As I continue Saw-athon re-watch. I’ve really realised that this franchise is one hell of a commitment to a singular storyline, like it or love it.

I promise I didn’t watch out of order, simply forgot to log IV (2007) on the day. Doh!

To an entire generation, this Steven Spielberg produced Victorian era adventure may feel like a fever dream. But it’s real and it deserves some love! Written by GREMLINS screenwriter Chris Columbus, we’re celebrating 40 years of YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES.

I think I’ve just written a Christmas joke, which is odd, because I hate Christmas. Maybe I didn’t, maybe it’s an old one and I just suppressed it.

Why can you contractually never win a game of hide and seek with Father Christmas?

Because of the hidden Clause.

Been thinking about Udo Kier a lot today and his omnipresence throughout my lifelong love of horror.

In Mark Of The Devil (1970), I was so astounded by his beauty that I dubbed him ‘Handsome Udo’; henceforth his forever name.

Sound on for Handsome Udo theme tune!

Many of these are ones I tell anyone who’ll listen to watch. They are also responsible for people taking the piss out of my horror hobby.

When I’m less sensitive about that, I reminds myself that we all mock hobbies we don’t understand. Then I go back to reiterating that The Coffee Table is superb.

After a re-watch of House Of 1000 Corpses (2003) at the weekend, I went off on a Rob Zombie theme (ignore The Mummy (2017)).

Watching a House Of triple back to back gave me a massive appreciation for 3 From Hell (2019) that I didn’t have when I first watched it.

Poster for the horror film House of 1000 Corpses. The right side features a close-up of a decayed, corpse-like face lit in harsh red and yellow tones. On the left, the title “HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES” appears in large red block letters stacked vertically. At the bottom, a dark, ominous image of a rural house glows red under nightfall, with silhouettes and eerie lighting. The text at the top reads, “Written & Directed by Rob Zombie,” and at the bottom, “The most shocking tale of carnage ever seen.” Poster for the horror film Talk to Me. A severed, pale ceramic hand lies on a wooden table beside a lit candle, its fingers stained with blood. Shadowy human hands reach toward it from the darkness above. The background is covered with scribbled, chaotic writing repeatedly saying “TALK TO ME.” A quote at the top reads, “A welcome splash of new blood on the horror landscape.” Near the bottom, text reads: “You call. They’ll answer.” followed by the title Talk to Me and production credits.

This week has been horror films of my youth. Honestly, most held up to the enjoyment levels I remember.

Saw (2004) remains pretty damn brilliant. The screaming at the end still chilled me to my bones. But I take it personally that it’s over 20 years old…

My 300th horror film of the year and 200th classic film of the year was the resplendent The Masquerade Of The Red Death (1964). Delighted to give this honour to the equally glorious Vincent Price.

Vintage movie poster for The Masque of the Red Death starring Vincent Price. The poster features a large red-tinted illustration of a man’s face (Vincent Price) filled with smaller, intricate images of people in anguish and torment. Text on the left reads: “LOOK INTO THIS FACE. SHUDDER… at the blood-stained dance of the Red Death! TREMBLE… to the hideous tortures of the catacombs of Kali! GASP… at the sacrifice of the innocent virgin to the vengeance of Baal!” The title appears at the bottom in stylized black and red lettering, with credits for American International Pictures, Hazel Court, Jane Asher, and director Roger Corman.

Winner of the week: the Arrow release of The City Of The Dead (1960) - free to view on YouTube.

Stellar Amicus-adjacent work from Milton Subotsky with nuanced use repetition to enhance the tale.

The image of Barlow holding the giant cross aloft was haunting af.

The Collector (1965), utterly brilliant. So close to perfection. So, so close.

The Mothman Prophecies (2002) and, in particular, Gothika (2003), not as good as I remember. Twenty years sure does change taste.
