My #FirstTimeWatch of "Darklands" (1996) was a pleasant surprise. I hadn't heard of it before. I liked the setting, the pagan cult theme, and Craig Fairbrass was great as the protagonist. A fun watch.

Lobby card features a color photo of a woman being terrorized by a slime person.

Lobby card for THE SLIME PEOPLE (1963)

George Zucco positions a skull on a table

A woman in a turban talks on the phone with a giant orientalist god-style incense burner behind her

A young woman sits at the organ with a young man beside her with shadows around them

A girl talks to Lionel Atwill by a door as two women look sinisterly on from the background

Continuing my pre-autumn program of old dark house comfort viewing with FOG ISLAND (1945). Savoring the saturnine suavity of George Zucco and his eyes of infinite menace. Here he hosts a little game of retribution among enemies. Giallo-esque B full of loathsome people who meet justly nasty ends.

Coffee break on the set of ALIEN, 1979

Horror Rises from the Tomb (1973, Carlos Aured)

THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, Thai poster

Remembering with great fondness writer/producer/director Dan Curtis, who was 78 when he died OTD in 2007. We'll be eternally grateful for how he scared the yell outta us...

Hey everyone, I decided to write about what I think is the greatest scene in the entire Friday the 13th series & how it changed everything. I’d appreciate any shares/views if you’re up for it: thehorrorchick.substack.com/p/lets-talk-...

Weekend!!

I used a random word generator and ran the results through Tubis search engine.

The word "cycle" gave me a 1984 biker flick called HELL RIDERS.

The top-billed actor?

Never change, Tubi.

Thirteen Women, Myrna Loy, 1932.

That rare beast. An intelligent 50's scifi with a credible concept, feasible threat and excellent effects. Who knew rocks were so thrilling. 1957.

Actor Douglas Wilmer looks on as a blonde and wide eyed Kirsten Lindholm in white, bares her fangs whilst holding on to his shoulder. A ladder and crew member lighting the castle set with a torch, can be seen behind them.

A vampy Kirsten Lindholm bares fangs for the camera in a BTS shot from The Vampire Lovers, which completed principal photography on this day in 1970 🖤

A promotional still of David Suchet as Agatha Christie's Poirot, with (I think) an anti-aircraft gun peeking over his shoulder.

My favourite episode is the one where Poirot gets a shoulder-mounted cannon.

Sunday.
