just me and the big screen 🧡

The book collection grows. This time with a tiny pre-1900 book on magic tricks, a 1960 signed first edition of Rogue Moon by Algis Budrys, and the out of print 14 by Peter Clines. Rogue Moon and 14 are my favourite sci-fi mystery books of all time and I’ve coveted copies for years. #booksky

Some damn good watches this week. Only bonus to a week of (still) being laid up with food poisoning… No Other Choice (2025) was criminally overlooked for awards season. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

I could talk about how Rituals (1977) was a surprisingly high brow Deliverance-esque proto-slasher, but really I just came here to say that Resident Evil (2002) rules. 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🧟 🔫 #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

All 11 series and both films of the X Files re-consumed since New Year. What do I do with my life now without my beloved Mulder and Scully?

I have no space for books. So I bought another book. This has the absolute coolest f***ing cover so I had to have it. #booksky #horrorsky

Heading into season 10 of The X-Files but also squidged in some moooovies. Angel (1984) weirdly wholesome with its found family storyline? 🤣 Kind Hearts And Coronets (1949) fabulous, engaging, total comfort film. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

The only known footage of Margaret Murray (1863 - 1963), the archaeologist and folklorist who penned The Witch-Cult in Western Europe (1921).

Lifepod (1981) had so many good ideas, so sad it was just boring. Made for a good rabbit warren on the actors’ wider careers however. Luckily I thoroughly enjoyed finishing season 8 of the X Files throughout the week. Agents Doggett and Reyes are great! #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

One week later and I’ve nearly reached season 8 of The X Files, but still made time for films. Somehow. I can see why some (lots?) hated Megalopolis (2024), but I found a lot to enjoy and would recommend braving it. Some excellent one liners. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

Today is Friday the 13th... Tonight something chilling begins... Premiere: SUPERNATURAL (1977) #TPTVsubtitles Tonight at 9pm in #TheCellarClub hosted by #CarolineMunro #TPTVsubtitles

I reached season 6 of the X-Files, so the time came to re-watch the first movie. I remember not enjoying it, despite having seen it multiple times, so binge watching must’ve helped. Also, BlacKkKlansman (2018) *chef’s kiss* #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

This Friday is the 13th... This Friday something chilling begins... SUPERNATURAL (1977) #TPTVsubtitles Friday 13th February, 9pm in #TheCellarClub hosted by #CarolineMunro

You can watch the film we talk about this month here - youtu.be/3RlB9NiNGr4?...

Rewatching four seasons of X-Files so far this year has reinforced my pre-teen belief that I should 100% marry Fox Mulder

Look what's coming to THE CELLAR CLUB - Channel Premiere series SUPERNATURAL (1977) beginning Friday 13th February at 9pm! Featuring #RobertHardy #BillieWhitelaw #JeremyBrett #DenholmElliott #GordonJackson and many more! #TPTVsubtitles

Third week of flu but pleased with the films I managed to have the attention span to watch. Don’t judge me for enjoying Tron: Ares (2025). It was just what I needed while feeling sorry for myself under a blanket. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

Far fewer films watched this week as flu has had me laid on the sofa re-watching season 2 of The X-Files, but the weekend’s watches were aces. Hard recommend for the Adams Family’s latest: Mother Of Flies (2026). Super makes me want to visit the Catskills. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

Why don’t they have advent calendars for every month? Not only would you remember what date it is, but you’d also wake up to chocolate every morning.

Pre-owned, vintage, weird books are, by far, the best books. Two out of three even have photo pages! #booksky

Highlight of the last four was Billy The Kid Vs Dracula (1966). Make of that what you will 🤷‍♀️ #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

Off down the John Keel ultraterrestrial rabbit warren I go! 🛸 👽 👻🧜🧚🎅🏻 🕵️‍♀️ #LightWeekendReading

I Start Counting (1970) was simply stunning. All the best and the worst of people and places of the late-60s/early 70s colliding in an atmosphere I’ve only experienced in Picnic At Hanging Rock (1975). #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

One of these things is not like the others 🙃 #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

Honestly, pretty pleased (appalled? 🤣) with my 2025 and the first and last watched sum up the overall watching vibes perfectly. #LetterboxdWrapped #BigChrisLee

380 horror watches in 2025. Even for me, that is a f**k ton of horror entering my brain. Utter first-time watch highlights: - Picnic At Hanging Rock (1975) - MadS (2024) - Monolith (2022) - Something In The Dirt (2022) - The Humans (2021) - Sinners (2025) - The Vanishing (1988) boxd.it/BYXUG

Happy-place week rewatching some of the best of my favourite movies. Lovely colour scheme too, I must say. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

A massively pleasant surprise courtesy of Dracula (2025). It honoured what came before, brought something new, had a great cast, and had plenty of wit to go with it. I’ve either been living under a rock or it just had no marketing at all. So odd. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

Very Merry Christmas to all you lovely Bluesky peeps. What a wonderful bunch you are 🎄

Coming soon! Premiere Saturday 3rd Jan, 9pm THE HAUNTING OF JULIA (1977) starring #MiaFarrow #KeirDullea #TomConti #JillBennett thriller #TPTVsubtitles

Yearly tradition of ‘Japanese’ Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve. The family have very happy tummies.

Oh yes, I’m in my very happiest of places. youtu.be/5s6NwwCHVdo?...

Last night I achieved(?) 365 horror films this year completely unintentionally. It’s fitting that no. 365 was the high strangeness found footage Horror In The High Desert 4: Majesty (2025). boxd.it/Sw9w

#HammerHorror fans can see the Channel Premiere of COUNTESS DRACULA (1971) starring #IngridPitt #NigelGreen #LesleyAnneDown #SandorEles Part of THE CELLAR CLUB tonight at 10:05pm #TPTVsubtitles

Row (2025) is a very decent, horror-adjacent, mystery thriller. The poster makes it look “shitty horror”. It’s anything but. Hard recommend tbh. An American Haunting (2005) was just characters screeching with a soundtrack of noise… #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

This Christmas "Channel D" will be open on #TalkingPicturesTV with a Channel Premiere Series! Classic Spy-Fiction Series begins Sunday 28th December at 4pm! THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. (1964) #TPTVsubtitles Stars #DavidMcCallum #RobertVaughn

Happy Easter everyone? (I realise in buying this I am part of the problem).

A pretty “mid” week. Not bad, but definitely not great. Highlight was an unexpected love arc featuring Jamie Lee Curtis and David Copperfield (yes, that David Cooperfield) in Terror Train (1980). 🤷‍♀️ #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

AI tech bros promising to allow you to talk to a digital simulacrum of your dead relatives as a false comfort during your natural process of grief are, I’m afraid, in contravention of the 1736 Witchcraft Act, the 1951 Fraudulent Mediums Act, and should be hanged. I don’t make the rules.

As I continue Saw-athon re-watch. I’ve really realised that this franchise is one hell of a commitment to a singular storyline, like it or love it. I promise I didn’t watch out of order, simply forgot to log IV (2007) on the day. Doh! #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

To an entire generation, this Steven Spielberg produced Victorian era adventure may feel like a fever dream. But it’s real and it deserves some love! Written by GREMLINS screenwriter Chris Columbus, we’re celebrating 40 years of YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES.

Four days in and I’ve already been sent to Whamhalla 😩

Podtastic year again. I love you all so much. Shout out to @househammerpod.bsky.social and @generalwitch.bsky.social who get lot of my listening via Patreon. Further shout out to @victoriannightmare.bsky.social which I stumbled across in Summer and is the best bundle of gothy joy. #SpotifyWrapped

I’m still pretty rubbish at French though!

I think I’ve just written a Christmas joke, which is odd, because I hate Christmas. Maybe I didn’t, maybe it’s an old one and I just suppressed it. Why can you contractually never win a game of hide and seek with Father Christmas? Because of the hidden Clause.
