I've watched all the Final Destinations with my son this Halloween and we have thoroughly enjoyed them. 1-4 are almost identical, but in a good way. 5 was the only one that was slightly under par. But 6 from this year was so good. Easily our favourite.

Watching the 1958 Dracula. One of the scariest things about it is that Peter Cushing is only 45 years old.

Saw Jaws in the cinema for the first time tonight. IMAX to be exact, with my son, for its 50th anniversary. A classic. And I'm always impressed how Roy Scheider opens a bottle of wine the hard way during a long take.

Went to Now or Never Comics in San Diego and picked up two books that I'm pretty sure I've heard about or had recommended by the gang on @afterlunch.bsky.social

Major bucket list fulfilled. I've always loved LA rock history. Read biographies of GnR and The Doors etc. Heard all about the legendary venues like the Whisky A Go Go, the Troubadour, Rainbow Bar & Grill, The Roxy and the Viper Room. I got to go into them all last night! And even Canters Deli. ❤️

In Flagstaff and saw poutine on the menu so had to order it in honour of the Atomic Geeks @hunkburger.bsky.social @theycallmedigio.bsky.social and co. Not sure if BlueSky is letting me rotate my photo though

Enjoying a few food firsts during my stay in America. A Waffle House biscuit (a biscuit is something very different in the UK), cheese grits (I never knew what these were, and still don't) and also a Slim Jim (well it had a picture of the Macho Man on it, so I couldn't not).

Loved my long awaited visit to Galloping Ghost in Chicago. Biggest arcade in the world. And I played the same Karate Champ that I believe @paxholley.com and @hunkburger.bsky.social once played on.

BlueSky has started allowing notifications? Fantastic! I will definitely start using BlueSky more from now on. I had previously been using Twitter purely through lists and notifications to cut through all the noise. Couldn't really even handle BlueSky without that.

I just discovered that @geekmentality.bsky.social has a Slash Horror podcast. How have I missed this!!! I have been educating my son about slashers since Halloween. This podcast is perfect for me right now. From one Mikey to another, thank you Mikey! Any plans to cover Friday 13th or Scream?

I don't believe Bluesky has the ability to set notifications for specific people yet, so I'm hoping I haven't missed @paxholley.com 's New Year Book and Movie Lists! It's not January without them!

I'm about to embark on another time travel push. Watching lots of movies and also this time reading books. @paxholley.com I think you once recommended a series of time travel books? Can you think what that might have been? Any other good time travel book recommendations?

It has to be. The classic ‘The Night Before Christmas’. I have read this every Christmas Eve of my life. First is my own children’s version which has great art. And below that is my childhood one. Amazing.

In the UK we had annuals being released every Christmas. For every comic and TV show imaginable. Hardback, roughly A4 size. Often with drawn comic strips, full page photos, behind the scenes info and games and puzzles. These things were great, especially at Christmas.

I absolutely love these Marvel Handbooks. It was hard to collect them all and they are a treasured collection. They are super informative and the art is just incredible. Check out the random characters below that they even make look cool!

Asterix. I absolutely love the Asterix books. Always have, always will. I love the art, the stories, the names. I’ve managed to collect every book over the years. I would love to add some original Uderzo art for my wall one day.

I was hugely into the WWF back in the late 80s and early 90s. This magazine was great. It felt very glossy and professional. And man, those merchandise pages are sublime. I still want that Macho King tee.

Ladybird books again but He-Man this time! I devoured anything He-Man related when I was younger and these books were great. Some pretty good stories in there actually. I’ll take this opportunity to show some other great modern MOTU books, especially the Dark Horse ones.

Following on from Cinefex yesterday, here is the book that sparked my whole love for movie magic. The Art of Star Wars. Incredible book. Also got the Empire version too. And I can’t mention these without also showing the superb ILM book too. Loved these so much as a kid.

When I was about 10 I got into movie special effects & visual effects. It seemed like magic to me, but also an art and craft. I was in awe and it was what I wanted to do when I grew up. I loved Cinefex. It made you feel like you were getting VIP access.
