Frank Baker, author of "The Call of Cornwall", "Stories of the Strange and Sinister", "Talk of the Devil", and much more, died this day 1983. A recent discovery for me, despite his Cornish connexions. #OTD #OnThisDay

Watching Count Dracula with #TheFilmCrowd tonight has decided me, my next occult/horror/weird read will be Dracula, by Bram Stoker. Finished "Spores of Doom" by Aaron Worth just before it started, so will get stuck right in.

Don't forget to switch over to using the new FilmCrowders List 👇, folks. I'll be deleting the old one at the end of the week. #TheFilmCrowd

Excellent news! Always wished Plummer and Mason had done more Holmes and Watson.

#TheFilmCrowd folks; I've made a change to the FilmCrowders List to make it easier and much faster for us to manage it, but it does mean people will need to unpin the old list from their home pages, then click on the new list below in the replies, and pin it again. 🧵1/2

Excellent, thank you., One of my favourite films. #TheFilmCrowd

"In Sixteen Hundred and Eighty Two I wrote these notes, just for you" #TheFilmCrowd

"The door's jambed" "Yes, it's a feature of how they are made" #TheFilmCrowd

Ogilvy really carried those long 70s collars well. #TheFilmCrowd

"An Experiment in Darkness" would be a good title for a horror short story or a film. #TheFilmCrowd

Very posh, using the Wedgwood Jasperware #TheFilmCrowd

"It's time to go again To your blue room Got some questions to ask of you In your blue room" #TheFilmCrowd

They got that cleared up quickly #TheFilmCrowd

Pigs don't sweat. #TheFilmCrowd

Nyree Dawn Porter, she was in The House That Dripped Blood #TheFilmCrowd

A stuffed crocodile was a traditional symbol of alchemists and magicians. There's also one in the cathedral of Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, where Canon Alberic's Scrap-Book was found. #TheFilmCrowd

Got to love a happy ending! #TheFilmCrowd

His hair's going to go in his Dad's beans if he ain't careful. #TheFilmCrowd

The boy is John O'Farrell, the comedy writer. The boy in Tales That Witness Madness was Russell Lewis, who wrote Endeavour. #TheFilmCrowd

Players No 10, haven't seen them in years. #TheFilmCrowd

I like Ian Bannen, one of my top 70s actors. #TheFilmCrowd

We could do a #TheFilmCrowd séance

"Grip my shoulders. Now, thrust forward!" #TheFilmCrowd

Walk abroad? Wouldn't your feet get wet? #TheFilmCrowd

Tommy Godfrey, he was in The Vault of Horror #TheFilmCrowd

Now, for some guys "You have three room-mates" would have meant "Yours" in answer to "Whose home?" #TheFilmCrowd

Go on, feed him blood! #TheFilmCrowd

There's a haunted mirror in Dead of Night too. #TheFilmCrowd

Hello everyone, can you see me? #TheFilmCrowd

Now watching... Halloween IV: The Return of Michael Myers

Watching Francis Durbridge's Melissa on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social . It's exactly the same plot as every other Francis Durbridge. That's not a criticism.

David Pinner, author of "Ritual", the novel which inspired The Wicker Man, born this day 1940 #OTD #OnThisDay #FolkHorror Ritual is well worth reading, but don't expect The Wicker Man!

The Former Free Church in Skerray has gone on the market. It's a little "tin tabernacle" church, constructed by the local Free Church congregation in 1903 after they left their building in Strathy when it became a United Free Church. More on the sale here 👇 www.northern-times.co.uk/news/derelic...

Now watching... Halloween (1978). I don't think I've ever watched it before. Recently bought all 5 original movies on DVD, so thought I should get through them this month.
