I'm a slave to the cinema and a horror writer who often wishes life was like an old monster movie. And I voted for her.

Finally seeing the full Kill Bill over 20 years late, revisiting one of this year's best in anticipation of its nightmarish sequels, a magical-realist masterpiece about a hitman with a heart of gold, and more of Nick & Nora drinking their way through a mystery. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Me trying to contact @verizon-wireless.bsky.social when my wireless network keeps going down, killing my ability to send or receive calls or texts, and finding out that they've done away with email tech support.

Thanks for all the love, guys.

Terence Fisher's The Hound Of The Baskervilles (1959, Hammer Films)
"A sight to shatter the nerves! A story to stun the senses!" "Never has the night known a beast like this!" "It's the picture about that bone-chilling howl!" "It's ten times the terror in Technicolor!" are the sort of taglines not seen nowadays that are screaming on the movie poster for the 1959 Hammer Films production The Hound Of The Baskervilles.

The guy is a whiny creep.

The woman is a real hero.
And a real human being.

This week, I finally caught up with the 70s theatrical feature debuts of Steven Spielberg & John Carpenter, while revisiting horror classics from Guillermo del Toro & his hero Ishiro Honda. Lots of cars, vampires, & mushroom monsters. But only one spaceship, sorry.

When people would first meet Christopher Lee, some were put off by his armor of aloofness and authority. But it was just a protective front for a very sensitive soul. Once you got past it, he was a friend, a true friend, with incredible depths of understanding and care.
Good friends Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee during the filming of The Gorgon, laughing their asses off.

The @unboxindustries.bsky.social @transmissiontoys.bsky.social Godzilla Minus One sculpture has had it with lying around doing nothing and is finally going to catch that anti-sea mine fishing boat once and for all. Sculpture by Erick Sosa.

I don't find it totally without merit. But yeah, the well had long run dry on the Dracula series and I don't blame Van Helsing for finding a quick exit.

"FOUR?!?" reads the caption of the rightfully indignant Eric Idle in Monty Python's Life Of Brian, when he's offered the paltry amount of four.

Baba Yaga, who is definitely depicted as a witch woman with a considerable chest size, appears in Hellboy comics in 1996, about 18 years before the first John Wick.

I'll always love Jackie, but he's going to be 72 in less than half a year. I suppose neither logic nor physics are at play here.
Jackie Chan, recently.

The @unboxindustries.bsky.social soft vinyl figure of The Creature V2 from @realgdt.bsky.social Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein captures the lonely sadness of Jacob Elordi in Mike Hill's makeup design, with eyes that ask the universe "Why?" with no answer forthcoming. #Frankenstein #madebyunbox
The Unbox Industries soft vinyl figure of the "V2" Creature from Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, featuring the Mike Hill/Jacob Elordi design, sadly extends his left arm under the "Frankenstein" logo, while bathed in lurid amber, red, and UV lights.
