Have yourself a Hieronymus Bosch Christmas.
This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

News that a missing episode from BBC2's Late Night Horror may be returned soon pleases me greatly. I've seen The Corpse Can't Play at an official screening and that was very dark!

Five for a Pound DVDs of Halloween Day 5.
Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977)
You've seen it. Hilariously bad in places. Great visuals. Great Morricone score. Essential for all the wrong reasons. Wish I'd kept that rare Making of paperback though. The End. Or is it ? Yes.

Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019)
I don't think I've ever seen a true crime serial killer flick that I didn't like. Zac Effron is great as Ted Bundy. I didn't recognize Hayley Joel Osment. James Hetfield from Metallica is a cop! Recommended.

Half Light (2006)
Demi Moore stars as a thriller writer who moves to a Scottish village after her son drowns. Okay ghost story/murder mystery made for people that don't really like horror films. Worth a look.

From Within (2008)
Revenge curse becomes a virus. Obviously influenced by J-Horror and It Follows. Not bad at all.

We used to think the future would be a warless, disease-free, gleaming utopia, but it turned out to be more like the plot of a zero-budget, straight-to-VHS, B-movie horror sci-fi that's so awful it doesn't even possess a so-bad-it's-funny-and-cool kind of charm.
