Now there’s a Betty Boop horror film because she’s out of copyright? And to think, you could do a low-budget BARBIE/LAST SHOWGIRL drama about a vintage icon struggling in the modern world or something. You DON’T have to just apply a slasher film formula to such things, people!

We picked up some ALIEN vibes from PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES. This and more totally unique thoughts can be heard in this week’s brilliant episode with guest @www.johnbleasdale.com. Listen below! 👇🏻 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/v...

It would be hilarious if they suddenly and genuinely believe they can’t make another BOND movie because he died in the last one. Nobody did their research before buying the IP at Amazon/MGM, and nobody has the imagination to figure out how to explain a new 007. 😂

Are feminist voices just drowned out of the hive mind in PLURIBUS?

🚀 Mario Bava’s influential sci-fi horror PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES is our film this week, with new guest @www.johnbleasdale.com arriving via space-podcasket podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/v...

Loved the first two episodes of PLURIBUS, but I’ve heard worrying talk about future episodes not really progressing things on now the concept’s established. And I can imagine that being true, but hope it pulls a trick similar to THE LEFTOVERS.

🪐 PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES (1965) We’re back! In space! Mario Bava’s cult classic is up for discussion, with new guest @www.johnbleasdale.com beaming up to talk about it… www.vampirevideos.co.uk/126-planet-o...

Some gut reaction thoughts. letterboxd.com/danowen79/fi...

The bizarre thing is that PREDATOR is only at No.4 because more recent reviews have negatively impacted it. It’s clearly the best one and the basis for it ALL. Is there even debate about that? Crazy huh? Younger critics have strange taste, preferring whatever looks the most modern. Maybe?

Imagine being Lee Cronin and making a new MUMMY movie, which suddenly has to be renamed… then they announce THE MUMMY 4 with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. Will we ever escape nostalgia-bait defeating attempts to do something new? 🤨

It’s just so “A.I” isn’t? Kind of fitting that humans can already sniff it out, and it’s not a good look for a multi-billion dollar company like Coca-Cola to deny talented artists and filmmakers paid work at Christmas.

You may want to join our Bite Club (for just £1 a week), because… umm, well… later today… your prayers may be answered… 🤔 ko-fi.com/vampirevideos

I’m not going to embed it, but the Coca-Cola Christmas advert is entirely generated by A.I, and the sad truth is we’re becoming so used to A.I-made video that we can detect that ‘fake, too-smooth’ vibe and it thus carries an aura of cheapness. Great work damaging your brand.

I'd not heard of this before it was covered on @vampirevideos.co.uk - may have a watch if it's on 4's catch-up. bsky.app/profile/vamp...

Crazy that Affinity just released a new suite of their products and it’s FREE. You can just download and use Adobe PhotoShop-level software on Windows/Mac for… nothing.

Who won Halloween?

We’re going in. I haven’t seen GHOSTWATCH since 1992 when it aired, and I was 13… will it hold up? 🤞
