Didn’t take part in the 31 days of horror #Shocktober challenge last month, but still managed a few Halloween horrors amongst my monthly total of 22 films watched. 197 viewed so far this year. Aiming for a modest target of 250 total for 2025 now… #FilmSky

After watching The Conjuring - Last Rites last night (which I thought was pretty decent), it dawned on me I never actually saw the last Annabelle spin-off film, from the same franchise. So better make amends I suppose… #NowWatching Annabelle Comes Home (2019). #Horror #Halloween #Annabelle #FilmSky

Following up with a first spin of the new AFI, who have gone full-on Sisters Of Mercy Goth Rock on this one. Great package too including double-sided poster, stickers & sampler CD! #NowPlaying AFI - Silver Bleeds The Black Sun (2025). #Vinyl #Records #AFI #Rock #Metal #Punk #Goth #MusicSky

The number of films I’ve watched over the years must be in five figures by now (I’ve logged over 8,500 on Letterboxd alone!), but somehow I’ve never seen this… #NowWatching #FilmSky

My Amazon Prime ‘Watchlist’ is getting a bit out of hand, so I suppose I better start watching a few titles I’ve added to it, starting with this “Frightfest presents” offering… #NowWatching The Farm (2018) #FilmSky #Horror #FrightFest

Well, that was abysmal. I chuckled maybe twice, cringed multiple times, struggled to make it to the end (& it’s less than 90mins!). One of the worst remakes I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen the remake of Get Carter!!! #TheNakedGun #FilmSky
