South East England. Into genre evolution, H.G. Wells to H.G. Lewis, Hammer to Chainsaw. Giallo and Euro horror are my happy place. Incurable nostalgia junkie. 🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈

And some days that's enough for me, they can't all be classic. And my logic being if I start the week with an allegedly 'bad' film it can only get better! 😄 I shall atone myself with something more acceptable this afternoon...😊

The yearn for youth gives Susan Cabot a buzz in classic cut price Corman. Rather enjoyable bunkum. Switch your brain off and she's in the fun zone. 1959.

Indeed, a Henry James classic co-adapted by Truman Capote. It's every bit as good as it should be, a visually stunning masterwork of suspense. Very highly recommended.

Nonsense, you're a bastion of good taste! Usually...😂😂

Great fun isn't it. I've never seen Svengoolie, but the film's a cracker!

Fantastic... 😱🖤

horrorposterguy1.bsky.social @horrorposterguy1.bsky.social · 13h

It's incredible isn't it, pure cinema. And it really creeps under the skin...

horrorposterguy1.bsky.social @horrorposterguy1.bsky.social · 13h

Wow, I'm speechless... that's just brilliant, thanks! 💀

One of their very best, even without Mr. Cushing...😊

Controversial 😆 but film's always subjective. Odd though, I'd have thought this was right up your street. But I do enjoy a different perspective! 🖤

They really don't make them like Freddie Francis anymore.

Fantastic shot, not seen it before. Thanks for sharing...

He does indeed, with slightly less terrifying sideburns...😱

horrorposterguy1.bsky.social @horrorposterguy1.bsky.social · 18h

To be fair, the film itself is hardly subtle 😆 but I do see your point and agree, there's some terrific stuff here making it all worthwhile! 💀

horrorposterguy1.bsky.social @horrorposterguy1.bsky.social · 18h

That's a fantastic double bill, The Haunting is perhaps my favourite cinematic ghost story and there's guaranteed nightmares with both together. To be fair, guaranteed nightmares with the two you've carefully left unmentioned too, but for very different reasons!

It's outstanding isn't it, excellent on every level. Freddie Francis' stunning cinematography is one of the main stars but yes, Kerr is simply magnificent!

horrorposterguy1.bsky.social @horrorposterguy1.bsky.social · 20h

They often did, off the top of my head '13 Ghosts' boasted it's gimmick 'Illusion-O'....

I'm right beside you in the Freddie Francis fan club mate. He directed many of my favourite films but that aside as an Oscar winning cinematographer his work is extraordinary. And never more so than here...

Pretty sure I can guess which cast member grates, but that aside it's terrific fun! 😱

It's been a while since I last went on a charity shop treasure hunt, I really need to give up that lie-in and get hunting... 🔎

Classic adaption of Henry James from director Jack Clayton. Sublime. One of the finest ghost stories on film. Utterly spine-chilling, simply exquisite. 1961

He did, he was a terrific old school showman. And I'm quite a fan, I've several Castle films in my collection. Not all great but all great fun!

It's generally accepted within Hammer groups (and historically by Hammer themselves) that 'Brides' is part of their Dracula series. Whatever an individual opinion, it's included as such in all listings. Either way, great films.

It is indeed, and it still works today.
