Reposting this for the Monday procrastinators! #filmsky #wolfman @theconversation.com

Was very happy that the release of ‘Wolf Man’ this weekend gave me an excuse to write briefly about my cinematic passion: Universal’s disastrous Dark Universe. Thank you to @theconversation.com for having me! theconversation.com/wolf-man-and...

This looks like a cross between Cabin in the Woods and Happy Death Day which is an absolutely top combo in my books. Very nice way of folding in the mechanics of the originally game. youtu.be/2b3vBaINZ7w

A festive Friday the 13th! To celebrate here’s maybe the closest we’ll get to @shannonandswift.bsky.social’s amazing remake sequel idea of Jason at a snowy/frozen camp crystal lake - The excellent fan film ‘Never Hike in the Snow’ by Womp Stomp Films youtu.be/cbl0DmPR9fo?...

Great thread. The article discussed pinged for me too in its bluntness and Caspar is spot on as to why it, and the issues it discusses, are significant to all moviegoers.

Final flag to say my book is just over £10 for today and today only!

Honestly could have gone way worse with that combo of category and actors, so I’ll take it! Vulture Cinematrix No. 249: Nov 30, 2024 I got 8/9 Correct Score: 2168 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩⬜🟩 Play at: vulture.com/vulturecinem...

Thanks to the Edinburgh University Press’ St Andrew’s Day sale, my book is £10 for ONE DAY ONLY. Grab it if you wanna here: edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-hammer-...

Looking at cinema listings/events for Christmas, ‘The Polar Express’ looks to have firmly entered the ‘essential Christmas movie’ canon. I feel like when it came out it wasnt received well. Has it been rehabilitated? What do people think of it? #Filmsky #christmas #christmasmovie

‘Hammer Goes to Hell is a rigorous and enjoyable book that should please anyone with even a passing interest in Hammer or the history of British horror’ - Lovely review from ‘Film and History’ journal. Pre order for the paperback is here: edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-hammer-...

Was quite confident starting this then had a couple of brain blocks. Got there eventually, and a 1% answer to boot! Vulture Cinematrix No. 242: Nov 23, 2024 I got 9/9 Correct Score: 2531 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 Play at: vulture.com/vulturecinem...

There are currently only 22 films streaming on Netflix made before 1980 and not a single one made before 1960, with the oldest film on the platform currently being PSYCHO. I know I’m a broken record but: buy physical media, support your local library, etc etc

And it is superb!

My book on Hammer Films’ unmade projects is out in paperback imminently so I’m bumping the lovely endorsement from Matthew Holness! Can grab a copy of the book here: edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-hammer-... #filmsky

Co-organised a conference for the 40th anniversary of A Nightmare on Elm Street and it was a blast. Exhibits, screenings. special guests and amazing papers throughout the weekend. A lovely weekend!

Welp. Guess I’ll give this place another crack.

Still blows my mind that not only can I pick up an alternate cut of Halloween 6 off my shelf to watch whenever, but that it’s lovely restored in 4K. What a time to be alive.

Exciting to see the endorsements for ‘Hammer Goes to Hell’ come in. So chuffed @mrholness.bsky.social agreed to give it a read. And that he was nice about it too!

The first hint of having to put some money up for twitter and this Northerner has bailed.
