@franksmedia.bsky.social

Happy Anniversary to @stephenking.bsky.social IT 🎈! I remember seeing the TV miniseries when I was a kid, and being absolutely terrified of Pennywise. IT miniseries truly made a huge impact to me as a horror fan and it's one of the most important movies to me growing up.

@franksmedia.bsky.social

Sent by @celluloid-dreams.bsky.social their newest Bluray release, A Hyena In The Safe, just arrived! A 60’s Heist Giallo film directed by Cesare Canevari.

I thought the film was stylistic and very entertaining. The newly restored transfer was detailed & the colors were VIBRANT.

All these Black Phone 2 posts I'm seeing is getting me excited for the new movie. I absolutely loved the original, and Ethan Hawke was phenomenal as The Grabber. I'm just hoping the sequel is as good as the first film.
