Opening the in person Soho Horror Fest 2025, with our most star studded film yet, we are delighted to be hosting the UK Premiere of Luc Besson’s DRACULA. An inimitable reimagining of the Bram Stoker classic that embraces the gothic in all its majesty, grandeur and romanticism.

SPIRIT OF INDEPENDENCE 2025: THE FOG (45TH ANNIVERSARY)

Having knocked it out of the park twice in a row with 1976’s Assault On Precinct 13 and 1978’s Halloween (three times if you count 1974’s Dark Star, which I do), it’s safe to say that John Carpente…

If you see people having fun discussing horror movies, don't do this. It's not witty. It's not helpful, and it's certainly not original. At best, it's INCREDIBLY annoying, and at worst, it sounds like you're shaming someone for daring to not think about politics 24/7. Either way, you're an asshole.

I'm not taking that bait.

Okay, I'll follow.

I could do pre-movie talks on zombie and cannibal movies but people might not want to come back.

No, no...I think you misheard: The RAPTOR is coming this week. Still a cause for concern, I suppose. You could stay inside, but she can open doors. Clever girl.

That's awful news. Sorry to hear that.

Depressingly, I have encountered a number of English folks who are genuinely that bigoted and dumb as shit so it could be either. Hope it's a bot, though.

Darren Gaskell @darrengaskell.bsky.social · 24d

When I think these folks can't be any more thick, they pull something like this out of the bag. I mean, tip of the hat to that guy for being that much of a fuckwit and still managing to type.
