get two-fours on weekends".

one episode by William Shatner. At one point he tells the President of Generistan to call him "Henry".
- Dave Macdonald is Dale's perfect and well-loved older brother who appears in only one episode. He is the total opposite of Dale. He came to Chilly Beach hoping Dale would give him a kidney in order to live. However is turns out their blood types are incompatible, so one of them was actually adopted. He got his new kidney thanks to Frank, who was tied up and gagged by Dale. Apparently, he's from Saskatoon.
