One day, life will settle down and I can get back to uploading archive wrestling to YouTube.

He/Him
I awoke to discover the 3 year old in my room. He grabbed a book from the shelf, climbed into the bed and insisted I read it to him.

He was a little disappointed to discover that Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich was not a story about a penguin. Nevertheless, he persisted with it.

All of these things sound like they are just the worst.

Show me a single independently verified source that demonstrates that a rented home is not a home lad.

If you live in a place, it is your home, regardless of ownership status. This fact remains true whether Thatcherite landlords like you choose to recognise it or not.

In night 31's final film masked Mexican luchador legends battle mad scientists, evil clones, zombies, vampires, a mummy, a wolf-man, a cyclops and Frankenstein's monster. It's nonsensical, joyous and the most Halloween film not to feature Michael Myers, Santo and Blue Demon vs. the Monsters (1969).

The first of two night 31 watches for Halloween night was Rose Glass' brilliant psychological body horror looking at loneliness, religious devotion, desire and delusion. A frightening, stray, beautiful, intriguing and melancholy film, Saint Maud (2019).

Night 30 was an affecting Australian family horror depicting three generations of women from the same family becoming increasingly trapped in an infested house. The depiction of the impacts of dementia is as moving as it is frightening and the three central performances are superb, Relic (2020).

Night 29 was the first screen adaptation of a Stephen King novel and one of the most recognisable films in cinema. The horrors of religious dogma, adolescence and high school bullying give way to the carnage caused by an ostracised girl's telekinesis, Carrie (1976).

Night 28 was a gruesome and hugely entertaining Jaws knock-off with a well realised creature. A childhood pet is flushed down the toilet and mutates into a 36ft monster with an insatiable appetite, breaking out of the Chicago sewers, Alligator (1980).

The @greenparty.org.uk are getting their highest poll ratings to date.

And if the Labour Party was led by anybody else, it would be on at least 20 points in the polls.

Night 27 was a surreal and visually unique film depicting the descent of an eccentric crematorium worker into a totalitarian murderer, in parallel to the decline of the First Czechoslovak Republic, the rise of Nazism in 1930s Europe and the implementation of the Holocaust, The Cremator (1969).
October 28, 2025 at 12:46 AM
Night 26 was a strong performance by Kristen Stewart in Olivier Assayas' mysterious and suspenseful tale of a woman trying to balance the duel existence of an aide to a wealthy celebrity and a medium grieving her dead brother while being stalked by an otherworldly presence, Personal Shopper (2016).
October 26, 2025 at 11:12 PM
Night 25 was Michael Haneke's postmodern home invasion satire that probes our desire to seek out horror and screen violence and challenges its limits. A smug, nihilistic and difficult watch, Funny Games (1997).
October 25, 2025 at 9:57 PM
Night 24 and a magnificently crafted French thriller adapted from a Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac novel, filled with gripping Hitchcockian style suspense, plot twists and a finale that takes a turn decisively towards horror, Les Diaboliques (1955).

Night 23 and Guillermo del Toro makes his excellent directorial debut with an original reworking of vampire mythology. Far removed from the usual gothic glamour, this gives us horrific transformation and the folly of the desire to totally control life, Cronos (1992).
October 23, 2025 at 9:52 PM
Night 22 was Brian Yuzna's directorial masterpiece. A striking blend of class based social satire, conspiracy thriller and grotesque body horror. Suspicions of murder and bizarre ritualistic orgies among wealthy Beverley Hills elites lead to one of the most extreme climaxes in film, Society (1989).
October 22, 2025 at 10:14 PM
Night 21 and the first colour version of one of horror's classic staples is a pretty run of the mill Hammer production with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Entertaining enough but nothing special and with unfortunately predictable doses of brownface and Orientalism, The Mummy (1959).
October 21, 2025 at 8:39 PM
Night 20 was arguably the greatest horror sequel ever made. James Whale's direction brings camp joy and a heightened gothic atmosphere, with Boris Karloff bringing fear and pathos to his monster in equal measure such a star turn that he is billed by surname only, Bride of Frankenstein (1935).
October 20, 2025 at 11:08 PM
Night 19 was Hammer Film Productions' successful first foray into horror. A remake of Nigel Kneale's highly influential and largely lost BBC science fiction alien mutation horror serial from two years prior, The Quatermass Xperiment (1955).
