10.10.2025 15:03 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Back on track tonight with The Haunted Palace. For my money, it’s the best Lovecraft adaptation on screen. Being Corman, he does have to shoehorn in Poe by virtue of some lines of poetry. Oh the horror…of the non-sequitur…Also, one of the best title sequences ever #halloween #corman #vincentprice

03.10.2025 06:15 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Controversial choice for day two. Doesn’t get much love, and the intro is an early equivalent to “Somehow, Palpatine returned…”. On the plus side, lots of angry villagers, the Second Doctor and Minder! #halloween #halloweencountdown #hammerhorror
02.10.2025 18:18 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Oh. I better explain. I only do thirty days because Mrs Summerisle always makes sure I’m running about daft for neighbourhood guysers on Halloween. Werewolf this year….
01.10.2025 17:48 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Right. Let’s do this. I thought about starting the 30 days of Horror with “Demons of the Mind”, for the simple reason that I haven’t actually seen it..but decided to plump for the weirdly fay reincarnation story “Blood From The Mummies Tomb”. #hammerfilms #thirtydaysofhorror #halloween

02.09.2025 20:13 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0First game of Pillage. Lessons? Terrain makes the game. This isn’t so much as a combat game as how your warband interacts with its surroundings. Even trying to clamber over crates can be dangerous, as Odo the Breton found out. Protect Berserkers, otherwise they become expensive door stops. Great fun
