#Thefilmcrowd Quite an abrupt ending! But I do love that one 🧛🏻‍♂️

#Thefilmcrowd It’s Eddie Powell! Ooh it’s Lee! It’s Eddie Powell! Ooh it’s Lee!

#Thefilmcrowd ‘The Limitations of Garlic’ - now there’s a TLS bestseller title

#Thefilmcrowd It begs the question, who’d win in a fight - Dracula or Captain Scarlet? Both sort of immortal, both have a penchant for black and red outfits. Admirable foresight on the meta casting!

#Thefilmcrowd What an entrance! No lines, but what presence!

#Thefilmcrowd There is something grimly charnel-house about this bit that does foreshadow Texas Chainsaw etc

#Thefilmcrowd There’s a parallel universe where it’s the characters from sit-com ‘Duty Free’ visit this Castle Dracula

#Thefilmcrowd Is this actually the first good Dracula sequel? Universal never managed a proper one. Did anyone else?

#Thefilmcrowd Noone does fierce righteousness quite like Andrew Keir

#Thefilmcrowd Ah, the recap! Wait for the curtains! Noone pulls curtains like Cushing!

Dear Hilda Am having a good time, my tongue has not stopped.

I was in hysterics in the supermarket this morning. Surely this is not what The Prodigy were singing about!

If we make it illegal to steal paintings from the Louvre then the entire industry will be unsustainable

#TheFilmCrowd beat vamp disintegration ever, still

#TheFilmCrowd when i saw this on the big screen for the first time (Barbican, 90s), this bit got huge laughs. Still gets me!

#TheFilmCrowd finger!

#TheFilmCrowd ‘teddy bear’ is ‘no, not the mind probe’

#TheFilmCrowd always fascinated by the enormous heater thing in the corner of the room

#TheFilmCrowd i want Cushing’s jacket!

#TheFilmCrowd librarian. Good with a stake. Was he the OG Buffy Watcher?

#TheFilmCrowd love how they keep redressing/reusing this room set for most of the castle

@thefilmcrowd.bsky.social it’s singalongatheme time!

"DRAAAC-UUUULAAAAA" Yes it's singalonga-Hammer Film Music as James Bernard's famous theme introduces the best version of the story: Dracula tomorrow from 9pm with #thefilmcrowd! Link 👇

www.reddit.com/r/transgende... Guess what? The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions. Want to know what really happened and how colleagues stood up for her? Read her own account here.

Private Eye hits the nail on the head

Now there's a thought or two...

Hand raised! Still got both original Moviedrome guides, much treasured! I get hours of fun reading them aloud in my best Alex Cox impression voice.

Happy anniversary of the Villa Diodati summer, where the Shelleys, Lord Byron, Claire Clairmont and Polidori gathered in a house on the shores of Lake Geneva and told ghost stories. Celebrate by taking laudanum and hallucinating horrors, or by watching one of the films inspired by the events:

Well, I for one feel 'nausaged' and 'revolfed' #AI

Happy #TowelDay to those who do! Remembering the late, great and much-missed Douglas Adams. My design, executed by Tattooing by Fabio in Cambridge. Stay hoopy!

In the news: In which we learn that our leaders find it easier to believe "AI is the future" than to believe that actual, living human beings who make art for a living have rights and deserve respect. Our consent doesn't matter to them. Only appeasing the tech bros matters.

We're collecting data and stories on what the appalling Supreme Court decision means for trans and gender non conforming people. Lawyers will review all responses - please share your story because if we don't know we can't act. (And please share with friends.) goodlawproject.org/about/trans-...

Spring reading! Delighted to hold an actual copy of ‘The Handbook of Vocal Massage’ by Stephen R King & Robert Price, designed and illustrated by yours truly. Great project to work on - available now from New Voice Publishing! #vocal #massage #medical #illustration #bookdesign

Here's a retro 8-bit inspired video I made for Goddammit Jeremiah (for whom I also play bass). May contain Chihuahuas and mild peril.

You can have a good laugh at my new haircut.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

It's #squirrelappreciationday - appreciate, don't emulate. It doesn't work - youtu.be/9wJgWtFGoPI?...

Yes it’s a set back . A major one . But we cannot give up . Not now , not ever . In the UK I’m campaigning for a ban on fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship , because for too long these companies have had largely unlimited £££ to greenwash their filthy reputations . No more .

When I'm not illustrating and designing, I play bass in a couple of bands. This was Saturday night at Cambridge Junction with @gdjeremiah.bsky.social, The Fiver - great showcase for local bands, and great fun! #Rickenbacker #punk

If someone says they don't believe in witches just ask them for a piece of their hair.

Logo and cover design done recently for the fantastic Vince 'Too Tall' Taylor!

Wonder what I do with my 'other' hat on? I'll be playing bass with the amazing Goddammit Jeremiah at Cambridge Junction on 18 January. I won't be wearing socks on my hands for that bit. #music #punk #gigs
