ChatGPT said: Seven-year-old Ben had not yet learned to fear snow. So when he looked out of the window that morning to see snowflakes falling past his window, he didn’t see the horror implied by the storm. He saw a flurry of white magic, falling down to cover the land around his home in fresh adventure. It was just after dawn, and Ben had rushed downstairs from bed to open the first little window on his advent calendar. The countdown had finally begun. Twenty-four little doors to be opened before the big day. How could it get any better? How about waking up inside a winter wonderland? He watched the snow fall faster, turning the outside world into a white blur. The last time it had snowed was over two years ago. How lucky he was to begin the Christmas countdown this way. Ben crept back to the hallway and looked up the staircase towards his parents’ bedroom. The door was still closed, the soft low rumble of snoring vibrating through the door. Still sleeping. His parents had always been funny about snow. Always told him how dangerous it was, how the cold could make you very ill. He had never been allowed outside to fully enjoy it. Not until his parents said so, and by then it was always too late. The snow would be beginning to melt, not solid enough to play with any more. Just this once, he would go outside and make the most of it.

Start your week with a Flash ⚡ – listen to part one of our podcast episode on this horror-coded kids’ classic. bit.ly/3JzbZ7p
Four-image collage featuring scenes and references from Flash Gordon (1980). Top left: a woman in ornate red-and-gold armour aiming a ray gun. Top right: a blond man wearing a white “FLASH” T-shirt lies on the ground with a gold glove gripping his neck. Bottom left: a performer in a “FLASH” T-shirt sings passionately on stage. Bottom right: a bald man with a pointed beard and golden costume stares menacingly. A figure wearing a gold metallic skull mask and black hood stands in front of bare-chested guards in futuristic armour. Below, the words “General Witchfinders” appear in a gothic cream-coloured font on a black background.

“Gordon’s alive?!”

Is Flash Gordon a horror film? It’s certainly more than a little bit sci-fi. We cover Dino De Laurentiis’s 1980 cult classic in our latest podcast episode.

As massive #BigChrisLee fans on our British horror podcast, we imagine a world where the Cushing Dr. Who films continued and Christopher Lee appeared as the Master.

Which Master story should have had the movie treatment, and how would it have played out?

Struggling to find a Boon connection for Flash Gordon – there must be one! Any ideas? Did anyone from the cast or crew work on Boon? (Listen to the podcast for context.)
