I think I’ve just written a Christmas joke, which is odd, because I hate Christmas. Maybe I didn’t, maybe it’s an old one and I just suppressed it.

Why can you contractually never win a game of hide and seek with Father Christmas?

Because of the hidden Clause.

Been thinking about Udo Kier a lot today and his omnipresence throughout my lifelong love of horror.

In Mark Of The Devil (1970), I was so astounded by his beauty that I dubbed him ‘Handsome Udo’; henceforth his forever name.

Sound on for Handsome Udo theme tune!

Many of these are ones I tell anyone who’ll listen to watch. They are also responsible for people taking the piss out of my horror hobby.

When I’m less sensitive about that, I reminds myself that we all mock hobbies we don’t understand. Then I go back to reiterating that The Coffee Table is superb.

After a re-watch of House Of 1000 Corpses (2003) at the weekend, I went off on a Rob Zombie theme (ignore The Mummy (2017)).

Watching a House Of triple back to back gave me a massive appreciation for 3 From Hell (2019) that I didn’t have when I first watched it.

Poster for the horror film House of 1000 Corpses. The right side features a close-up of a decayed, corpse-like face lit in harsh red and yellow tones. On the left, the title “HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES” appears in large red block letters stacked vertically. At the bottom, a dark, ominous image of a rural house glows red under nightfall, with silhouettes and eerie lighting. The text at the top reads, “Written & Directed by Rob Zombie,” and at the bottom, “The most shocking tale of carnage ever seen.” Poster for the horror film Talk to Me. A severed, pale ceramic hand lies on a wooden table beside a lit candle, its fingers stained with blood. Shadowy human hands reach toward it from the darkness above. The background is covered with scribbled, chaotic writing repeatedly saying “TALK TO ME.” A quote at the top reads, “A welcome splash of new blood on the horror landscape.” Near the bottom, text reads: “You call. They’ll answer.” followed by the title Talk to Me and production credits.

This week has been horror films of my youth. Honestly, most held up to the enjoyment levels I remember.

Saw (2004) remains pretty damn brilliant. The screaming at the end still chilled me to my bones. But I take it personally that it’s over 20 years old…

My 300th horror film of the year and 200th classic film of the year was the resplendent The Masquerade Of The Red Death (1964). Delighted to give this honour to the equally glorious Vincent Price.

Vintage movie poster for The Masque of the Red Death starring Vincent Price. The poster features a large red-tinted illustration of a man’s face (Vincent Price) filled with smaller, intricate images of people in anguish and torment. Text on the left reads: “LOOK INTO THIS FACE. SHUDDER… at the blood-stained dance of the Red Death! TREMBLE… to the hideous tortures of the catacombs of Kali! GASP… at the sacrifice of the innocent virgin to the vengeance of Baal!” The title appears at the bottom in stylized black and red lettering, with credits for American International Pictures, Hazel Court, Jane Asher, and director Roger Corman.

Winner of the week: the Arrow release of The City Of The Dead (1960) - free to view on YouTube.

Stellar Amicus-adjacent work from Milton Subotsky with nuanced use repetition to enhance the tale.

The image of Barlow holding the giant cross aloft was haunting af.

The Collector (1965), utterly brilliant. So close to perfection. So, so close.

The Mothman Prophecies (2002) and, in particular, Gothika (2003), not as good as I remember. Twenty years sure does change taste.

I’ve watched Inferno (1980) twice in one week, and I think it’s now my favourite Argento simply for being utterly batsh*t.

The theme song is currently living in my head rent free. Far better than it has any right to be, à la the theme for Lifeforce (1985).

Clusters of ringless honey mushrooms sprouting up everywhere and so my yearly shroom-watch begins.

Afternoon-shrooms and pre-sunrise-shrooms.

🍄‍🟫
Daytime photo of clusters of large, light brown ringless honey mushrooms growing in bright green grass, with fallen leaves scattered around. The mushrooms form dense overlapping groups, showing wide caps with textured surfaces and curled edges. A photo in low light, taken just before sunrise of dense cluster of light brown ringless honey mushrooms growing in green grass, surrounded by scattered brown autumn leaves. The mushrooms are tightly packed with rounded caps, forming a mound-like shape near the base of a small tree.

Scratched the itch of rewatching The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). It gets better every time and I hate the sound of chainsaws more every time too.

Hard recommend for From A Whisper To A Scream (1987). Amicus-vibing portmanteau with 80s slasher violence. Fab!

So I put on Witchboard 2 (1993) expecting a crappy sequel, but turns out it’s as ridiculously great as the first one? What?! 🤣

I’ve never seen a sequel be so lore-perfect to the original.

I’m now so excited to watch Witchboard 3 (1995) as it’s once again written by Kevin Tenney. What a ride 🤣
Movie poster for Witchboard 2: The Devil’s Doorway. A terrified woman with long blonde hair and a white top stares forward as a Ouija board on the table in front of her warps upward into a supernatural vortex. Flames surround the scene. The tagline reads “Everyone’s dying to play.” Actor names appear at the top: Ami Dolenz, Timothy Gibbs, John Gatins, and Laraine Newman.

Last four are top and tailed by two excellent films I’d known nothing about. Gothic tales courtesy of Vincent Price and outrageously perfect 80s schlock courtesy of a ouija board.

Tonight’s evening watch will be Witchboard 2 and I can’t wait! 👻
