I'm playing New River Studios on the 28th of November as part of this excellent line up. First show in a while, and, to be honest, I play so irregularly nowadays that it may be the last show in a while as well. Hopefully see some of you down there.

You could just WATCH THE FUCKING FILMS. That the horror critical establishment is only now waking up to the fact that The Terrifier films just might be a tiny bit misogynistic is astounding. You're a critic. Don't get distracted by ‘strong female characters’ in angel wings and do your job properly.

We all need to be reminded of that time Cliff Richard played the dark, brooding antihero in a musical adaptation of Wuthering Heights called simply 'Heathcliff!'

According to Wayne Gooderham's piece on @thequietus.com about Van Morrison:
"a love-struck Van went through a period of crouching inside dustbins in order to surprise – and presumably endear himself to – a girl he was especially besotted with..."

What a glorious age to be a horror fan! Where once there was darkness, now, due to the new 4K restoration, I can see that Brian from Zombie Flesh Eaters is wearing this dope ass 'Daily Planet' T-shirt. A revelation!

Two of my essays are included in the recent @101filmsuk.bsky.social releases of Stuart Gordon's 'Castle Freak' and David Schmoeller's 'Tourist Trap'. They're doing God's work, these small physical release labels. 101-films-store.com/collections/...
