Hammers handsome sole zombie film is now sixty years old.

Whispering Smith Hits London hit my doormat, so I'm enjoying some British Noir this evening. I love the booklets that come with these sets, worth buying for them alone in some cases!

Art c/o "THE DR WHO ANNUAL" (published 1965). #DoctorWho #scifiart

The elderly volunteer at the charity shop tutted as I handed this over with a pound coin. ‘And you looked like such a nice young man..’

On this day in Horror History, THE WICKER MAN was released in 1973.

I’m going in

Doctor Who’s 62nd anniversary tomorrow, and I hear there’s a 24 hour live stream and the TARDIS is materialising at Stonehenge. It was Peter Haining and Silver Nemesis back in my #DoctorWhoDay

Two episodes into the Alternative Adventures, and stories for the second and fourth Dr Who's. Maybe a little Pertwee next? We all like a little Pertwee, don't we? open.spotify.com/show/7gQR998...

With a terrific framing story and glorious disdain for patient welfare it's splendidly psychotic Amicus insanity. The fifth and arguably finest anthology. 1972. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

Just listened to this latest instalment and can confirm you should all enjoy a pint with Mr Ripper! 🍻 The Scarlet Vault is open once more......

The Scarlet Vault has opened once again and released another tale for Halloween! Enjoy a pint of warm bitter in the Cadford Cross tavern. Landlord Mr Ripper will take good care of you… This story first appeared in the General Witchfinders ‘zine #3 Ways to listen: www.buzzsprout.com/2383427/follow

Tod Slaughter boxset here we come

Honoured to have a story in the latest @generalwitch.bsky.social zine, which has just arrived on the doormat. In addition to the stories and articles, there’s some great artwork and photography contained within! ko-fi.com/generalwitch...

Had some nice comments about Best of Enemies. I'm starting to think about what to do next, improving as I go

I've got a story in this that you can't read anywhere else. There are also stories by people like the brilliant @anna-orridge.bsky.social. And it's dead cheap, too – a passion project by Ross, rather than a cash grab. Do grab a copy.

I made a short film with my puppet character! Here he is as General Markosan, facing off against his old enemy, the vampire Baron. I was aiming here to make a Universal Horror for kids. Not sure I succeeded, but I’ve certainly learned a bit about filmmaking today youtu.be/PNHn4TdD000?...

My puppet character now has clothes and a mission to destroy all vampires…

There’s a short story by me in the latest edition of this quality zine, but don’t let that put you off buying it. ‘The Bitter End’ sees you, the reader, investigating missing cadavers over a warm pint with Landlord Mr Ripper. Drink up while you can - it’s very nearly closing time.

I'm very, VERY, pleased to say that I have a story in here - my first-ever published horror piece. Get the zine at the link below. Big thanks to @generalwitch.bsky.social

I am delighted to share that I was interviewed for the latest issue of the General Witchfinders zine! I talk about creating my bite-sized horror game, Barefoot in the Snow. The zine is also chock-full of fantastic writing and art by talented creators. You must pick up a copy for Halloween 🎃

Happy Happy. I have a new short story, 'If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels', in issue 3 of General Witchfinders' zine, out now: tinyurl.com/gwZINE. Lots of fantastic stories, articles and art (just look at that cover 😍).

Ahhh. I am very chuffed to have a story in this, all about the very creepy knot garden of a ruined abbey. An honour to be in such illustrious (and beautifully illustrated) company.

I'm in this with an original story called ‘We Have Always Battled Monsters in This Castle', which is my attempt to say something about the comfortingly formulaic nature of Hammer horror movies. Please buy a copy!

One more case for Victorian ghost hunters Talbot & Masterson available now on the Scarlet Vault Presents podcast feed

This weighty tome should keep me quiet for a while!

Watching too much Gerry Anderson has led to me having a strong desire to make a puppet film, but of course, as a Scarlet Vault production it’d have to be a horror!

I think the word you're looking for is 'square' ;)

New episode out now and it’s a spin-off from Tales from the Scarlet Vault. Go ghost hunting in Victorian Oxford with Talbot & Masterson! open.spotify.com/episode/0rj1...

The next two episodes of Scarlet Vault Presents are going to be a bit different… scarletvaultpresents.blogspot.com/2025/10/rein...
