When my daughter made all of her friends watch Trick or Treat at her birthday party last year, I nearly cried. And 15 teenagers all LOVED it!

The Return of the Living Dead (1985) isn’t nuclear, but it’s definitely nuclear-adjacent. 💀
A leaked military gas called Trioxin unleashes punk-rock chaos: melting cadavers, graveyard rain, and paramedics who should’ve stayed in the van. More ROTLD facts coming soon; don’t inhale the fumes!

Final THREADS (1984) post!
That last scream from Ruth’s daughter wasn’t the actress, it was a real baby’s cry, distorted until it sounded inhuman. Mick Jackson said even the editors could barely stand to hear it.
What film should I tackle next: The Day After? Testament? When the Wind Blows? #horror

During Threads (1984), right after the bomb hits Sheffield, a terrified woman loses control of her bladder, credited only as “Woman Who Urinates Herself.”Her name was Anne Sellors. She passed in 2015 at 63. Let’s raise a Sheffield pint to her fearless realism. 🍻

Another THREADS (1984) horror lesson: Ruth Beckett’s tabby cat turns from cozy domesticity to chilling symbol of nuclear annihilation. 😿
Don’t worry! The “dying” cat was just high on catnip; the footage was reversed to look tragic. ☣️

I finally have Shudder again and I’m catching up on all the Joe Bobs I missed last year. We’re starting with the Nightmare-a-Thon. I’m bummed two of the movies are missing, but I’m sure they’ll show back up eventually. @therealjoebob123.bsky.social Slumber Party Massacre, let’s go! #MutantFam

Anybody seen this one? Thoughts?

I’m watching #Svengoolie with you guys, but Young Frankenstein (pronounced FrAHNK-in-steeen) is so dang good I can’t stop to make quips. It’s my 17-yr-old kid’s first time watching and they are loving it so far! #youngfrankenstein

The bandaged traffic warden in Threads (1984) has finally been identified after 40 years as actor Michael Beecroft. A symbol of order turned nightmare, he remains one of the most haunting faces of nuclear collapse ever filmed. #ThreadsFilm #RetroHorror #NuclearPanic #MutantFam #CultFilm #80sHorror

Continuing my mission to educate the masses about THREADS (1984)…
Around 00:52:30, during the firestorm montage, there’s a shot of an E.T. doll melting in the blast. It lasts less than a second, but it’s a haunting moment, a symbol of childhood innocence literally dissolving in the apocalypse. ☣️

Threads took that theory and turned it into something unforgettable: the collapse of ordinary life, rendered with documentary realism. Still one of the bleakest, most important pieces of Cold War cinema ever made. 3/4

When it aired in 1984, the science was new and terrifying: even a limited nuclear exchange could plunge the planet into years of darkness and starvation. 2/4

☢️ THREADS (1984)-
One of the first films to show what nuclear winter might really look like: ash-dark skies, freezing temperatures, failed crops, and a world slowly unraveling. 1/4

Anyone get real excited when they see younger people watching classic horror movies for the first time?

Or when you see older folks watching new horror movies for the first time?

Or when you see anyone watching a horror movie for the first time.

I love that for all of you.

Rampant sleaze with Hollywood legend Gloria Grahame leading the twisted fun. Seedy and despairing with a hint of 70s camp. Prime Grime. 1971.

And the Vic Morrow helicopter scene has been completely removed. At least it wasn’t on the Tubi edition I watched tonight. I support that - it’s awful knowing how many dozens of times I watched it as a kid not knowing I was watching a horrific thing happening in real life. #horror #retrohorror 2/2

RetroVoid Cinema @retrovoidcinema.bsky.social · 22d

I watched Twilight Zone: The Movie tonight - hadn’t seen it in 20 years - and learned that Anthony’s mouthless sister in the “It’s a Good Life” segment was played by Cherie Curie! Also the guy that pushes Anthony in the bar is Billy Mumy who played the original Anthony in 1961! Neat, eh? 1/2
