The first episode of season 2 of The Creep Tapes dropped on @shudder.com yesterday. It’s a great opening episode 😁 #HorrorSky #TheCreepTapes

100 - House of the Long Shadows (1983)
An early example of meta horror. A fun film and the big draw is seeing John Carradine, Vincent Price, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee together on screen. Delightful 😁
That’s also challenge complete! Loved it! Stay spooky 👻 #HorrorSky

99 - Twice Told Tales (1963)
Decided to stay with Vincent Price and anthology horror as we enter the final stretch. #HorrorSky

98 - Tales of Terror (1962)
Roger Corman directed anthology based on Edgar Allen Poe short stories. Vincent Price, Peter Lorre and Basil Rathbone in fine form. Lovely stuff 😁 #HorrorSky

97 - The Green Inferno (2013)
For some reason I missed this Eli Roth film when it was originally released. It’s pretty grisly…😮 #HorrorSky

I don’t want to give any spoilers but I really liked how this film tells its story. #HorrorSky

94 - I Blame Society (2020)
Excellent meta horror / dark comedy / mock documentary from Gillian Wallace Horvat. #HorrorSky

93- Screamtime (1983)
Low budget British-American anthology. It’s very silly and one of the stories has David Van Day from Dollar in it. It’s not great but it is lots of fun 😁 #HorrorSky

Psychological Gothic horror, Alice Krige is fantastic in this. #HorrorSky

91 - The Stylist (2020)
I really enjoyed this. I like @jillsixx.bsky.social’s visual style and she does cool things with split screen and colour/lighting. Absolutely superb performances from Najarra Townsend and Brea Grant too. Check it out 😁 #HorrorSky

90 - The Town that Dreaded Sundown (1976)
I’m sure I read / saw somewhere that this film inspired the burlap sack mask of Jason Voorhees in Friday 13th part 2. It’s an interesting proto true crime slasher with some bizarre almost slapstick comedy moments #HorrorSky

I love a ghost / haunted house story and thought the idea behind this was cool. #HorrorSky

88 - Deranged (1974)
Released a few months before The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) this is also a loose adaptation of the Ed Gein story and shares some interesting parallels. #HorrorSky

87 - The Dunwich Horror (1970)
I have wanted to see this for years. Some great 1970s psychedelic colour filters used in this.

The new issue of @helleborezine.bsky.social arrived today! Very much looking forward to reading it this evening 😁

85 - Cube (1997)
Often framed as a precursor to Saw (2004) and its character and trap based horror. It’s a cool film. It’s very 90s (not a criticism). Also, as a #StarTrek fan, I was happy to see Nicole de Boer AKA Ezri Dax from Star Trek DS9 in this too 😁 #HorrorSky

Some interesting ideas. I’ve not read the Manga that this is based on but I would be tempted to give it a look. #HorrorSky

81 - The Keep (1983)
Michael Mann’s original cut was rumoured to be 210 minutes long and the studio cut it to 96! It is very fragmented and silly but Ian Mckellen is always worth a watch #HorrorSky

80 - A Quiet Place: Day One (2024)
For various reasons I missed this when it came out last year. Which is a shame because it’s great. Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn are excellent….I also really like the cat 🐈‍⬛ #HorrorSky

A good mix of stories. I think the second story ‘Ut Supra Sic Infra” might have been my favourite. #HorrorSky
