  1. "There is evil in the world. There are dark, awful things. Occasionally, we get a glimpse of them. But there are dark corners; horrors almost impossible to imagine... even in our worst nightmares."

  2. I just noticed that I have the sweetest new (to me) comment on one of my Hammer Horror stories with an original twist. I may not be able to cope.

    People who write long reviews are special.

  7. I've finally finished a story and decided to share it here. This was one of my favorite things to ever write. I was rather proud of my writing style and vocabulary in it.

    This one's for @therivercrow.

    Professor Clarence Booth has a rather unexpected visitor one afternoon and the course of his entire life will change because of it.

    (This piece takes place directly after Dracula A.D. 1972 and The Satanic Rites of Dracula from '72 and '73. Keep that in mind. The Author's Note is also very important.)

  8. Speaking of #ChristopherLee and #HammerHorror

    I learnt -- probably from the #Gremlins2 director's commentary -- that Christopher Lee was really surprised by the adoration he received from the Gremlins 2 crew.

    I think by that point Lee was not dong many films, like a forgotten star or something. And he probably hadn't starred in many US films either -- if any at all. I'm sure imdb will have all the answers.

    But Lee didn't realise how admired he was.

    He's also very good in Gremlins 2.

    Probably his best performance really.

  9. Horror Fiction Evolves: Sporror, Body Horror, Escapism and the Commodification of Breast Milk

    I've managed the to exist blissfully unaware there was such a thing as the "commodification of breast milk", let alone that it might feature in a horror movie…

  17. Early evening viewing: The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires. Not one of Hammer's best, a 70s attempt to cross Peter Cushing vamp horror with the then-popular Kung-Fu craze, but silly fun, and not seen it in years, so...

  18. In the early 70s Hammer tried to breathe new life into their gothic horror cycle with some fascinating films that broke free of the rigid Hammer formula. Countess Dracula (1971) is one of their most successful efforts. Ingrid Pitt is terrific.

  19. ...a sympathetic blind resident in Amicus' Tales from the Crypt, the psychiatrist in Hammer's Demons of the Mind (both 1972) and the malevolent professor in Fulci's The Black Cat (1981). Mesmerising as the animal trader in "What Big Eyes", Nigel Kneale's tragic lycantropy riff for Beasts (1976).

  20. Lust for a Vampire (1971). Possibly excepting Dracula AD 1972 this must surely be the most reviled of all Hammer’s movies.

    Its problem is that it's sleazy and trashy but probably needed more sleaze and more trashiness. But it's still good fun.

  21. Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense (1984), the anthology TV series that was Hammer's last gasp. It's much better than its reputation suggests. In fact it's excellent.

    An extremely varied mix of supernatural horror, thriller, spookiness and weirdness.

    The German DVD set includes all thirteen episodes in English.

  22. Dracula Prince of Darkness (1966), first Hammer horror film to suggest that vampirism is all about awakening female sexuality.

    That's not to say the movie is in favour of female sexuality. The fact that it clearly made the director uncomfortable is what makes it such an interesting movie.

    Includes a horrifying staking scene.

  23. Peter Sasdy’s Countess Dracula (1971), based on the infamous real-life Hungarian Countess Erzsébet Báthory, believed to be the most horrific female serial killer in history.

    One of Hammer's most successful attempts to breathe new life into their gothic horror output.

    Ingrid Pitt is suitably gorgeous and evil.

  25. she gently spoofed the seductive, predatory image created in Hammer's #TheVampireLovers (1970) and #Countess Dracula (1971). She was subtly menacing as the registrar in Robin Hardy's #TheWickerMan (1973), joining the May Day sacrifice of Sgt. Howie. You will know her as #IngridPitt.

  27. What am I hoping for here? Discussions about classic movies, horror movies and cult movies obviously. Most cult genres from the 30s to the 80s. And vintage popular fiction genres. Mostly I like stuff that the mainstream regards as trash. So, some hashtags.
