I wrote about #RogerCorman’s weird and creepy title sequences for Fantastic Fifties no. 25, which is out now and looks like a brilliant issue in general. You can read more about titling history and design in my book ‘Film Title Sequences: A Critical Anthology’. Hemlock Books

This is nice, Ronnie Corbett and Blossom Dearie duet -Baby You're My Kind.

Revealing the latest artwork by Graham Humphreys for Short Sharp Shocks: Volume 4 (Flipside 52) 💿

Absolutely the most brilliant thing I’ve seen on the Twitter this year. Thanks for passing it on Josephine Botting!

Bought ECLIPSE (1977) on digital because I didn’t know there was a Blu-ray. 🤦🏻 Now I’ll have to buy the disc, not least for Vic’s audio commentary. Bonus: it’s a Christmas movie – as strange and chilly as one of the great Ghost Stories for Christmas.

Having never had the opportunity to see this brilliant film at the Pictures, I'm looking forward to what will be the LONDON CINEMA PREMIERE of THE APPOINTMENT this Sunday...Team Picturehouse BFI

Yes indeed - this promises to be a splendid show!

PSYCHOMANIA (1973) 1 S&S vote Vic Pratt UK "Some of my best friends are dead" I had a fun time. Biker gangs and the undead. Steeped in folklore, the occult, and British black humor Worth it to see George Sanders act with a frog Thx to Vic Pratt for the recommendation!

Myself, scaryClaire and the living legend Astrid Frank after our Short Sharp Shocks screening last night ! Astrid gave an incredible intro to her film, Red, which is featured on Short Sharp Shocks Vol 4 and deserves to be a classic. What a night !
