Tonight's double bill of British 80s horror junk: BLOODBATH AT THE HOUSE OF DEATH + DON'T OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS. In the 30 years or so since I last saw them on VHS tapes, I had forgotten just how sheerly bloody awful both of these films are.

Tonight's double-bill of Slasher Sequels Where The Wheels Fell Off The Wagon: TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 4 was absolutely terrible and full of imbeciles, while FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 5 was just a routine set of toned-down slayings. It was my first F13 so I always had a soft spot for it... but no more.

Marking the start of this year's @frightfest.bsky.social tonight with probably my favourite closing double. I wasn't happy at all back in 2008, but the wild one-two of MIRRORS and DEATH RACE was exactly what I needed and cheered me enormously.

So: with fingers crossed that I get a Your Host ticket on the day, this is my planned @frightfest.bsky.social lineup (Disco films in pink):

Giallo double-bill tonight: MY DEAR KILLER + SEVEN BLOOD-STAINED ORCHIDS. First one's definitely the better of the two but both were good fun; I'd seen them both before but had forgotten much of them over the years. The picture quality of MY DEAR KILLER on Prime was excellent.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but there's a second screening of BAMBI: THE RECKONING at @frightfest.bsky.social : Thursday at 11pm in Discovery 2.

In exactly two weeks' time I should have my #FrightFest pass sailing into my inbox and I should have a nice coloured spreadsheet with titles chosen and intervals timed.

Since everyone else is doing one, here's my NYT Best Films of the 21st Century list: all you people have seen far more recent movies than I have.

There's another genre they don't make these days: the wisecracking cop action buddy comedy, eg Peter Hyams' RUNNING SCARED. Outside of the occasional BAD BOYS sequel, where are they?

Tonight's double-bill of vintage British cop movies: CARRY ON, CONSTABLE (yes, there's a comma there) is one of the best of the old b/w ones. And THE BLUE LAMP is great: why didn't I have this on my DVD shelf before?

Last night's double-bill: two from Anchor Bay's coffin boxset of Pete Walker films, neither of which I'd watched in years and had mostly forgotten. Enjoyed both, though I think FRIGHTMARE has the slight edge over HOUSE OF MORTAL SIN.

It's a bank holiday weekend, so I double-billed a couple of lesser Carry Ons this evening: GIRLS and AT YOUR CONVENIENCE.
