Visiting one of the great props of all times!! The original… Can you name it?

If you’ve never been to @dirtinthegate.bsky.social’s Grindfest, you owe it to yourself to remedy that error.

What an amazing last day at @dirtinthegate.bsky.social’s Grindfest. Pity we had to miss T2 on 35mm to get the train home…

What a day. We need sleep. @dirtinthegate.bsky.social #Grindfest

Day 1 of @dirtinthegate.bsky.social’s #Grindfest - 35mm screenings of Dreamscape, The Howling (plus @thejoedante.bsky.social intro) and Xtro! Plus the beers are great!

What a day. We need sleep. @dirtinthegate.bsky.social #Grindfest

Only @dirtinthegate.bsky.social would programme IT’S ALIVE III: ISLAND OF THE ALIVE - on the only 35mm print in the world - as a mystery movie and God bless them for it. #Grindfest

Brainscan on 35mm is a delight to behold. @dirtinthegate.bsky.social

We love a hybrid of genres so it was great to see western horror Dead Birds on the big screen for the first time at @dirtinthegate.bsky.social’s Grindfest.

Nothing like seeing The Quiet Earth on the big screen. And in 35mm. #Grindfest @dirtinthegate.bsky.social

Day 1 of @dirtinthegate.bsky.social’s #Grindfest - 35mm screenings of Dreamscape, The Howling (plus @thejoedante.bsky.social intro) and Xtro! Plus the beers are great!

We have arrived! @dirtinthegate.bsky.social

What a fun Ozploitation lineup, featuring more than enough deep cuts to satisfy the sickest among us. FAIR GAME! THIRST! BODY MELT! NEXT OF KIN!

Breaking News: Forbidden Worlds continues to bring the goods

Forbidden Worlds Film Festival returns with The Big Scream (24-25 Oct at Bristol Megascreen) to celebrate cult horror, with two nights of grindhouse and exploitation movies from Australia. Get ready for SIX FEET DOWN UNDER! www.forbiddenworldsfilmfestival.co.uk

It returns.

Be careful what you wish for... #Horror #FilmSky

Watch the trailer for ANACONDA starring Paul Rudd & Jack Black, in theaters on Christmas Day.

We’ve just discovered that from 1951-67, there was a US fantasy comic series called Forbidden Worlds! You might have assumed that the festival was named in homage to this series, but that wasn’t the case - it’s purely coincidental. Hopefully they don’t come for us for copyright infringement…

If you need us this weekend, we'll be here.

One of the most curious horror movies still left in the remainder of 2025 is the Paul Rudd and Jack Black-starring ANACONDA, a meta reboot of the 1997 monster movie releasing on Christmas Day. First look images have arrived:

One of the best to do it. And one of the sexiest.

Be careful what you wish for... #Horror #FilmSky

Retro movies are hitting big at the box office. Why cinephiles and theaters are going back in time

It's Monday!

Be careful what you wish for... #Horror #FilmSky

We feel we don’t say it enough… but we fucking love @thejoedante.bsky.social
