Dug this. @realgdt.bsky.social doing Frankenstein makes too much sense, and Jacob Elordi was, dare I say, a revelation. A gruesome, gothic winner.

Perfect way to fill an empty spot on a wall in my studio!

Being a fan of Hammer Films, Christopher Lee and Dracula, I decided to make myself a little something inspired by Dracula A.D. 1972, my favorite film starring Lee as the immortal count. Not quite movie accurate, but close enough.

“I think we should maybe start thinking about battleships by the way” he said at one point in the middle of a riff about tariffs. “I used to watch Victory at Sea. I love Victory at Sea.”

But today’s the 13th, Commander

I have to say I greatly admire the choice of THUNDERBALL at #1. It’s under-rated, tons of fun and Luciana Paluzzi is one of the best characters in the Connery years, I think.

I’m starting a podcast! I mean everyone else has one, so why not. Give me a follow over @fridaynightfrights.bsky.social ...if you dare. #classichorror #horrormovies #hammerhorror #mariobava #christopherlee #petercushing #dracula #frankenstein #halloween #horrorpodcasts

I enjoyed this one most of the trilogy. Although it’s close :)

If six months ago you told me I’d love a Fantastic Four movie (or any Marvel film for that matter) so much that I’d see it twice in four days and be thinking about when I could see it again, I’d say you were delusional. And yet, here we are.

The evil that men do lives after them

I highly recommend bidding.

I find the ending - with those women chanting the title of the movie - quite chilling.

Another great issue of Noir City. Thank you @noirfoundation.bsky.social and especially @eddiemuller.bsky.social for speaking the truth in your editorial. My snap brim fedora is off to you, sir. Donate money to these folks now!

I only just watched this, and was pleasantly surprised. The skull cam is remarkable effective.

“...severed tongue sewn firmly in rotting cheek.” Brilliant!

I’ve always felt this movie was Ralph Bates’ finest hour in Hammer. He and Roy Kinnear really lift this one.

Agree that this might be the series. Freddie Jones kills it..so to speak.

This.

It has some shots that rival Bava, I think.

The Best Anti-Fascist Films of All Time In light of recent events, it might be a good time to remember a very simple truth: Nazis are ALWAYS the bad guys.

“Nazis. I hate these guys."

I think Freda Jackson coaxing the new “bride” out of her grave is the height of horror gothic.

Happy Lunar New Year everybody! #yearofthesnake #happynewyear #indianajones

🤮seems appropriate

It really is the most satisfying overall film version of Dracula...despite Michael Gough 😜

Looking forward to DC! Also, bravo for your most recent column in NoirCity. Scary, but an important read.

Jimmy Carter has passed away. My wife says he was the last decent man in politics.
