Time booked off in May next year for @dcadundee.bsky.social #Dundead festival. Now, just need to get the tickets when on sale...or can I put down a deposit on my favourite seat?

Mentally, today is not going well. That is all.

Loved seeing this @dcadundee.bsky.social last night. I'd seen clips before but had never seen the film as a whole, but it looked sensational on the cinema screen and the newly commisioned score from Andrew Wasylyk and Tommy Perman was terrific. A superb way to end the DCA #Dundead Halloween season.

For personal reasons, the Blog will be on hiatus for the rest of the year. Until then, you can find my thoughts on film here at @letterboxd.social boxd.it/4jqV

Rewatching the horror classic The Haunting, based on Shirley Jackson's The Haunting Of Hill House. It's a good time to recall my favourite ghost stories... #TheHaunting #GhostStory #Film #TheHauntingOfHillHouse #Horror thegrumpofhorror.wordpress.com/2024/11/17/f...

Shown @dcadundee.bsky.social with the screening of Evilspeak, The Nightwalker is an atmospheric short, the work of Mark Reyes, who stars, writes and directs. It plays like an extended trailer for a longer film, which I would like to see if Reyes were to make it. #Dundead

I can't say Evilspeak is a good film. There are many things wrong with it. Aspects have not aged too well either. But that said, this variation of Carrie, is enjoyably nasty. Looked great on a cinema screen, being shown from an old VHS tape. @dcadundee.bsky.social #Dundead

Tonight’s movie @dcadundee.bsky.social #Dundead

Going forward, my list of films seen @dcadundee.bsky.social #Dundead that originally was for this year’s festival will now be a list of all Dundead screenings from now on. You can find it here. boxd.it/GUXm2

Made in 1959, Yesterday's Enemy was made by Hammer. It may get lost among their films due to the success of their Gothic Horrors, but it's an absorbing, brutal and thoughtful film about the decisions made during war. About to start on Film4+1 if you want to see it. #Hammer

Perfect for Sunday evenings #MikeOldfield Give this playlist a listen: Oldfield Pieces open.spotify.com/playlist/5AM...

Another two film cinema day… #Horror #Film #Alien #TheMonsterSquad

he’s a 10 but…he’s a zombie🧟

Before the film… Person next to me: “how scary can it be!” After the film… Person: “Feck me!!” The Descent, terrifying audiences for 20 years. #TheDescent #Dundead @dcadundee.bsky.social

An appropriate t-shirt for tonight’s @dcadundee.bsky.social #Dundead screening, of the 4K restoration of The Descent.

Two film day at the cinema and two horror classics.

Finished Boys In The Valley by Philip Fracassai. Really enjoyed this one. #Horror #Booksky

The Curse Of Frankenstein was incredible on the cinema screen. The 4K restoration was stunning. A glorious gothic horror and I don’t think anyone played a callous bastard as good as Peter Cushing does here. Truly glad I got to see on of my favourite Hammer films on the big screen.

Tonight's cinema going is a classic, Hammer's The Curse Of Frankenstein. #HammerHorror #TheCurseOfFrankenstein www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CDF...

It’s October. Only one playlist for this month… open.spotify.com/playlist/6wR...

Just renewed my @dcadundee.bsky.social membership. Already today has peaked. Can only go downhill from here... Or work as it is called!

Now listening to an album I have loved since I first heard it, Marc Cohn’s self titled album. open.spotify.com/album/0Zndfz...

Listening to the haunting and beautiful album Diamond Mine by King Creosote and Jon Hopkins open.spotify.com/album/1Xl61j...

With chances to see The Curse Of Frankenstein, Bride Of Frankenstein and Del Toro’s new version of the story, commencing a reread of Mary Shelley’s classic novel. #Frankenstein

Felt like my profile needed an update for the spooky season…

With everything going on, a suggestion to read THEY by Kay Dick. Scarily accurate in some ways.

Finished Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay. Not bad, not bad at all.

Not doing well today. Brain overthinking

The Long Walk. Probably my favourite film so far this year. That is all. #TheLongWalk

Been looking at the horror films local cinemas will be showing during October. From a 100th anniversary screening of The Phantom Of The Opera,a 90th anniversary screening of Bride Of Frankenstein,to The Fog,Alien,The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Witch & more. Can I get the month off work? #Horror

I once tried to write a short horror story… #Horror #ShortStory thegrumpofhorror.wordpress.com/2022/04/29/s...

Finally. Well worth the wait. #IDunnit #TheMousetrap

About to see 2001: A Space Odyssey in an ‘unrestored’ 70mm print @princecharlescinema.com Simply put, the greatest SciFi film ever made…even if I will never fully understand it!

Off on a two day break. Have left my @dcadundee.bsky.social membership and @cineworld.bsky.social unlimited cards behind as I won’t be needing them. On the one hand my wallet has a little space…on the other I feel guilty leaving them.

Honey Don’t Well, this is a film I just watched. Potential was there for something good but in the end, found it a bit ‘meh’.

Just seen Eddington @dcadundee.bsky.social This one leaves you thinking certainly. I really have no idea what to make of it!

Booked my Dundead Halloween pass @dcadundee.bsky.social Cannot wait to see the 1925 version of The Phantom Of The Opera on Halloween night. #Dundead
