We are trying everything to get Mr Big back on his paws. He's set off today to the big hospital where a series of tests and specialists are waiting for him. Keep him in your thoughts. We hope to have some answers tomorrow for this gentle older dog we love so much ❤️

But how do you make the noise of a slap or punch on stage? Or is that just left to the imagination of the audience?

I've changed my opinion on that slap. Always thought Mr W. encouraged MM to really go for it for authenticity, but I now realise it's a pulled strike. (If that's the right term?)

Short Night of Glass Dolls. 1971. Sinister mystery told from the morgue with a jaw dropping final reel. Diabolically dark with twisted tension in spades. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #giallo #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #italianhorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

As a life-long sufferer of sleep paralysis, that ending has always stayed with me. Any situation where a person can't communicate their existing life and thought fills me with dread. Unnerving.

One critic described him as bringing a "Doughy menace" to the role. Perhaps a tad cruel, but there's a certain truthfulness to the remark.

There's a kind of karma in seeing Chaney Jr playing the role his father would undoubtedly have taken on in the '31 Dracula. He lacks that almost aristocratic charm we associate with the Count, but it's a performance of subtlety and his trademark sympathy.

What the fuck is wrong with dog owners round here. Another mutant muscle with a mouth and bad attitude attached just went for Torgo after it slipped its owner. Luckily I manged to just about get in the way and hold the beast off. This is the 4th time at least in as many months. Control your dogs!

Chaney may seem an unlikely choice but he acquits himself nicely. And with great support plus glorious sets and excellent effects its stylishly spooky fun. 1943. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

It's a wonderfully moody and atmospheric little gem. I've never considered it as a sequel to the previous two movies, more of a reimagining of the Dracula myth. A proposed title was 'The Modern Dracula', which perhaps indicates Universal's intent to move away from established vampire lore.

Equally luckless with the opposite sex Cushing creates a beautifully vengeful seductress, and she's a keeper. A soul swapping Hammer high. 1967. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #hammerhorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #classichorror

Everything you'd expect from a Hammer movie, plus the existential concept of soul-swapping. I find that pàrt of the plot fascinating, but I know it divides a lot of people. Peter brings his usual brisk authority to a role he's now very comfortable with. Certainly one of the best in the series.

Perhaps because of the huge number of rotations of the Earth during H.G's decades of time travel, and by incredible coincidence, the exact space the Argo left in London is now the ground floor of the museum? (The science of that may need confirmation by someone who knows what they're talking about😃)

Puberty hits hard in a frightful fusion of western and scifi horror. Admirably bad bunkum with a memorable Jack Pierce beast. They can't all be classic. 1957. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

Well, it's probably not the best movie you've ever posted, but it's not without a kind of ultra-cheap, am-dram enthusiasm and energy. It had a quick change of title to appeal to newly invented teenagers,who I can imagine enjoying this as a date movie at a drive-in.

With a top cast, terrific atmosphere and the balance of horror and Hope spot on it's a creepy delight. And Sondergaard's in the house. Bonus. 1939. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #horror #film

It deliberately takes on a lighter, much more humourous tone than the '27 version. Perhaps an understandable choice after the grinding years of the Great Depression. All the old, creepy house tropes - including portraits with eye holes, which always makes me laugh. Terrific entertainment.

Well, we don't always have to agree to have an interesting discussion about a movie, do we? One of the many things I enjoy about your account is that it's a haven of sometimes very different, but always civilised and friendly opinions.

For me, this a challenging watch. But that's good, it does us good to be taken out of our comfort zone occasionally. I can appreciate the many good things about it, but it's not a movie I enjoyed or will ever return to.

Lugosi's in dastardly form as a wronged man out for deadly revenge with mutant bats. Poverty row perfection. A ghoulish high in lowbrow chills. 1940. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #belalugosi
