Celluloid Screams Horror Film Festival

Who’s excited for Saturday?! Our final screening of 2025, BLACK CHRISTMAS at Showroom Cinema - don’t hang around, grab your tickets now! showroomcinema.org.uk/film/cellulo...

It’s gonna be tough to beat Alexander Ullom’s IT ENDS as the film of @celluloidscreams.bsky.social for me - an insanely confident, self-assured, moving, hilarious, scary existential crisis. That it was made by such a young group of talented people is truly proof that the kids are gonna be alright.

Day 3 of @celluloidscreams.bsky.social, and possibly the one with the most new films I'm looking forward to. MAN FINDS TAPE! HEAD LIKE A HOLE! IT ENDS! And of course the DEATHSTALKER remake!

Another great day at @celluloidscreams.bsky.social. One film I really didn't like, but SILVER SCREAMERS, THE OCCUPANT OF THE ROOM and WE BURY THE DEAD were all great, and MARTYRS was so horrible it made someone do a sick.

Shout out to the shorts as well, especially THE LENNOX-FRIEDKIN TAPE #004, which was disturbing as fuck, and brilliantly put together for a student film.

Man Finds Tape (2025) - Projected Figures In Peter Hall and Paul Gandersman’s found footage, a community’s unwitting complicity and cover-up lets something Lovecraftian in to feed

"a community’s unwitting complicity and cover-up lets something Lovecraftian in to feed": Peter Hall amd Paul Gandersman's found footage MAN FINDS TAPE (2025) screens 11am today at @celluloidscreams.bsky.social projectedfigures.com/2025/06/09/m...

Head Like a Hole (2024) - Projected Figures Stefan MacDonald-Labelle's monochrome marvel HEAD LIKE A HOLE invites the viewer to join its needy protagonist in staring into the abyss

"invites the viewer to join its needy protagonist in staring into the abyss and conjuring the monster within": @stefanmacdonald.bsky.social’s monochrome marvel HEAD LIKE A HOLE (2024) has its UK première 3pm today at @celluloidscreams.bsky.social projectedfigures.com/2025/04/03/h...

Deathstalker (2025) - Projected Figures Steven Kostanski's DEATHSTALKER reimagining is a funnier, freakier, altogether more fantastic love letter to the video age

"a funnier, freakier, altogether more fantastic love letter to the video age": Steven Kostanski’s swords-n-sorcery spectacular DEATHSTALKER (2025) is a hilarious, head-lopping lesson in the art of the remake. UK première 7.45pm at @celluloidscreams.bsky.social projectedfigures.com/2025/09/21/d...

So amazing to see the festival poster for my film blown up and displayed at @celluloidscreams.bsky.social !!!

Happy MARTYRS day at @celluloidscreams.bsky.social!

With this and seeing IT FOLLOWS on the big screen for the first time the other night, I am doing well for seeing my favourite films at the pictures this week.
