This month on The Thriller Cabinet Podcast, join me and @theharvestmaid.bsky.social as we travel through time to explore the endless eerie enigmas of PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK (1975).

Available through Spotify, Apple, or from Libsyn here:
thethrillercabinet.libsyn.com
Colour poster for the film Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975). The top half is an illustration, showing a young woman with blonde hair wearing a Victorian school uniform looking quizzically over her shoulder at the viewer; behind her, three other girls, their backs to the viewer, walk off into the shadows of a rock formation. The bottom section shows six photographic profile shots of members of the film's cast, looking variously stern, troubled, or cheerful. (Perhaps the ones smiling didn't get the memo.)

Join me and @jamesstoorie.bsky.social on the Thriller Cabinet Podcast as we discuss the dank, watery terrors of Henri-Georges Clouzot's classic film LES DIABOLIQUES (1955). You may never bathe again...

Available now via Spotify, Apple, or here:
thethrillercabinet.libsyn.com
This beautiful illustrated poster for Les Diaboliques features a tilted wicker trunk at the left, floating on a bed of greenish watercolours above a translucent submerged body. To the right, two dark female figures stand; the shorter is made of black and white dots, while the taller towers above here in black silhouette, throwing an enlarged, spidery hand around the smaller figure.

In Flames (2023).

Excellent feminist ghost story from Pakistan in which mother & daughter battle the ambiguous attentions of men. Touches of 'Repulsion' & J-Horror.

The Thriller Cabinet Podcast returns! For our 1st episode, we dissect John Frankenheimer's astonishing SECONDS (1966). Join me and @jezconolly.bsky.social as we talk identity, body horror & wild camerawork...

Available via Spotify & Apple, or download from Libsyn here:

Poster for the film SECONDS (1966). The poster is in black and white except for the movie's title and Rock Hudson's name, which are in bold yellow. The central image is circular, with its figures distorted through a fish-eye lense; it shows a man strapped to an operating table, being wheeled down a corridor by two orderlies while a bearded man stands alongside them, reading the last rites from a book. Beneath it to the left is a smaller illustration of several figures who seem to be morphing together, while the title credits are to the right.

Interesting misspelling midway through this article...Peg Powler becomes 'Peg Prowler' the ghost in my story 'Heirlooms', currently in production as a stopmotion animated film...

Childhood Trauma (part two): Words & Pictures Halloween Special.

Mad old woman brings a pumpkin to life that then proceeds to hop, hop, hop around the village on a stick, terrorising the locals. That is until its head is eaten by a pig in graphic close-up.

I loved Words and Pictures but never saw this one until I saw it more recently. This was my favourite, although I did find it a bit unsettling with Winter's behaviour reminding me of a poltergeist.

Didn't get any snow where I am but as it's #OwlishMonday time to rewatch the Words & Pictures episode from 1984 (I think) with an animated version of Arnold Lobel's classic 'Owl at Home', in which he invites Winter into his house.
