Monday - dawn to dusk

A cold morning's drive into work this morning. But, boy, what a beautiful sunrise! 

Finished work early to catch the early evening showing of the new Nosferatu movie...

And, boy (again), I was glad I'd made the effort to catch it at the cinema. For not only was it a ponderous movie, a visual and story-telling masterpiece that  must surely rank as the finest Dracula adaptation to date, but I also to to see this glowing cloud at the carpark afterwards.

Salem's Lot

I watched the new Salem's Lot film tonightI really enjoyed, the only two faults being it needed a good quarter of an hour to fully develop the story and the vampire was a bit too Marilyn Manson for my tastes. Althought it was never going to beat the 1970s TV miniseries version starring David Soul, it was far better than the 90's remake. 

Halloween Amicus

Sunday, October 01, 2023

Halloween month begins with a matinee of these classics from Amicus...

This was my first opportunity of watching From Beyond the Grave after getting it signed by the one and only David Warner. "Feed Me!"

Halloween Horror

 Continuing my Halloween horror viewing with this classic!

October (Halloween) Films

Time to make a start on the Halloween movies I have lined up for this month. 

 

Torture Garden

Continuing my run of watching portmanteau horror films of late (without a doubt my favourite movie genre), I watched Torture Garden today. It's a lovely little film, with the first story, about a greedy playboy wanting to get his hands on a horde of witch's gold he thinks his uncle has discovered, easily being easily my favourite stand out tale in the collection :) 

Portmanteau Movies #1 and #2

Getting in the mood to continue my very own collection of portmanteau horror tales by watching my favourite portmanteau movies. Starting with these two Amicus gems 😊
