Nick Freand Jones: "[Alex Cox] was outspoken, he was very political, he didn't suffer fools gladly, and he had very distinct tastes."

Alex Cox: "...you can't decide to make a cult film. If you intend to make a cult film, you will fail... you will fail really, really badly."

From 1988 until 1994, Alex Cox presented Moviedrome every Sunday night on BBC2, curated by Nick Freand Jones.

For @starburst.bsky.social, in anticipation of BFI bringing the cult TV series to the big screen this July & August, I've asked Alex & Nick to return to the Moviedrome... 📺

For @starburst.bsky.social #490, I explore Vernon Zimmerman’s blood-splattered love letter to the Golden Age of Hollywood! FADE TO BLACK (1980) is an underseen psychological midnight movie overshadowed by a grotesque yet gorgeous spectrum of slashers!

For the first issue of Abhartach Magazine - THE FIRST HARVEST 🌾 - I wax lyrical about Clive Barker's psychosexual folk horror gorefest: RAWHEAD REX!

For @starburst.bsky.social #489, I explore Roger Corman's most interesting and offbeat horror movie, 1963's X: THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES. Remember, “if thine eye offends thee… pluck it out!”

For @starburst.bsky.social #488, I explore Shinya Tsukamoto's 1989 monochromatic ode to cyberpunk fetishism, TETSUO: THE IRON MAN. Complimented by a relentless industrial score, Tetsuo led to an increasingly horrific new wave of 90's J-Horror.

“Darkness falls across the land / The midnight hour is close at hand / Creatures crawl in search of blood / To terrorise y’all’s neighbourhood…”

I've written a few words for @attackplanetb.bsky.social confirming why #VincentPrice is widely regarded as a cinematic icon of the horror genre!
