Talking about more nude scenes…
"If I thought it necessary, I certainly would," she answered.
"You mean if the script called for it?" I persisted.
"No," she said firmly. "Only if the story called for it which is something very different!"

1970 ABC Film Review.
Superb spread on The Dunwich Horror, with a BTS photo I’ve not seen till now.
Career interview with Pamela Franklin, which should be 100 pages longer. She’s in several of my most favourite horrors.
John Hurt enjoying Film Review in Antarctica (for Mr Forbush and the Penguins).

Escape from the Dark (1976, UK title) aka The Littlest Horse Thieves.
Filmed in Yorkshire and Pinewood studios, a children’s film that’s tough. Coal gas, cave-ins, kids in peril and, gulp, pit ponies headed for the slaughterhouse!
Made for Disney this deserves to have had regular showings in the UK.

Bemused that Americans think that ouija boards are used by satanists and lead to gory supernatural death.
Rather than having a chat with a dead auntie.

Oh, and books about Nash the Slash. These arrived today from Skill Records via Bandcamp. A book of Paul Till’s photos of Nash (in and out of bandages!). Bonus bookmark, postcards and a new badge (got another one from 1981 somewhere).
Still looking forward to the new documentary.

Now have the three books by Idries Shah (aka Arkon Daraul) I’ve been chasing.
Vintage occult, rare horrors, movie tie-ins, Guy N Smith and gay penned murder mysteries are about the only things that tempt me to get non New English Library books at rhe moment.

1958. The old ABC Film Review magazines may have dull covers, attempting to get glamour shots of Britain’s top actresses, but I like the two page spreads of the new releases, and of course the full page colour posters!

Today I learned that Andy Warhol watched George Romero’s living dead trilogy and after Day of the Dead (1985) wanted to become a zombie!
Tom Savini obliged with the zombie make-up, assisted by Greg Nicotero. Then Christopher Makos took the photo portraits.
