WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVEL. I review Hammer's THE PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES right here... nuts4r2.blogspot.com/2025/12/the-...

And finally: “… being that these specimens, with their white contact lenses and greyed skin, do bear more than a passing resemblance to some of those in Romero’s later ground breaking movie.”

And even: “…prompting him to decapitate her with a shovel in one stroke (trimmed by the English censors at the time in, presumably, lost footage... when he originally took about four shovel strikes).”

And also: “He lives in his old country home which also served as the grounds and headquarters for SPECTRE at the opening of the movie version of FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE…”

And: “… played by the great Jacqueline Pearce, who would of course grow up to be the scourge of the galaxy as Servalan in BLAKE’S 7…”

From my latest review: “… who was, perhaps, my favourite of the TV incarnations of Professor Quatermass in the original, serialised version of QUATERMASS AND THE PIT…”

In this surprise bonus podcast, we look at the new third edition of Opening the Box of Delights - a new expanded edition of the book all about John Masefield's Christmas classic by Dr Philip W. Errington ! www.hypnogoria.com/o... #podcast #Christmas #books #BoxOfDelights

Very honoured to have one of my stories featured in the annual Horror Delve Christmas reading list! horrordelve.com/2025...

This week in the blog - a very interesting start to a new epic fantasy series Firstborn of the Gods by Marvellous Michael Anson www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2025/12...

One from the festive vaults! The legendary 2000 AD released many classic annuals in the 1970s and 1980s, and recently has started doing old-school annuals again! Zarjaz!

MISS TERRY'S ABODE. I review the foil facsimile edion of treasury sized HOUSE OF MYSTERY - DC COLLECTOR'S EDITION C23 right here... nuts4r2.blogspot.com/2025/12/hous...

And finally: “… and are a little bit risqué nowadays but not for the tougher kids of the 1970s…”

And even: “Without giving too much away, the onomatopoeic ending of this is absolutely brilliant and right up my street.”

And also: “… a metatextual story about the artist Gil Kane, who also does the artwork of this piece, which portrays him in a very bad light.”

And: “In the 70s they were the extremely prohibitive price of 50p. Very few people could afford to buy these on anything like a regular basis... and nowadays they’re around £18 so... yeah.”

From my latest review: “… one thing which has delighted me is DC’s latest round of facsimile editions of their past comics, which has included their old large format, card bound treasury editions of the 1970s, the DC LIMITED COLLECTOR’S EDITIONS…”

Note this story is a sequel to an earlier two part tale which can be found here - www.hypnogoria.com/g...

This week on the blog - some really interesting epic fantasy in the form of Firstborn of the Sun by Marvellous Michael Anson www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2025/12...

Then some smart intelligent mixing of body and folk horror in the form of ITCH! By Gemma Amor www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2025/12...

@raskolnik.bsky.social Thanks for the retweet geezah!

RETURN OF THE BLOG. The blog returns with a special post, MY DAD AT THE MOVIES, right here... nuts4r2.blogspot.com/2025/12/my-d...

And even: “… every time Johnny Weismuller comes on in a Tarzan film I will still shout "Ungawa!” like I did with my dad…”

And also: “… he would then, at length, go on to explain that in real life, lifts didn’t have magically appearing trap doors in their roofs so the hero could escape from their threatening predicament.”

And: “… had edited the first one into a two part double bill, sandwiching a Hopalong Cassidy movie in between it.”

From my latest blog post: “… the old Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly musicals, Laurel And Hardy, Tom And Jerry, Abbott and Costello, the James Bond movies, Thunderbirds, Doctor Who…”

Okay... my blog has been inactive for long enough. Thanks to my readers among you for being so patient.

It’s the weekend and I hope we all get some reading time! It’s also time for the latest Wombling Along with a few online reviews and articles that caught my eye this week! www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2025/12...

FUCK OFF WITH YOUR LINKS TO YOUTUBE VIDEOS. SOME OF US STILL LIKE TO READ SHIT.

Watch for a new post this week (Hint: It's about another treacherous expedition). In the meantime, here's another recycled review: cinematiccatharsis.blogspot.com/2021/09/the-... #filmsky

Heute ist der 110. Geburtstag von Leigh Brackett. Vor Jahren habe ich mal einen Blogbeitrag über die "Queen of Space Opera" und ihren Underdog-Helden Eric John Stark geschrieben: katzenklaue.blogspot.com/2017/12/leig...

We trace its beginnings back to the gamebook, 'TWAS - The Krampus Night Before Christmas (2019) and the following roleplaying game 'TWAS - The Roleplaying Game Before Christmas before exploring roleplaying in the winter wonderland of John Masefield's Christmas Classic.

You know the drill.... Some samples from my latest website update here. The rest on the website. corkglamourphotography.com/2025/12/06/i...
