Enjoy this old GIF with added sound. I'm not a fan of shouting, so I had to take a trip to some empty forest to record the scream. Apologies if you were scared by a loud shout in the woods yesterday

I used to work at the Grand Theatre, and believe me we had panto lineups so much better/worse (simultaneously) than this

A youthful obsession that may well, after about 35 years, make me into the artist my young self always wanted to be

You'll miss the BBC when it's gone...

It’s harassment to tell me my opinions are bad

I'm releasing the prose serial I wrote during the 2010s. The publisher collapsed, so it never got its proper release (or editing), but it is a finished project.

Created a new page on my blog to showcase all my old virtual series projects.

Quote with your favourite film and album from the year you were born

man come on

New video! Just in time for Halloween... join us as we explore Highgate Cemetery on what is definitely not a vampire hunt, because they don't like that sort of thing.

Not sure the folks at NBC/Peacock thought this one through

30 days of #halloween 2025 day 16: The Toxic Avenger Part 2 (1989) I know these movies are popular, but they are not for me

30 days of #halloween 2025 day 15: Shocker (1989) Mitch Pileggi as a bad guy is weird to see, but after a more dark and sombre start this goes absolutely batshit in the 2nd half, and I have to wonder if a better film was waiting to be unleashed (esp if the FX director hadn't checked out so early)

Saw an article about an ad company using AI to put users' faces in the ads they're served. Are we cyperpunking yet? When do we get to cyberpunk?

30 days of #halloween 2025 day 14: Pet Sematary (1989) Stephen King novels have a low hit rate of successful movies, and the hammy-acted melodrama of this one does not buck that trend. Unintentionally hilarious in parts though, worth it just for the funeral scene (big I LOVE MY DEAD GAY SON energy)

30 days of #halloween 2025 day 13: Waxwork (1988) Entertainingly bonkers and surprisingly loving homage to classic horror, exactly the kind of madcap whirlwind of ideas late 80s horror was so good at. Also Patrick Macnee gets his head popped off by a werewolf

30 days of #halloween 2025 day 12: Vampire's Kiss (1988) The r/simpsonsshitposting of 80s horror. Or, Possession if it was written by a forlorn yuppie trying to passive aggressively end a failed relationship

30 days of #halloween 2025 day 11: The Lair of the White Worm (1988) I first saw this as a much too young lad, remembered it being a bit mad, but hoo boy it is -so- much loopier than that. When you know Ken Russell basically treats it as a comedy, it gets a lot easier to appreciate

30 days of #halloween 2025 day 10: Return of the Living Dead 2 (1988) SEND MORE COPS

30 days of #halloween day 9: The Hidden (1987) Kyle McLachlan as an FBI agent, pre-Twin Peaks? Claudia "Babylon 5' Christian as a gun-toting stripper? The police station shootout from Terminator? Alien slugs who want to be President? Sign me up

30 days of #halloween day 8: The Gate (1987) Equal parts Poltergeist and Gremlins, and you can sure see the DNA that would go into the Stranger Things melting pot when you watch stuff like this

30 Days of #halloween Day 7: Hello Mary Lou (Prom Night 2) (1987) If this wasn't ripping off its source material so hard (even though it's done with love), then this endearingly batty story would be a lot stronger. Fun but held back from being essential

30 Days of #halloween Day 6: My Best Friend is a Vampire (1987) Hey look, it's that there Wilson off of House! An odd blend of Fright Night and late 80s confused gay romance, there's a weird amount of what would be the 1992 Buffy movie in this, but its heart is in the right place at least

30 Days of #halloween day 5: Trick of Treat (1986) That's more like it - the healing power of heavy metal makes this a fun romp, equal parts Brainscan and Rock & Roll High School. The devil's music, indeed

30 Days of #halloween Day 4: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 Yeah... don't bother

30 Days of #halloween, Day 3: TerrorVision (1986) Silly sci fi-themed comedy horror is absolutely my jam, there's an adorably batty punk rock girl, Jon Grier randomly shows up, no notes, loved it. Suzy 100% survives this as well, headcanon, will not be taking questions on that #30daysofhalloween

One thing everyone on this site can agree on is that instead of listening to the new Taylor Swift album people should listen to real music like Steely Dan

30 Days of #halloween 2025 day 2: Rawhead Rex (1986). Ehhhhh this was pretty bad, sorry. I know Clive Barker wasn't happy either and it clearly has no budget, but it's just kind of a mess

30 Days of Halloween 2025 and we start with a classic: 86's 'Night of the Creeps'. Some Fred Dekker silliness (see also 'Monster Squad') for fans of the funnier stuff like 'Fright Night' and 'Creepshow'

what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.

Oh, that's good. Very good

I need to do this but for my mum's car tapes - equally formative. Duran Duran's 'Arena' and Bryan Adams' 'Reckless' combined to define my entire musical personality

We've passed 4000 magazines in our digital library! Every issue is cataloged and text-searchable, so it's easier than ever to do historical research with game magazines archive.gamehistory.org/folder/9a193... Here's a few recent highlights... 🧵

It's Sunday morning, the time when you can talk about anything you want on Blue Sky dot biz because no one is around. So I thought I'd ask, has anyone had any success with pyramid schemes? I feel like there's never been a better time to pull the wool over the eyes of some hayseeds/greenhorns/rubes.

Next up on our E4 comedy weekend

a comic about fishing (1/7)

If you had one of these filled up with games with their names scribbled on the labels you were the boss of a ten mile radius at least. At LEAST.

Encouragement Of Family, Friends Motivating Man To Keep Struggling Indefinitely

So, Alan Moore's complete Storytelling course is on YouTube now, with the last episode uploaded last week. Here's the first: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4158...

My obsession with this show explains a lot about me

I try to avoid being too political, but at the same time, FATALITY

Very timely blog from @5teviem.bsky.social this week, as I try to start a bullet journal, get overwhelmed and end up spending 40 mins sorting pens out instead steviemartin.substack.com/p/starting-a...

I see the issue. When we said we would replace human workers with machines you assumed the machines would work. That's on you

Just make it exist first. You can make it worse with each new pass while getting increasingly frustrated later.

The older I get the less tolerance I seem to have for sounds beyond my control (people talking in cinema, bad music in gym, cars with loud exhausts, church bells going off when I'm not in the mood) - worried that by the time I'm 50 I'll have to abandon society completely.

My newest short story is now available. I'm diving into fantasy and following Orrin Konrad, soldier-turned-mercenary, as his sister drags him into a job that quickly spirals out of control. a.co/d/6H5h7H3
