Edgar Allen Poe was born today in 1809 - so I've gone with 1 of my favourite Roger Corman films. Vincent Price plays the tortured soul better than anyone & him in full *mad men* mode - relishing the dropping of the death blade - it's a blast! #NW The Pit & the Pendulum 1961 #horrosky #filmsky

Happy birthday to the Master of Horror John Carpenter! Being a fan I've watched his films countless times so it's taken me ages to choose what to watch! I've gone with these 2 eerie films for my double bill tonight! #NW Prince of Darkness & then #NW In the Mouth of Madness. #horrorsky #filmsky

Rest in Peace, David Lynch (1946-2025)

#NW House on Haunted hill released today in 1959 I love this film because of the fantastic Vincent Price! For me he steals the show as the twisted Frederick Loren - he's so perfectly charming & wonderfully sarcastic! "There will be food & drinks & ghosts!" #horrorsky #Filmsky

#BOTD Ray Milland 1907 (died '86) #NW X: The Man with the X-ray eyes '63 Hell I wish I could time travel & seen this in the cinema in the 60s! Milland is fab as Dr. Xavier & even today his speech at the end is spine chilling!! "If thine eye offends thee....pluck it out!" #horrorsky #filmsky

BOTD Dana Andrews 1909 (died '92) Tonight's choice is a classic B&W film that's just full of atmosphere! Andrews is great as the skeptical John Holden up against the superbly devilish Julian Karswell! It's so perfect for this cold winters night! #NW Curse of the Demon '57 #horrorsky #filmsky

WOW! It's 50 years since Tom Baker first appeared as The Doctor when "Robot" aired! . After watching so many classic Dr Who episodes - I must admit he's become 1 of my favourites - with all that his energy - wide eyes - big grins - wild hair - Jelly Babies & how bloody cool he is! #drwho #tombaker

RIP to actress Olivia Hussey, known to horror fans for her work in BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974), IT (1990), and PSYCHO IV: THE BEGINNING.

Hatchet for the Honeymoon (1970) Mario Bava

#NW The Exorcist released today 1973! What can I say about the 1st horror film EVER to be nominated for an Oscar! People queued to see it, audience members fainted or vomited & it's even been called a *cursed* film! Hell even today it still unnerves & unsettles me! #horrorsky #filmsky

Enjoy it hun and Christ that scared the hell out of us both one of the best nights ever !

#NW The Woman in Black premièred today '89. This tragic gothic ghost story is 1 of my favourites - there's no gore or splatter here! Hell - when me & @abic1974.bsky.social went to see the awesome stage play in London - it was SO unsettling! It's a perfect tale for tonight! #horrorsky #filmsky

#NW The Ash Tree premiered today 1975 It's a tradition in my house at Christmas to watch ghost stories & I've lined up a double bill of this horrifying tale! 1st the TV film & then Robert Powell brings this story to life in a half dramatised retelling = CREEPY AS F***! #ghoststories #horrorsky

BOTD Freddie Francis, 1917 (died 2007) Even winning 2 Oscars & 5 BAFTAs - he's best known for his horror movies! Maybe a couple of his Hammer or Amicus movies are in your favourites! Now I'm gonna watch a couple of his films I always enjoy! #NW The Skull & The Creeping Flesh #horrosky #filmsky

#NW Black Christmas - jeez released 50 years ago today! I love a good Xmas horror & this adds a dash of creepiness at this time of year! Just like a fine wine - each time I watch it I find something else to enjoy! Hang on a mo - I'll just quickly check my attic 1st! #horrorsky #filmsky

#NW Opera released today '87 I'm a huge Argento fan & hell I like this for it's great soundtrack & gory deaths! But what takes it to another level are the scenes where the killer forces Betty's gaze - possibly 1 of the most wince inducing film “weapons” of all time! #giallo #horrorsky #filmsky

Happy Horror Birthday to ME! I vividly remember the 1st double bill of horror I ever saw - showing at my local cinema in the late 80s/early 90's! Me & my friends were underage - but my brother worked at the cinema - & let us sneak in!! #NW My Bloody Valentine & The Funhouse #horrorsky #filmsky

#NW Four flies on Grey Velvet released today 1971! This giallo has grown on me, Argento does creepy dolls so well & hell I love a creepy doll thing! Plus a fab score by Morricone - stunning visuals - great set piece murders - memorable recurring nightmare & a shock ending! #horrorsky #filmsky

#NW The Mummy released today in the US 65 years ago! Such a great story by Jimmy Sangster - good acting - beautiful sets - Christopher Lees lurching, undead monster - Peter Cushing & directed by Terence Fisher - it's a tragic story of love after death! What's NOT to enjoy!?! #horrorsky #filmsky

Here's a bit of useless trivia for you all! When Mel Brooks was invited in 2014 to add his mark to the Hollywood Walk of Fame - he decided to add an extra prosthetic finger to his hand print! He certainly added comedy to everything he did! #filmsky

#NW Young Frankenstein - 50 years since it's release!! Brooks & Wilder wrote such a fab comedy homage to those B&W films! Hell, they even used the original laboratory set from Frankenstein! Still makes me laugh - Wilder & Garrs revolving secret door bit is just priceless! #horrorsky #filmsky

#NW The Haunting of Hill House BOTD Shirley Jackson. I adore Flanagan's unsettling retelling of her novel! I've watched it countless times..in the night..in the dark! "It was a house without kindness, never meant to be lived in, not a fit place for people, or for love, or for hope." #horrorsky

#NW Christine - released today 1983 Director John Carpenter I always enjoy this twisted love story about a boy & his car! This '58 Plymouth Fury is beautiful, blood red & *bad to the bone*! #horrorsky #filmsky

Happy 74th Birthday to 7 time Oscar winner - *Mr Monster maker* himself Rick Baker! I just love this picture of Rick receiving his 1st ever Oscar in '82 - Best Makeup for "An American Werewolf in London" '81 - presented to him by none other than Vincent Price! #horrorsky #filmsky

#NW The Wicker Man released today in 1973. Yes Lee is brilliant as Lord Summerisle - but personally I think it's Woodward who steals the show, he's just superb as the deeply religious Sgt Howie! And that ending - once seen never forgotten - "O god, O Jesus Christ" indeed! #horrorsky #filmsky

It’s Krampusnacht tonight, so I hope you’ve all been good little children this year. Because the list’s been made. #Horror #HorrorSky #Krampus #Krampusnacht

If you see this, post something green...

#NW Krampus released today 2015 It's so cool that director Michael Dougherty, wanted as many practical effects as possible - for the evil toys, elves & especially Krampus himself! Add to that the puppets & stop motion - hey it just makes it a great *creature feature* !! #horrorsky #filmsky

#NW The Haunting 1963 I bloody love this B & W classic! It still sends chills up my spine!! #botd Julie Harris - she plays the troubled Eleanor - falling under the spell of Hill House. A house full of shadows, odd angles & deafening sounds. A house that was *born bad* . #horrorsky #filmsky

To all my American followers & those that celebrate - May your Thanksgiving come together like stitches on a ghoul.

If you see this, post it with a horror film you love

#NW Theatre of Blood 1973 Just wanted something I can *sink* into tonight & I love this film! With *Lionheart* the role Vincent Price was born to play - deliciously hamming it up & the pairing with Diane Rigg - makes it enjoyably gory & fun! Poodle pie anyone??? #horrorsky #filmsky

It's a stormy night here in the UK, I've watched it countless times & it's still my all time favourite film! Hey you can even catch me, pottering about the house - humming the killers nursery rhyme - obviously my hidden murderous tendancies!!! #nowwatching #filmsky Profundo Rosso (Deep Red)

Happy *Doctor Who* day! I love this TV series - the 3rd Doctor & The Master are my favourite era! Pertwee bought such energy to the role!! And Delgardo with his sly expressions- is 1 of the best small screen villains ever! #nowwatching a double bill *The Sea Devils* & *The Daemons*

Happy birthday *Scream Queen* Jamie Lee Curtis! So with popcorn at the ready my choice for a double bill tonight is - 1st up "Terror Train", it always reminds me of a Giallo - with that masked killer wielding a large blade! And then that dark and creepy ghost story "The Fog" #horrorsky #filmsky

Introduce yourself with your top 5 favourite zombie films 1. Dead Snow 2009 2. The Horde 2009 3. Rec 2007 4. Day of the Dead 1985 5. Shock Waves 1977

Today in 1931 "Frankenstein" was released. Karloff was such an unknown actor at the time, he wasn't even invited to the premier!! Even today you can buy anything & everything with the "monster" on it! Just proves this iconic monster is very much well & truly *ALIVE*!! #horrorsky #filmsky

It's a cold & wintry night in the UK & I'm just in the mood for a favourite movie. What's not to love - it's a horror - it's gory - it's got fab werewolves & it's a bloody good British film! "We are now up against live, hostile targets" #nw Dog Soldiers #horrorsky #filmsky

Today in '90 the mini-series "IT" aired on ABC. Love what Tim Curry said about him playing that sinister clown "A clown is a very cozy, comforting kind of cheery image. But *Penny-wise* is none of these. I think of him always as a smile gone bad - that's my image of him" #horrorsky #filmsky

Whoa - "A Nightmare on Elm Street" was released in theatres 40 years ago today in 1984! And even if you've never seen a *Nightmare film* - I'm sure you know who Freddy Krueger is! This striped sweater wearing, knife gloved slasher would make Freddy Kruger /Robert Englund a horror icon!

He will always be that stetson wearing, blood covered, zombie killing sheriff....I'm off to enjoy all 11 seasons of The Walking Dead

Happy birthday Henry Stephens born today 1970 - the original Damien! Settling down to enjoy The Omen '76 - maybe one of the most cursed films ever - from lightning strikes to plane crashes, leaving a trail of eerie events & tragic accidents. Even the baboons & Rottweilers attacked their trainers!

On 12 Nov 1982 “Creepshow” was released in theaters! Directed by George A. Romero & written by Stephen King, making this film his screenwriting debut. As it's a homage to the horror comics of the '50s, Romero hired long-time effects specialist Tom Savini to replicate the comic-like effects.

10 horror films to get to know me (no particular order) Deep Red 1975 Eyes without a face 1960 Alice, sweet Alice 1976 The Woman in Black 1989 Reincarnation 2005 Switchblade Romance 2003 Event Horizon 1997 A Tale of Two Sisters 2003 The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue 1974 Oculus 2013

Fancy something eerie to watch on such a foggy Sunday in the UK. With a lurking monster, an isolated community, strange killings and impending doom plus adapted for TV by none other than Robert Holmes! The Nightmare Man (1981) is my creepy choice #nowwatching

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them #remembrancesunday
