It's October now, and Amzon Prime have just put up a ton of 80s horror movies: THE HOUSE WHERE EVIL DWELLS, CREATURE (TITAN FIND), GHOULIES 1+2, DOLLS, MONKEY SHINES, HOWLING II, CELLAR DWELLER, NECROPOLIS, THE VIDEO DEAD, I MADMAN, SCARECROWS...

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):
August 16, 2025 at 11:58 AM
Finally settled on my @frightfest.bsky.social choices. Now it all depends on my getting the Disco tickets....
August 14, 2025 at 1:07 PM
So I'm starting to get my @frightfest.bsky.social schedule together but I have some clashes....

TRANSCENDING DIMENSIONS / DON'T LET THE CAT OUT
IN A COLD VEIN / CONFESSION
MARSHMALLOW / PIG HILL / FIVE
SELF-HELP / CARETAKER / BLOOD SHINE
BONE LAKE / NOSEEUMS
REDUX REDUX / DEATH CYCLE

Help!

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.
August 3, 2025 at 11:14 PM
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?
June 22, 2025 at 10:48 PM
Watched ANORA yesterday. That was Best Picture? Really?

June 1, 1984: the day I started my cinema and film obsession. And the film was .... (picture from @davidhyman.bsky.social ).

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?
May 29, 2025 at 10:19 PM
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.
