Physical media, baking, standing stones, these are a few of my favourite things.

It’s a game of two halves for my #lastfourwatched

First we had queer Chinese romance and character dramas followed by a bonkers Rock Hudson melodrama.

After that it’s the manliest films ever made with the first two Predator films, rewatched to prep for Predator: Badlands

#nowwatching It’s the day after #Halloween so it’s apt to watch The Day After Halloween (1979), or Snapshot if you’re outside the US.

Plus after a weekend of Ozploitation at Forbidden Worlds I’m hankering for some more Australian goodness.

Getting ready for a midnight #halloween screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show at @wshed.bsky.social and on getting into the theatre I see there’s a script for audience participation?

Starting to wonder just what I’ve gotten myself into!

My penultimate watch for #hooptober is the infamous 1992 broadcast that cased an uproar, GHOSTWATCH!

I was too young to see this back then, but I hope I’m grown up enough to endure Parky meeting a ghost. Been saving this just for Halloween!

It’s #lastfourfriday and I’m finishing up my #Hooptober list

We have Palestine’s first horror movie, my annual rewatch of WNUF and John Carpenter’s almost cozy ghost story.

Plus there’s my first watch of the BFI’s melodrama season. Fell in love with Jane Wyman ❤️

Day two of @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social and here is where we get to see some right dinkum boguns getting up to a bit of right nasty mischief.

Having myself an autumnal treat before the second half of Forbidden Worlds gets going. Pumpkin spice, big cookie and a heartwarming tale of adorable small town people (and serial murder).

After having to miss the last couple I’ve finally made it back to the Big Scream edition of @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social

Ozploitation is one cinematic rabbit hole I’ve wanted to get deeper into for a while. Those Aussies know how to have a good bloody time

My #lastfourwatched has an unintentional theme: ladies being extra.

We have anime ladies going crazy, German ladies getting arty and fabulous, twin ladies getting stabby and old timey lady getting spooked.

I have just survived three and a half days of dimension hopping, murder, ghosts and hell portals at @mayhemfilmfestival.bsky.social and I’m a bit tired. But I had an absolute blast! Nothing but hits all festival. Must now sleep. 😴

And in five days I’m doing it again at Forbidden Worlds! 😳

Back for day two of @mayhemfilmfestival.bsky.social and the film that got me to come all the way to Nottingham, CHESS OF THE WIND.

Been watching a fair bit of Iranian film this year, so I’m eager to see this almost lost pre-revolutionary era masterpiece.

Started off my first ever trip to @mayhemfilmfestival.bsky.social with my first ever world premiere of a feature film, GAME.

A delightful mix of nineties rave culture, Rear Window, The Most Dangerous Game and Penda’s Fen. It’s really good!

Now seated for the first film of @mayhemfilmfestival.bsky.social for which I traveled all the way from Bristol.

Current status: Anticipation!

I have made it to Nottingham for @mayhemfilmfestival.bsky.social !

It’s a nice place!

#Hooptober bonus watch #7, Guillermo del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN!

Got a preview screening thanks to #lff25 and I’m sure this will be an epic highlight. Del Toro does live his monsters with humanity, so this should be perfect for him.
October 13, 2025 at 6:55 PM
Soon I’ll be watching Whistle And I’ll Come To You with a live score by @deathandvanilla.bsky.social

A fun little treat for my #hooptober challenge thanks to @cubecinema.com

Normally a December watch for me, but I’ll make an exception for this special occasion.
October 12, 2025 at 6:05 PM
#nowwatching my #hooptober bonus film #5, Bugonia!

A sneaky addition thanks to #lff25 and @wshed.bsky.social also the second new release this year where Emma Stone gets her life upended by our conspiracy loving world.
October 11, 2025 at 6:52 PM
#nowwatching my first film of the #lff2025 line that’s come to @wshed.bsky.social It Was Just An Accident

My gradual dive into Iranian cinema continues. I’ve been amazed so far by how much amazing cinema is unknown in the west. Sure this will impress as well.

#nowatching my #hooptober film 17/31 and my pick for a film from a former Soviet state (Kazakhstan)

Honestly, I'm just in the mood for some horror comedy right now. Lets see if those wacky Kazakhs can bring the mirth along the gore.

It’s time to show my #lastfourwatched

We have me finishing off the zombie portion of #hooptober with one classic and one not so classic.

Plus two New York tales from its dirtbag era, one a serious drama, one absolutely not. But both great.

#nowatching my #hooptober film 16/31 and zombie film 5/5, George A. Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD!

Closing out the zombie portion of the Hooptober challenge with the closing entry of the Dead Trilogy. I had an absolute blast revisiting these for the first time in years.

#nowatching my #hooptober film 14/31 and my pic for a film written by Ernesto Gastaldi, The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh.

What's better than a sexy giallo? One which stars Edwige Fenech of course!

It’s #lastfourfriday

This time we have three #hooptober watches, in the form of a Czech examination of the mind of a fascist, British The Last of Us but not really and synthetic fleeeeeesh!

Plus a woman gets drunk in Berlin, but arthouse.

#nowatching my #hooptober film 12/31 and my pick for a film from 1932, Doctor X!

The cast is a who’s who of thirties Hollywood talent (The director of Casablanca, Michael Curtiz. Fay Way is here in another genre classic) so I’m hyped for some mad scientist goodness!
October 2, 2025 at 7:57 PM
#nowatching my #hooptober film 11/31 and zombie movie 3/5, The Girl With All The Gifts.

Taking a pause from the Romero zombie films too see a British take on a post apocalyptic zombie world.
