Watched The Monster Club (1981). One of the last of many British horror anthology films with big names, hosted by a horror legend. Vincent Price was 3rd choice after Cushing & Lee turned it down but he suits it well. The stories however seem more 60s than 80s, but are camp fun.

Been playing Final Girl. A great thematic mix and match solo boardgame based on horror films. Managed to get all of the first 2 seasons in an October sale. Only played the first film so far, & it took me 3 games to finally defeat the Jason/Leatherface/Mike Myers like bad guy.

Watched Until Dawn (2025). Never played the game, so I don't know how it compares, but the film tries to be many horror genres at once, & ends up a rather incohesive mess as a result. Also no real likeable characters. The main good point is the use of practical effects.
#horror #film #movies
The poster for Until Dawn. An hour glass with a screaming teen stuck in the top, while her sand pours down into the bottom which has a house on top of many skulls.

Watched Psychomania (1973) US: The Death Wheelers. A British horror biker film that is extremely silly and a lot of fun, but played totally seriously.
#film #horror #movies
A black white and red poster for Psychomania (m). Psychomania in red, Seven Suicides - and they roared back as The Living Dead in red, but the rest in black and white, a skull wearing a cycyle helmet and a montage of crashes, accidents and suicides.

Watched Charade (1963) Mystery romcom with a big cast led by Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. Lots of twists and turns though the final reveal felt a bit of a damp squib.
#film #movies
Poster for Charade. Cary Grant * Audrey Hepburn. "You can expect the unexpected when the play... Charade" Co-starring Walter Matthau, James Coburn. Screenplay by Peter Stone. Produced and Directed by Stanley Donen. Music by Henry Mancini. A Universal Release.

Watched The Invisible Man (2020). An interesting modern update of the H.G. Wells classic seen from the victims point of view with the eponymous character the gaslighting, controlling husband who stalks her after his apparent death. Elisabeth Moss as always acts her socks off.
#film #movies
Poster for The Invisible Man. What You Can't See Can Hurt You. Elisabeth Moss. The Invisible Man. February 28. Half a face and shoulder of Elisabeth Moss is shown in the shower. In the glass behind her is a palm print in the steam. A scene shown on the posters and in the trailers but cut out of the film because the invisibility is created by a suit and so he wouldn't be able to put his bare hand on the glass without being seen.

Rewatched The War of the Worlds (1953). Despite its major changes such as being set in America instead of the UK and the Martian vehicles floating instead of walking on tripodal legs, this George Pal adaptation of the H.G. Wells classic is iconic cinema.

Watched Pearl (2022). Not usually a big fan of prequels, but much preferred this to X and Mia Goth is really great as the disturbed farm girl.
#film #movies #horror
Poster for Pearl. Against a black background, an innocent looking young woman has her head resting against her hands - but her hands are bloodied and as red as her dress. Below the poster shows the same figure holding up an axe as blood trickles down into a spotlight of blood that pools into the L of Pearl, The XTraordinary Origin Story. Mia Goth. A film by Ti West.

Watched Doctor Cyclops (1940) which is also my cult calendar poster for this month. Not sure if I saw it as a child or just saw clips & trailers, but its very typical mad scientist fare from that era.

Watched Alien: Earth (2025). I am always wary of prequels. I usually find them restricting, predictable, over referential and often contradictorary. That said however, I did enjoy this show & felt it brought in some new ideas as well as filling in some previously missing back story.

Rewatched The Wrong Box (1966). A fun farce full of comedy legends, with Michael Caine & Nanette Newman as the white hats against Peter Cook & Dudley Moore playing their evil but inept cousins with many famous faces filling up the rest of the cast with comedy cameos.
#film #movies #comedy
A long but thin poster for The Wrong Box. A capped Michael Caine is peering through a letterbox (though no door) at a yawning and stretching Nanette Newman in her nightie. Various other scenes much smaller are dotted around the cast - A Bryan Forbes production starring John Mills, Ralph Richardson, Michael Caine (of "Ipcress File" fame(, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Nanette Newman, Tony Hancock as The Detective and Peter Sellers as Dr Pratt.

Watched Terrified (2017) Original title Aterrados, is an Argentinian horror movie that can be quite disturbing & atmospheric while at other times can be over pedestrian. I would recommend watching in the original Spanish with subtitles over the English dub, which is not good.
#movies #film #horror
Poster for Aterrados. A humanoid figure is splitting open. It has pupiless eyes and pale hairless skin, with a mouth open on both sides of the split.

Watched The Pope's Exorcist (2023). A pretty standard exorcism movie made different by starring Russel Crowe playing the title character who was also a real person, with the film being based on the book of his life. Crowe brings character to the role & the film looks good.
#film #movies
Poster for The Pope's Exorcist. Russel Crowe as a Catholic priest holding a bible in one hand and a cross in the other, standing in front of a tomb like doorway surrounded by carved depictions of skeletons and demons.

Adopted these two amazing 8 year old sisters Molly & Dolly 2 months ago after losing our 18 year old JRT last year and it's like they've been part of our family forever. They've helped improve both my mental and physical health too.

Watched The Monkey (2025). A fun adaptation of the Stephen King short story. Although some overplayed tropes can be seen coming, they are dealt with in such inventive over the top tongue in cheek ways that the film can be enjoyed on multiple watches.
#film #movies
Poster for The Monkey. Mostly black, in the middle a lopside title (TH/E MON/KEY) with below in the bottom right corner is part of a toy mechanical monkey with one bright red eye and open lips showing a large row of teeth.

Rewatched Kung Pow! Enter The Fist (2002). Following previous parodies like What's Up, Tiger Lily?, Kung Pow uses footage from a foreign film &creates its own comedy. Very silly but I appreciated it more on rewatch as it has heart & some clever ideas, & many of the jokes land.

Watched Dead Shack (2017) A lovely little low budget comedy horror gem. Some of the younger cast's acting is a bit ropey but the dad is very funny & the biggest name, Lauen Holly is very good playing against type in an unexpected role. Lots of laughs & originality.

A poster for Dead Shack. A group of people in various makeshift protective gear on a black triangle against a luminous pink splatter background against a darker purple background.

Rewatched The Day After Tomorrow (2004) for the first time after seeing it at the cinema. I remember sitting there wondering why I had bothered & laughing inside at the frost chase scene. Probably the worst film I saw on the big screen & I have seen some howlers.
#movies #film
Poster for The Day After Tomorrow. The Statue of Liberty is underwater with only her crown, right arm and torch above the crashing waves, though you can still see New York in the background. The headline says "From the director of Independence Day", "The Day After Tomorrow", "May 28 Where Will You Be?"

Honestly I'm surprised it's taken this long for lamp post flags to appear near me as its a very chavvy part of the neighbourhood, but it still makes me sad and angry.
An English street - some of the lamp posts have union and England flags midway up. There's also a house with a caravan parked in the drive that has a banner of them across.
