If you’re wondering why UK press has suddenly woken up to Farage, please read this. It’s because: Brexit. The r/w press refused to scrutinise the money behind Farage & the lawsuit against me scared off the rest. But this isn’t a new scandal. It’s the same one I’ve been reporting on for a decade

Exciting news! This is on TOMORROW! I was extremely poorly while filming & was puffed up, medicated, sleep deprived. But I still think it’s one of the best things I’ve made! Super proud. Hope you love it P.S. If you watch it live you’re hard core. Otherwise you can iplayer it xxx

1/2 I definitely experienced this film differently to you both! I seem to have missed a lot of the nuance. In fact I think I missed half of the plot- I had no idea what was going on. On top of that I was primed to boredom by the intro, it turns out I’m… @eofftv.bsky.social @bunnydarke.bsky.social

Yes please.

A reminder that this is the guy we're all now supposed to be listening to on the subject of the safety of MPs

I don’t know why this post doesn’t give his name, but it’s Jo Nagai. This is a true story. medium.com/@zehraanjum2...

@eofftv.bsky.social @bunnydarke.bsky.social I wasn’t impressed with this one. I found it quite dull, apart from a couple of interesting scenes, Michael Ripper (who steals the show), and the disintegration of The Mummy (that’s a cool effect).

Just settling in the Hammer’s ‘The Mummy’s Shroud’. So far it’s more ‘British State School Education Video’ than thrilling horror film. Perhaps it will get going in a minute. @bunnydarke.bsky.social @eofftv.bsky.social

@eofftv.bsky.social we’ve just watched Malice (1993)- I think for the first time. I’d describe it as trash, but good trash. The reason I mention it to you is that I felt there was a distinct 60s Hammer psychological thriller influence to it (or maybe I’ve just been watching too much Hammer!).

RIP Sam. 🙏

Most people don’t know that Thatcher established a secret committee during the Miners’ Strike of 1984, purportedly about coal, but whose underlying purpose was to degrade and ultimately destroy the power of organised labour across Britain. She saw collective bargaining as a threat to the free market

@bunnydarke.bsky.social & @eofftv.bsky.social. My wife (@adelejane.bsky.social) have started a 90s ‘psychological thriller’ stint after re-watching Jacob’s Ladder. We’ve also done Primal Fear. If you can be arsed could you post your top 5 (or 10) ‘psychological thriller’ type films from this era. 👍

Just normal people on a normal island.

More Meta wonderfulness. As much as leaving the platform three or more years ago cost me in visibility as a photographer, I’ve no regrets at all. Zuckerberg is a dreadful human being. Meta is a disease. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Just catching up with the latest Hammer Time episode & there are early hints of another schism! I can’t call if I’ll fall Team Becky or Team Kev this week. Suffice to say I didn’t like Frankenstein Created Woman though I thought it had underused potential. @eofftv.bsky.social @bunnydarke.bsky.social

“Nigel, I … am your father.”

Nice to see Newsnight finally growing some balls and asking the tough questions. ‘At Least He Always Gives a Straight Andwer’ Farage must be sad to have missed out.

Thoughts and prayers for Chris Mason at this difficult time.

Chris Nolan's movie The Odyssey is getting RAVE reviews! If you wanna know more about the original poem, but you also want to laugh, then check out our new episode of You're Dead To Me -- with expert Classicist Dr Emily Hauser and comedian Kiell Smith-Bynoe www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

I didn’t know about this Podcast until Farage kindly advertised it to me (thanks Nige). It looks very interesting and I can wait to get stuck in. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/p...

Shudder UK please stop giving us only a quarter of what people in the US are getting. We're paying the same amount. Where the hell is our money going? We don't even get most of the "originals" anymore (which don't show up anywhere else)!

Frankenstein Crated Woman is a weird one! Some great ideas lost behind a convoluted plot, a disappointingly mild Baron, & an unforgivable ‘fragile woman, now your scars have gone & you have a man’s brain you can finally do something interesting’ narrative. @bunnydarke.bsky.social @eofftv.bsky.social

@eofftv.bsky.social I’ve just seen your Letterboxd rating for disclosure day, and I’m delighted that you liked it too.

Mark Pritchard MP says no one from Shropshire Council came to his Stoke Heath meeting. He forgot to mention he barred Green Party Shropshire councillors from attending, despite the 1st invitation saying Shropshire Council members could attend. We pointed this out in the comments. It was deleted. 🙄

Last week the BBC mentioned in local news that Ryan Bridge and Ben Cullen of Raise the Colours had been banned from putting up flags in Oxfordshire after a sustained documented campaign of intimidation This week Ben Cullen is on trial for making over 70 indecent images of children BBC: *crickets*

Hi! I’m doing a FREE family event in #Chester Town Hall on Saturday at noon — I’ll be talking about Roman Britain and signing books, so please do come along if you’re nearby! festivalofideas.chester.ac.uk/event/chaos-...

It’s funny, I hope that one day McSweeny recognises the damage he had done!

The first real schism of Hammer Time and I’ve ended up firmly in Team Becky! Sorry Kev, it’s a 4 star for me (despite the reservations described in previous posts). @bunnydarke.bsky.social @eofftv.bsky.social

1/2 Final thought on The Witches: I think it's an excellent film, and it's wonderful to have a heroine who does not need to be saved by a posh bloke who can light fires! I did think it was doing pretty well on the representation of West African folklore... @eofftv.bsky.social @bunnydarke.bsky.social

The Witches- there be pagans about, me thinks! European folk traditions are as complex & fascinating as West African, though I suppose less care needs to be taken when Europeans exploit European traditions than when they exploit those from other cultures. @eofftv.bsky.social @bunnydarke.bsky.social

Voodoo is a wonderful religion, I am hoping The Witches treats it kindly. My Mom brought me some genuine ritual items back from a recent visit to Benin (very much exchanged with consent - the guy who made them even sent me a video of how to use them!). 🇧🇯 @eofftv.bsky.social @bunnydarke.bsky.social

Wait for me guys, I’ll be there in an hour and a half or so! @eofftv.bsky.social @bunnydarke.bsky.social

Nigel Farage; “Nobody Cares!”

Shits going down in Milton Keynes!😂

I’m absolutely loving this book! It masterfully reawakens Stoker’s world in a way that feels urgently relevant while remaining authentic and true to the period and Stoker’s vision. Gripping and beautifully written.

Show me some love people!! New website full of free stuff, and a chance to win a free miniature painting. Don’t say I don’t treat you well 😜 janinaramirez.co.uk

I can’t help wondering if Becky is going to absolutely love at least one of the upcoming Hammer Horror films that Kev really, really dislikes, whichever they are (I’m secretly hoping so). I’m almost looking forward to these films as much as the classics! @bunnydarke.bsky.social @eofftv.bsky.social

The Old Dark House was a change of pace. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t like it much either. It’s like a cross between a cheesy 60s sitcom & school stage performance. Weird. (I’ve not seen any other version of The Old Dark House & know nothing about it). @bunnydarke.bsky.social @eofftv.bsky.social

The right wing media do its best to portray me as something that I'm not, much of which has racist undertones. The Daily mail have now apologised to me. More apologies to come...

An @evolutionofhorror.bsky.social Beatles podcast would be perfection. Delighted to hear that @mikemuncer.bsky.social , @bunnydarke.bsky.social, and @eofftv.bsky.social are all Beatles super fans too! You might enjoy this essay I wrote a few years back: www.horrifiedmagazine.co.uk/other/the-ho...

Just getting into the discussion now only to find @bunnydarke.bsky.social & @eofftv.bsky.social discussing the image and make-up of The Reptile straight away! Pleased I’ve got my finger on the pulse! Interestingly, I’d never heard of The Reptile or seen the images until listening to Hammer Time.

I had low expectations for this, but ended up really liking it. I thought pictures of the monster looked naff- I was very wrong. The make up is great, and its first appearance genuinely scared me. Gripping story, great script, lots of Micheal Ripper!! @eofftv.bsky.social @bunnydarke.bsky.social

Join us! 📚

This week on HAMMER TIME, Kev and Becky are up against another of Hammer's iconic female monsters, as they shed their skins and smash their sitars for a chat about THE REPTILE from 1966. Out now!

@eofftv.bsky.social I might be seeing things that are not there, but I’m sure I recognise the graveyard and the pub sets in The Reptile from previous films. Do you know if they were reused for this?

Daily Mail posts lies about the Greens that are spread far and wide. I wish half the number of people saw their apologies. Solidarity with Kamel.

Remember when Zack Polanski did a retweet and got a letter for the Head of the police…. Farage, Robinson, Musk and Lowe have been all over X inciting violence, slagging off his police force, with “two teir” bollocks, people being burned out of their homes because of disinformation and nothing?!
