They've gone to great lengths to put up English signs (for a stop with a Welsh name) but surely that's a Spanish station, train and car?!
Also - actual night filming!!

Okay... I don't know a thing about this, but entirely coincidentally there's a killer dressed as Guy Fawkes. Wow!

A kind of late #SHOCKtober - or should it be #WOEvember - the stage production of Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein comes to the Hope Mill Theatre, Manchester.

#SHOCKtober Stepping back into giallo with an Italian thriller with a crazy title - The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion (1970).

#SHOCKtober Another Paul Naschy, and a very mid-70s theme Exorcismo (1975). Apparently Naschy had the idea for the film before the glut of exorcism movies, but I'm assuming that's why it got made?

This is a bit like the Rathbone Sherlock films, shifting the Victorian vampire to present day, so the film is rooted in the London blitz and other WWII matters. Refs to a characters escaping a concentration camp. And look at this set!

Lunchtime #SHOCKtober and Columbia try to pull a Universal by doing The Return of the Vampire (1943) with Bela Lugosi and a wolfman.

The wolf make up is the best so far though.

It's an odd trope, but it seems every Naschy film has a scene where he'd propped up in bed and bandaged.

#SHOCKtober The title card says Curse of the Devil but it's El Retorno de Walpurgis (1973), the next of Paul Naschy's Daninsky werewolf films.

#SHOCKtover Rondo Hatton stars as The Brute (1946). There's something sad about this because, unlike the other Universal "Monsters", that's Hatton's actual face

#SHOCKtober I know nothing about Manos: the Hand of Fate (1966) but @ohsinnerman.bsky.social suggested it. So far, the dialogue seems to have been written after the film was shot, like The Flashing Blade.

I've never seen a Tod Slaughter film before and this is the closest he did to a horror - The Face at the Window (1939) begins by telling us there's a "wolf Man" loose in Paris. It also says the name of the film twice in the first minute. Hurrah!
