@barrycinematic.bsky.social @realweegiemidget.bsky.social Hi, guys. I must apologize on behalf of Andrew and myself for our failure to participate in the Hammer-Amicus blogathon. We had the best of intentions (and desire). Personally, I just had and continue to have way too much going on.

How to have a glorious horror-movie-themed couple of months with your eldest daughter (a lesson in far too many steps):

Step the First: Catch a showing of a 35mm print of Rabid (1977) in the theatre.

Step the Second: Attend Q&A with Rabid director David Cronenberg hosted by Guillermo del Toro.

My daughter saw the horror/comedy Dead Talents Society at its North American premiere and thought it was great. Now that it is on Netflix, she shared it with me. She’s right. It’s a lot of fun.

My eldest daughter and I did a thing during the Christmas break. We experienced both House of Wax (1953) and The Mask (1961) at the theatre in glorious 3D. We even got to keep the glasses for The Mask! 😁

As today would have been the 102nd birthday of Christopher Lee (shared with the 113th anniversary of Vincent Price’s birth), it is only fitting that we share our small tribute to the legendary man.

What’s not to love about a horror movie with Marcia Brady? Actually, a fair bit, but we are still fans of Return to Horror High.

It’s hard to go wrong with a B-movie about fishmen. Throw in Richard Johnson, Joseph Cotten, and Barbara Bach and you have yourself a picture! We look at Island of the Fishmen.
