I was a little disappointed, I wasn't expecting the polished #Hitchcock that we would see in later years, but this didn't hit the spot for me. #HitchcockFilm

Just had the best chat with my supermarket delivery driver! ​They spotted the horror movie posters in the hall and decided to test my knowledge. They were genuinely shocked at how much I knew about the genre! ​Yes, we female horror fans exist, and we know our slashers from our supernatural!

This high concept battle of the wills doesn't quite ring true. I, unfortunately, about halfway I lost interest in the outcome. And I was disappointed when we got there. However, Anthony Hopkins' give his role some gravtis by his voice alone. And Bill Skarsgard gives his character some real depth.

There is nothing new here, ghost hunters at a creepy asylum is clichéd at this point. The acting is terrible and the dialogue is hilarious. Apart from one moment, there is no real blood or gore. #HorrorMovies #LowBudgetHorror #FoundFootage #FoundFootageHorror #SupernaturalHorror

Book 36 - #NormaJean: A Hollywood Love Story by Ted Jordan. I am unsure how this book came into my collection, but I did not enjoy it at all. #BookLover #BookSky #MarilynMonroe

Say what you want about the effects, but Tim Curry’s Pennywise still sends a chill down an entire generation's spine. But how does it stack up against modern hits like The Outsider or classics like Salem's Lot? ​Where did your favorite adaptation land? #StephenKing www.tvline.com/2023491/step...

Book 35 - #HeavyMetalMovies by Mike "McBeardo" McPadden. I love this book. McPadden is a great wordsmith and a font of knowledge. The book is well-written from an unique standpoint and is an exceptionally entertaining read. #HeavyMetal #CultFilms #RetroHorror

The #PublicDomainHorror trend continues, and this time, it's #BettyBoop! A team of podcasters hunts for a flapper-era star haunting an abandoned theater, but finds a blood-soaked revenge tale instead. #HorrorMovies #NewHorror #ClassicCartoon #BOOP #Cinephile www.cinemablend.com/movies/betty...

Weeks ago I was seriously ill. When I finally opened my laptop to write again, I found this short story I have absolutely no memory of producing. ​ :https://open.substack.com/pub/beverleyshorrorcorner/p/the-living-room?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=1knifo

🐮💚 Happy Feral Flame release day! 🐺🔥 Book 4 of 6 of the #NossSaga ✅ ... Two more to go. Help me spread the word, and good luck getting that mask! #BookSky 🌈📚 #QueerBookSky

That feeling when Edgar Wright says Stephen King’s The Running Man novel, set in 2025, is a "chilling prediction" of where society is today. Wright's approach is a new, faithful adaptation focused on the everyman hero and the terrifying social commentary. ​ gizmodo.com/edgar-wright...

It is watchable but mediocre. There is too much talking and not enough action, and needs about 30mins trimmed from it. For the length it was it needed more to the story. Although, Alex Breaux is amazing as "The Monster". #HorrorMovies #FrankensteinFilm #BodyHorror #Frankenstein #ModernFrankenstein

It's been a while since I have seen a film this bad. If your film is going to be a one man show, you need a stronger actor than we got here. The story makes no sense, and it is shot terribly with odd camera angles. Horrible fight scenes and unfunny comedic moments top this shit sundae.

This film was great, just a shame it did not have much of a plot. The lead actor were brilliant in thier roles but it is a very serious talkie film. The film is not frightening and the cinematography is mundane, although there is one visuals stunning scene. The twist is fairly obvious.

Most of the film is boring, and then goes from 0 to 100. The problem is the family is very irritating. #HorrorMovies #HorrorComedy #SlasherHorror #FilmLover #FilmCommunity #HorrorFan #FolkHorror #KillerHoliday #RuralHorror

I am way too old for this film, it is not scary and for some reason, they made the main character so unlikeable. The special effects range from decent to dire. #HorrorMovies #ZombieFilm #ZombieFan #TeenHorror

​Still running on fumes and struggling a bit after the recent spate of night shifts, but I had a truly superb and powerful emotional #SamhainRitual. #Samhain ​#witchcraft #Pagan #NightShiftStruggle #NewBeginning #HealingJourney #GriefAndGrowth #MovingOn #BreakupHealing #Heartbreak #PostNightShift

This is about 30 minutes of plot and about an hour of filler. #HorrorMovies

#BlessedSamhain, everyone. Summer is gone, and winter is coming. We have planted and watched it grow into a harvest. #Samhain

This film isn't great but it is not terrible either. Like all films about our reliance on AI and deep fake problems, there are some thought provoking elements. More thriller than a horror, but there is something that doesn't sit right with me, maybe it because it is fairy predictable.

Your 2025 Halloween Marathon is officially booked! ​Tom's Guide dropped the 5 must-see new horror movies for the season, including the follow-ups from the directors of Barbarian (Zach Cregger's Weapons) and Talk to Me (the Philippou brothers' Bring Her Back). www.tomsguide.com/entertainmen...

What a perfect horror concept: Monsters that only children can see. ​#Blumhouse is adapting the #SomethingIsKillingTheChildren comic into a movie AND a TV series! The fear of unseen threats and adults dismissing a child's terror taps into something primal. #HorrorComics www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/bl...

#OsgoodPerkins and #TatianaMaslany are delivering a new cinematic monster: Relationship Horror! ​The exclusive look at KEEPER reveals it's about a couple's getaway to a remote cabin and what happens when the relationship itself becomes the scary thing. #KeeperFilm ew.com/keeper-tatia...

Day 10 of the #31dayhorrorchallenge - Masters of Horror. Yes, the effects are incredibly dated, although the energy devil is still great, but this is a complex and intelligent film. The dialogue is realistic and simple and the sound of the mental telekinesis is spine-tingling.

What a beautiful evening! ​Just took a perfect little break from several hours of work on my non-fiction book to step into the garden. Nothing beats standing out in the moonshine with a steaming bowl of homemade chickpea curry and just soaking up the quiet of nature. #WritingLife #AuthorLife

Day 9 of #31dayhorrorchallenge- David Lynch. I love this odd film with its emphasis on emotion. Although, the soundtrack was fine, the dialogue is a little corny, and the humour doesn't quite work. Apparently, some scenes were shot on a Fisher-Price video camera, so the picture quality varies.

Day 8 of #31dayhorrorchallenge- Don't answer the phone. This had an interesting premise full of suspense, shocks, and eerie scenes. That cutesy ringtone becomes creepy quickly. The film has some great acting, the cinematography is beautiful but the ending was too twisty for my liking. #HorrorMovies

Day 7 of #31dayhorrorchallenge- High Society Horror. The set, costumes and cinematography are incredible. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter do a good job both acting and singing. But there is something that keeps me truly connecting with the film. #HorrorMovies

Book 34 - #NewFears edited by Mark Morris. A really mixed bag of stories that are not connected by theme, but Stephen Gallagher's Shepherds Business is head and shoulders above the rest with such an unexpected twist ending. #HorrorBooks

Day 6 of #31dayhorrorchallenge - Sequels I haven't seen. It is not a good sequel, the acting is mediocre and the dialogue is horrendous. #HorrorMovies #MichaelMyers

It's officially the time of year when I need a financial intervention. Every store is calling my name with cosy blankets, spooky mugs, cute little gourds, and candles that smell exactly like falling leaves and regret. My wallet is screaming "no," but the aesthetic is saying "yes".

After a whole debacle with my TV, I am finally back on #31dayhorrorchallenge Day 5 - Paranormal Investigation. While I enjoyed this film, the acting is its strength, it is rather unoriginal, mediocre and predictable. #HorrorMovies

My latest podcast discussing Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell. A film is required viewing! It's the ultimate chaotic, low-budget tribute to Raimi. Goofy dialogue, relentless gore, and pure heart. It's the only #TheJapaneseEvilDead ​#BloodyMuscleBodyBuilderInHell #HorrorComedy

After 16 days off, the vacation clock has officially struck midnight. ​Back to the grind today! This time away was less a break and more a high-G rollercoaster ride, but amidst the chaos, I found a surprising little light at the end of the tunnel. Wish me luck adjusting to the real world again!

Unfortunately, I was giving a talk about paganism in Asian horror films so I missed the ##HorrorWritersChat but hi, I am Bev and I am a non-fiction horror film writer.

Officially starting to get a little sick and tired of the sound of my own thoughts. And I don't have any plants to talk to or a cat to judge me. ​THANKFULLY, I get to escape tonight! I am giving a talk on Paganism in Asian Horror Films. Time to trade the solitude for some spicy cinematic discussion!

Book 33 - #BeyondTheVeil edited by Mark Morris. A collection of mostly fine short stories but The God Bag by Christopher Golden and The Dark Bit by Toby Litt are standouts. #NewHorrorShortStories #HorrorAnthology

My body decided that combining two glasses of gin, rich food, and flickering TV was grounds for immediate eviction. ​At least the film choices were good! We watched For Your Height Only and the glorious Phantom of the Paradise. A cinematic win, a stomach loss. #BadNightGoodFilms #CultFilmCrew

Sorry, I've been a little quiet lately. Dealing with my heartache has kept me unnaturally busy, but the cure for that is clearly bad cinema. Tonight, I've got a seriously terrible film night planned. Wish me luck (and strong comedic relief)! #HeartacheHealing

#31dayhorrorchallenge - Day 4 - Scarecrow or cornfield. The acting was weak, the script was silly but the cinematography and the soundtrack were nice. #HorrorMovies

#31dayhorrorchallenge - Day 3 - Airbnb of horror. This film had some decent special effects. Judd Nelson's performance was great, everything else was average. #HorrorMovies

#31dayhorrorchallenge - Day 2 - Set in a School. This was strange, stupid, cheesy, hilarious, and charming. The acting is decent, the dialogue is corny but the cast is awesome. #HorrorMovies #BlackComedy #TeenHorror #BMovie #ZombieHorror #ZombieFilm #CultClassic #Satire #TeenMovie #90sHorror

#31dayhorrorchallenge Day 1: My First Horror Film. Yes, I know I am already behind but here we go. This is derivative but entertaining. I was engrossed throughout the film. It is silly and the special effects are pathetic but I still enjoyed it. #HorrorMovies

Weirdly, I often talk about modern teen horror films as if they are clearly not aimed at me, as if I had never been a teen myself. #HorrorWritersChat

This film wins the award for the worst soundtrack ever. It has its moments but the film has too many loose ends at its conclusion. #HorrorMovies

The Mammoth Book of #BestNewHorror 23 Edited by Stephen Jones. Another great collection of macabre stories. A personal favourite was The Music of Bengt Karlsson, Murderer by John Ajvide Lindqvist. A wonderful delve into grief and despair. #Horror #ScaryStories #HorrorFiction

My Sunday lunch plans were a masterclass in controlled chaos: ​Headed to Tower Street Food Hall only to discover it had been totally taken over by a children's party.​ Pivoted to Prezzo for a quiet Italian meal only for the smoke alarm to start going off repeatedly. #SundayVibes

My little sketch. A pop of colour and a whole lot of charm! Obsessed with these blue, pink, and green bats circling a heart of skulls. It's giving me all the good (and slightly ghoulish) feelings. What do you see in it? #ArtisticVibes #Sketchbook #ColourPalette #UniqueArt #SpookyArt

If you like films of people running around in darkness, this film is for you. The monster is barely visible, the film is full of clichés but the cast is decent. #HorrorMovies #CreatureFeature #MonsterMovie #MonsterHorror #BMOVIE #ModernHorror #CaveHorror #subterranean #ActionHorror

A mediocre film has its moments, especially the scene where Elizabeth is searching for the room in a painting. But as it is a TV movie there is no gore or anything "offensive". The idea was good, it was entertaining, although the mystery element was a little weak and the ending is anticlimactic
