Happy Brian Harvey Day if you’re celebrating.

Tonight's Escher-esque brain twister is Exit 8 (2025). A Japanese film based on a video game that has a man caught in a looped subway. Unlike most game to film adaptations this one is meant to be worth a watch...

Sugar Sugar by The Archies

Time to finally hear the new Boards of Canada album, their first in 13 years! Things may get woozy...

I ranked movie corridors! (and didn't once write the word "liminal") This was a lot of fun.

Anyway, time for more A Very Peculiar Practice on BBC Four.

Well, Obsession was a head fuck.

Happy World Dracula Day!

Crumbs. Patrick Hamilton’s play ‘Rope’ first hit the West End AND Broadway in 1929, two decades before Hitchcock’s movie adaption! The BBC had also staged it twice, in 1939 and 1947 (starring Dirk Bogarde), before the movie appeared. This movie tie-in is a novelisation, but with a handy floorplan!

On this World Dracula Day, let us remember Jeremy Brett and Raúl Juliá in their stage Count costumes, with Edward Gorey-designed scenery

Doesn’t look anything like Daphne off Neighbours either.

'Oh, Whistle, and I'll Tailor for You, My Lad'

ICYMI: Very welcome news especially given this anthology's legendary reputation and how many are missing from the BBC archive www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9rf...

Thank you very much to everyone who came to see me, @tobyhadoke.bsky.social, @andrewscreenbskys.bsky.social and @mrgeetsromo.bsky.social discuss Nigel Kneale at @anthonyburgess.bsky.social on a humid Saturday morning for @headpress.com’s 35th anniversary celebration yesterday - what a joy! 🚀

Another remarkable missing episode 'holy grail' discovery from Film is Fabulous! The very first episode of Late Night Horror.

Thank you so much to everyone who came to celebrate our 35th anniversary with us yesterday! We had a great day and it was lovely to see familiar and new faces there to celebrate the continued vibrancy of #indiepublishing 🎊

Tomorrow!

RIP the great Micheal Keating. The heart and soul of Blake's 7, he played cowardly con-man Vila Restal (my favourite character) with a beautifully world-weary charm, and perfect comic timing. He and Paul Darrow's Avon made one of the all-time great double acts.

I'm rewatching 'The Changes' for the first time in over a decade. Last time, I didn't spot the pragmatic use of model shots from 'Quatermass and the Pit' to show the seismic upheaval that's underway.

***RELEASE DETAILS*** Coming on July 20th on #4K and Blu-ray in the UK from @hammerfilms.bsky.social as part of their #HammerPresents line: #MurdersInTheRueMorgue (1971)! Loosely based on a story by Edgar Allan Poe, this meta murder mystery stars Jason Robards and Herbert Lom,

Looking forward to this next weekend. I will be on the Nigel Kneale panel and signing books throughout the day. A full day of horror, cult TV and music. Hope to see some of you there.

Support #indiepublishing, #horror, music writers, and connoisseurs of cult TV all at once! Next Saturday in #Manchester 👇👇

RIP Alan Rothwell, the laid back, soothing face and voice behind countless soap operas, drama roles, and Scarred For Life favourites Picture Box and Hickory House (and his role as heroin addict Nicholas Black in Brookside was an all-timer)

As it's Eric's 100th birthday today here's a Mr. Morecambe related post from a few weeks ago.

Tinkered with this for far too long last night adding tickers and stuff. I think it’s finished now. Will only update as more Reform councillors leave. refukked.lovable.app

Design legend Margaret Calvert is 90 today. Look at that cake! If you've ever admired a road, rail or metro sign in Britain it's likely she had something to do with it. One of Britain's design heroes - happy birthday to her. Photo by: @oshgallerylondon (IG) Cake by: mybaker.co

Huge news! I'm co-producing Alexandre O Philippe's new doc IN SEARCH OF NOSFERATU. Our team (including @pattonoswalt.bsky.social) is scouring the world for uniquely aged prints of Murnau's classic. 🚨 CAN YOU HELP? 🚨 Any leads on old prints, VHS, etc, please hit me up! Our treasure hunt is global!

Fine. I'm being the change I want to see in the world. If Sky clip it officially I'll delete this www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NlK... #SNLUK

Love this pic of Gary Snyder hiking in North America, September 1965. Happy birthday Gary, 96 today.

Tonight's film is a revisit to De Palma's Blow Out (1981). Loved by critics but a box office dud on release it now has cult status. In my opinion it's one of De Palma's most satisfying and interesting films.

As it’s the anniversary of Miller’s Whistle, have a read of this:

I've written a brand new Adrian Chills story (short horror stories inspired by the Guardian columns of Adrian Chiles.) This is #64 and it's called 'Regret'. (It's a bit of a thing)

Commemorating that time Whispering Bob Harris was chased around the Norfolk coast by a ghostly force, "The Old Grey Whistle and I'll come for you Test" is available now. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1805...
