Not seen Better Off Dead but heard it's xmas adjacent. Don't know if it's your vibe but I like Cash on Demand, a bank heist retelling of A Christmas Carol (it's a noir so good for Noirvember ha, AND a Hammer film - a good bridge between spooky season and Christmas). Plus it's 80mins and on YouTube!

If I ever do that I'm getting up and walking out at the end of The Snowman 😂

Tim @lostinvhs.bsky.social · 23h

Start now I say. For some reason I re-watched The Snowman the other day (it popped up on YouTube) so I must be feeling the same pull. I kind of want to watch stuff that's Christmas-adjacent (ie. set partly over Christmas but not specifically about it) so I don't peak too early. What will you watch?

A ★★★★ review of A Cock and Bull Story (2005)

I want this and The Trip to be in the same universe as one another.

Only managed five films for #Shocktober this year: Tales of Terror (1962), The Return of Doctor X (1939), Young Frankenstein (1974), The Raven (1963), and the best one, It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966). Technically watched the last one in November but I'm counting it. #filmsky 🎬📽️

Very, very true. It's on a few free services so I might put it on again over the next couple of days! Saw it at the cinema when it came out and remember really liking it. This is about the level of horror I can cope with 😂

Ooh yeah I like this one too!

I'm very sorry things have been so tough 😔 Do be gentle with yourself. I hope things feel better soon 🙂

1986 to 1991 really were a low point in TOTP title design.

Disproportionately delighted with this birthday gift

But a high point in TV theme tunes.

Horror isn't my favourite but I do love that film!

Tim @lostinvhs.bsky.social · 6d

Ah that's a shame! 😕 It's a Mubi one I think so it'll hopefully be on there soon!

Not seen that one I'm afraid, but is The Mastermind showing anywhere near you? Gabby Hoffman is in it for a bit and is good!

Another nice looking tree on my way home the other day.

I'm watching silly, non-scary horrors only this #Shocktober, and tonight I'm re-watching Young Frankenstein (1974) #filmsky 📽️🎬

Must admit I'm only familiar with The Harrow & the Harvest but it was one of those gigs where not really knowing a lot of it beforehand didn't matter at all.

Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, on at Manchester Apollo last night, are the figures you can just about make out thanks to the inadequacies of my phone camera. They were very good.

Oh no, hope you're feeling better soon 😔
