@BenWoodiwiss The Exorcist 3 is a great sequel and a strong contender.
I’m now thinking that I should include one of my favourite Mephisto movies and include Murnau’s “Faust.” A more subtle sort of ‘possession.’ And a brilliantly sly and mischievous portrayl of the devil.
Saturday night is my online chat and beer night with friends. Different topic of conversation, mostly in the horror genre. Tonight is a choice of three ‘slashers’ each.
So I chose these three. Which all happened to be Italian.
I did deliberate over “Psycho.”
@paulpcooke I kind of miss it. I spent a few years doing that vaguely autobiographic coal mining story, drawing it in pencil/charcoal shades and I realised that I really missed colour, countryside and the coast.
I want to return to doing a bright sunlit horror book if I can.
Oh yeah... it was called “Surface Tension” published by Titan Comics. It’s still in print.
Ha ha, I’m rubbish at self promotion. But just in case you are interested and like UK set viral sci-fi, body horror with a dash of folk horror.
There was even talk of a TV show once.
I needed a reprieve from current events. Powell & Pressburger’s “The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp” was tonight’s viewing. Loved it, just what I needed as a bit of whimsy. The restoration looked beautiful on this ITV blu ray, that techincolour looked so luscious and glossy.
One for @westonfront and those intrigued by “Daimajin.”
“Frankenstein conquers the world.”
During WWII, a monstrous heart is taken from Frankenstein’s lab by Nazis and sent via U-boat to a Japanese lab, where it gets exposed to the radiation of the bombing of Hiroshima.
Ooo... this looks great! I didn’t know how much I needed to see undead cursed British red coat soldiers marauding around India until today.
“Betaal.” Netflix.
Shades of 2019’s “Worzel Gummidge.” :)
I’m planning my virtual holiday. I’m going to be hopping between Germany, London, Mexico, Tibet and the American West via Italy.
I’ve already grown my zapata moustache in preparation. :)
Okay, some of you might remember my lock-down quest to discover the name of the uncredited artist responsible for the iconic pulp novel cover to Guy N. Smith’s “Night of the Crabs.” Thanks to @s_daly we think that we might have a name - Richard Clifton-Day.
@seraphinelli Ursula Le Guin’s Earthsea books from way back in 1968. Le Guin was way ahead of the curve.
