Tricksy Tri

You can watch the film we talk about this month here - youtu.be/3RlB9NiNGr4?...

Yes! Some of the jokes were crackers. “You can’t fight City Hall.” “yeah, it’s a building”.

Rewatching four seasons of X-Files so far this year has reinforced my pre-teen belief that I should 100% marry Fox Mulder

Love it!! 👽 👻 🕵️

Thank you! I’m so bored of it now. Three weeks of not feeling any better but still dragging myself to work. On the plus side, I’ve watched nearly four seasons of the X Files. No idea how…!

Look what's coming to THE CELLAR CLUB - Channel Premiere series SUPERNATURAL (1977) beginning Friday 13th February at 9pm! Featuring #RobertHardy #BillieWhitelaw #JeremyBrett #DenholmElliott #GordonJackson and many more! #TPTVsubtitles

Third week of flu but pleased with the films I managed to have the attention span to watch. Don’t judge me for enjoying Tron: Ares (2025). It was just what I needed while feeling sorry for myself under a blanket.

The brilliant Catherine O'Hara (1954-2026) in Beetlejuice. ❤️

Omg I adored Memories Of Murder. So super serious, but so lifted with moments of humour. That ending is so poignant and makes for a fascinating post-movie read too

Far fewer films watched this week as flu has had me laid on the sofa re-watching season 2 of The X-Files, but the weekend’s watches were aces.

Hard recommend for the Adams Family’s latest: Mother Of Flies (2026). Super makes me want to visit the Catskills.

All these years later I still know the words to all the songs 😁

Why don’t they have advent calendars for every month? Not only would you remember what date it is, but you’d also wake up to chocolate every morning.

Dracula AD 1972! The love of my life 🤣 Great haul!

Three vintage paperback books laid side by side on a dark surface. From left to right: “Terror Zones” by Adi-Kent Thomas Jeffrey, featuring a dramatic illustration of a ship caught in an orange, storm-like glow; “The Mystery of Atlantis” by Charles Berlitz, with a blue cover showing a classical temple rising from the sea; and “In Search of Myths and Monsters” by Alan Landsburg, illustrated with an image of a lake creature resembling the Loch Ness monster.

Pre-owned, vintage, weird books are, by far, the best books.

Two out of three even have photo pages!

Highlight of the last four was Billy The Kid Vs Dracula (1966). Make of that what you will 🤷‍♀️

I have virtually no space for physical media, but I’d find somewhere for a gorgeous ickle blu-ray of it, that’s for sure. Maybe even a crappy one 😂

Colour me fascinated!

Looking forward to hearing what you think about The Witches. I am a sucker for Nigel Kneale, but my feelings were mixed and not been able to work out why

Book cover of “Anomaly,” The Collected Issues of the Irregular Newsletter by John Keel. The cover shows a black-and-white illustration of a wooded landscape with two small human figures, accompanied by the text “Flying Saucers or Fairy Rings?”

Book cover of “Our Haunted Planet” by John A. Keel. The design features bold yellow text on a dark green and black background, with the subtitle describing strange phenomena such as UFOs, vanishing children, and mysterious creatures.

Off down the John Keel ultraterrestrial rabbit warren I go!

I Start Counting (1970) was simply stunning. All the best and the worst of people and places of the late-60s/early 70s colliding in an atmosphere I’ve only experienced in Picnic At Hanging Rock (1975).

Utter comfort watches (not The Mummy 3 😂)

One of these things is not like the others 🙃

My Letterboxd Wrapped film-watching summary graphic titled “TehTri’s 2025 in Film.” At the top, three colored circles display statistics: 653 films logged, 4 films reviewed, and 999+ hours watched. Below are two black-and-white portraits labeled “Most Watched Actor: Christopher Lee” and “Most Watched Director: Terence Fisher.”

My Letterboxd Wrapped year-in-review graphic showing two movie posters side by side. On the left, under the heading “First Watch,” is the poster for Picnic at Hanging Rock with the date Jan 1 beneath it. On the right, under “Last Watch,” is the poster for Babylon, showing a dancer lifted by raised hands, with the date Dec 31 beneath it.

Honestly, pretty pleased (appalled? 🤣) with my 2025 and the first and last watched sum up the overall watching vibes perfectly.

Happy-place week rewatching some of the best of my favourite movies.

Lovely colour scheme too, I must say.

#LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

I chuckled 🤭

A massively pleasant surprise courtesy of Dracula (2025). It honoured what came before, brought something new, had a great cast, and had plenty of wit to go with it. I’ve either been living under a rock or it just had no marketing at all. So odd.
