Post a you from a different era

Boo to low blood sugar at 4am. Boo to type 1 diabetes. Boo.

This popped up in my feed this morning. The nightmare fuel of 1980’s ‘amusement park’ Thorpe Park. It doesn’t look like this today!!!

I’m on a pod on Thursday talking about the wonderful ‘Fright Night’, and the joys of Roddy McDowell’s Peter Vincent. Give me some cool Fright Night trivia to talk about, let’s see if yous lot has stuff I don’t yet know…

Any review that claims Fright Night is shit clearly needs to fuck off.

Spideryman is filming in my town at the moment, and I adore people thinking it’s not really happening and is fake because Spooderman here is actually a stunt double doing stunts and not Tom Holland. Next they’ll think actors make up the words.

Boooo to asthma. Zero immune system. Put me down already, make me into glue.

Spooky doogu

Everything is making me very angry tonight, so I’m angrily going to bed in an angry way and I will sleep angrily.

When your 16 year old students haven’t heard of ‘Over the Garden Wall’

My cat got the government warning that Godzilla was on his way.

BTS of a feature I made 25 years ago. Some famous faces, some old cars, some amazing people no longer with us.

The most pleasant coffee I currently have in my house is decaf Amazon own coffee pods. Need more like that and less like the bitter Grind.

The Cat With Two Heads

First week back teaching. In bed on a Friday at 7.30pm. Rock n Roll!!

"I have kindly removed this superfluous cover from your speaker. Who knows why on earth it was there? I think you will find you can hear the sounds coming out of it more clearly now. You are welcome."

Watching Jaws in 4DX this weekend, I was delighted to find a new favourite. Dude left of frame, white tee. Woooop.

Who wants to put a bid in on this amount of Betamax videos on EBay like I do? Actually, I think it’s a Buy It Now 👀

Back at the cinema after last nights Jaws to endure Fantastic Four again with the family. Urgh. Urgh to F4, not the family. Maybe.

Tonight was gonna be a Greasy Strangler night but maybe tomorrow will be instead. cdn.filmmakermagazine.com/uploads/2016...

Waking up to more bot followers. Hey robots 🤖 Wish there were more real people on here.

Tennessee Williams’s Cat on a Hot Plastic Shed.

Trauma training at work and I’m trying really really hard…

My favourite Coens by a mile.

Shoeboy and Tiggles are happy to see after a day at work…

Bluesky seems to be getting all kinds of botty recently. Urgh. #bot

Back to work today and I can safely say it wasn’t worth it.

Just had a lovely email from 2050 Cards saying that they can make a card, just for me, using AI, as long as I give them the prompts and it’ll only cost me £100. Fuck off 2050 Cards. You are doing fuck all for that money. Fuck. Off. Harder.

Recently on Frightseers…

Louis Wain / Bob Godfrey mash ups like this may be the pinnacle of what the internet has allowed art to become. Freed from restrictions, it can blossom. No notes.

First album you ever bought with your own money? Probably this one, on a bootleg tape I bought outside of Boots Chemist in my local town. (Not even the whole of the amazing artwork on the cassette) Still an amazing album.

Doggo and Doggo Friend snoozing on a Saturday

A general reminder. People are idiots.

Love that this little man doesn’t mind the dogs around our house right now. Tig and Brody have mellowed with each other over the years and now B will look out for him. Case in point, we have a friends dog over for the week and B makes sure that Tig is protected. Plus B knows how to use a camera.

I’m sure you all had fantastic dreams last night. I had one about a wonky broken desk.

Today I have got to the point of OD’ing on Coffee. I might need to ban myself for a few days. Everything tastes urgh.

A rift in the fabric of reality somewhere near Chelmsford? It must be Broken Veil. I had a fascinating chat with @gralefrit.bsky.social and @willmac23.bsky.social about their brilliant podcast, written for (and with lots of love for) @forteantimes.bsky.social hauntedgeneration.co.uk/2025/08/12/w...

Having been up since 3am I don’t think I have the mental willpower to finish Darktown Strutters tonight.

Up at stupid o’clock to take eldest to airport, so what am I doing? I’m watching daft exploitation flicks…

It’s a Hit Man type morning, with Bernie Casey and one Pamela Grier. Not quite sure why the box states Chuck Norris and Michael Park?? Remake of ‘Get Carter’, written and directed by George Armitage, years before the ace ‘Grosse Pointe Blank’.

More Conquest of the Planet of the Apes pics by Life photographer Ralph Crane. These are fun.

Black Cat Auditions for Roger Corman’s ‘Tales of Terror’ with Vincent Price in 1961. Peter Lorre looks particularly at ease 🤪 and one woman clearly didn’t get the memo. Ralph Crane photos.

Bloody love these Conquest of the Planet of the Apes bts photos by Ralph Crane.

He clobbers the mob. Next up for me, Black Belt Jones
