Horror films, loud music, vegan food, weird stuff. Sometimes I take photos 😱
Swinton Druids’ Temple, near Ilton in North Yorkshire.
Built around 1800, it’s a folly in the style of Stonehenge.

Show me your old school family Christmas decorations!
I made this Father Christmas at nursery when I was three. I was 49 the other week and he hasn’t missed a year on top of the tree 🎄

The M.R. James instalments of A Ghost Story For Christmas get most of the attention, but don’t overlook the 1977 entry, Stigma.
With its setting among the stones of Avebury and a theme of unearthed ancient terror, it’s a minor #folkhorror classic 🪨

It’s fair to say that I’m obsessed with The Wicker Man. Over a few trips to Dumfries and Galloway, in the south west of Scotland, I’ve managed to visit quite a few of the shooting locations. Join me in this thread as I take another visit to Summerisle …

Some more #folkhorror film locations. A couple of years back I visited Suffolk to see where Witchfinder General was filmed. First stop was Kentwell Hall, where the witch-ducking scene took place.

If you’re watching Lawrence Gordon Clark’s ‘70s run of Ghost Stories For Christmas, don’t forget the unofficial ITV entry, Casting The Runes.
It might have originally been broadcast in April, but the bleak, snowy landscapes make it the most wintry of the lot ❄️

People seem to like the photography more than the horror, so here’s some more.
In 2011 I was lucky enough to visit Antarctica and my favourite location was Deception Island, where I took these photos.

Tonight I’ve been to see @nunkie.bsky.social perform The Ash Tree and Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad by M.R. James at @litandphil. Cracking stuff, as always. If he’s heading your way, don’t miss out.

There’s a lot of weird stuff in The Shining and a LOT has been talked about the weird stuff in The Shining.

Are they coincidences, continuity errors or something more sinister? I honestly don’t know, but here are a few of my favourite bits to look out for …

Some more Exorcist location photos.

If you don’t know me from Insta, you can also find me there under the same name.

So this is where the cool kids are hanging out then?
I mostly post about horror films and this potential new audience is a great excuse to once again share some Exorcist location photos from a trip to Georgetown back in October.
