Just a girl who is passionate about classic films - from horror, sci-fi, noir, giallo, to cult TV & everything in between🎥🎥🎬
Edgar Allen Poe was born today in 1809 - so I've gone with 1 of my favourite Roger Corman films.
Vincent Price plays the tortured soul better than anyone & him in full *mad men* mode - relishing the dropping of the death blade - it's a blast!

#NW House on Haunted hill released today in 1959
I love this film because of the fantastic Vincent Price!
For me he steals the show as the twisted Frederick Loren - he's so perfectly charming & wonderfully sarcastic!
"There will be food & drinks & ghosts!"

#NW X: The Man with the X-ray eyes '63
Hell I wish I could time travel & seen this in the cinema in the 60s!

BOTD Dana Andrews 1909 (died '92)
Tonight's choice is a classic B&W film that's just full of atmosphere!
Andrews is great as the skeptical John Holden up against the superbly devilish Julian Karswell!
It's so perfect for this cold winters night!

#NW The Exorcist released today 1973!
What can I say about the 1st horror film EVER to be nominated for an Oscar!
People queued to see it, audience members fainted or vomited & it's even been called a *cursed* film!
Hell even today it still unnerves & unsettles me!

#NW The Woman in Black premièred today '89.
This tragic gothic ghost story is 1 of my favourites - there's no gore or splatter here!
Hell - when me & @abic1974.bsky.social went to see the awesome stage play in London - it was SO unsettling!
It's a perfect tale for tonight!

It's a tradition in my house at Christmas to watch ghost stories & I've lined up a double bill of this horrifying tale!
1st the TV film & then Robert Powell brings this story to life in a half dramatised retelling = CREEPY AS F***!

BOTD Freddie Francis, 1917 (died 2007)
Even winning 2 Oscars & 5 BAFTAs - he's best known for his horror movies!
Maybe a couple of his Hammer or Amicus movies are in your favourites!
Now I'm gonna watch a couple of his films I always enjoy!

I'm a huge Argento fan & hell I like this for it's great soundtrack & gory deaths!
But what takes it to another level are the scenes where the killer forces Betty's gaze - possibly 1 of the most wince inducing film “weapons” of all time!

Here's a bit of useless trivia for you all!
When Mel Brooks was invited in 2014 to add his mark to the Hollywood Walk of Fame - he decided to add an extra prosthetic finger to his hand print!
He certainly added comedy to everything he did!

I've watched it countless times..in the night..in the dark!
"It was a house without kindness, never meant to be lived in, not a fit place for people, or for love, or for hope."
