Nigel Kneale's superbly creepy slice of 1970s SF-Horror, The Stone Tape, is on Talking Pictures this evening

The original: The Quatermass Experiment on BBC, a live miniseries in 1953 with no permanent record of the bulk of the broadcast. Proving ground of Nigel Kneale, the Rod Serling of the UK.

A favourite film a day for 365 days: Quatermass and the Pit.

It's only the poor (cheap) special effects that bring this down a notch. Otherwise it's a tense and gripping Nigel Kneale story about the evolution of our species, and where all those images of a horned malevolence might really have originated.

"We are the Martians!"

Having lunch with dad, and watching the Hammer #film adaptation of Kneale's superb Quatermass and the Pit.

Watched a fairly stupid cartoon about a yeti with my daughter. Full of farting humor and such. But it made me want to see #Hammer's #AbominableSnowman again. Maybe I'll do that when she is asleep. #ClassicMovies #PeterCushing #NigelKneale #TerenceFisher

Incidentally if any fans of original 1989 TV Woman in Black that terrified a generation want to get a Blu ray copy buy it now while you still can. Released by Network who have gone into liquidation. Copies still available via Amazon and elsewhere but once they sell out that's it. This was a stellar horror TV version, and Blu Ray is fab. It's also available on DVD which will also go out of stock once sold. #TV #80sTV #Horror #SusanHill #WomanInBlack #DVD #BluRay #Network #NetworkDVD #NigelKneale

Beasts is a 6-part 1976 British horror anthology TV series created and written by Nigel Kneale. It mixes horror with scifi but you're never sure if anything genuinely non-natural has occurred. A strange offbeat unsettling but fascinating series.
