Working on an AI Third Doctor fan-film and the results are uncanny.

"A candy coloured clown they call the Sandman..." Found for a quid at #recordcollector in #Sheffield. Despite a torn cover, once cleaned the vinyl is surprisingly good, with no locks, jumps or clicks. It's a 'dreams' concept album almost. #RoyOrbison was streets ahead of his contemporaries.

But IMO if you look at her in her 'Black Books' costume, she's serving Eccleston looks for sure

'Ringu' helped spur a new thread of more emotional/psychological horror and ghost story cinema. Definitely influenced by MR James, in particular 'Casting The Runes'. #31DaysInOctober #Halloween

#31DaysInOctober #Halloween #horror Back in 1984, when what remained of the British film industry was all about frightfully worthy things like empire and athletics, 'The Company Of Wolves' was a most un-British British film. Dream state and properly surreal.

John Carpenter's urban cosmic #horror 'Prince Of Darkness' is tonight's #31DaysInOctober selection. #Halloween

Last night's viewing, Neil Jordan's modern day #vampire tale, 'Byzantium' #Halloween #31DaysInOctober #horror

Mark Gatiss' adaptation of M R James' 'Count Magnus' suffers a little from the penury of BBC budgets, but it's still an effective telling. #31DaysInOctober #Halloween #horror

Title card for 'A Ghost Story For Christmas'

#31DaysInOctober and last night I partook of another @nunkie.bsky.social production, 'A Warning To The Curious'. In my opinion, Robert Lloyd Parry's intense performance outshines the Lawrence Gordon Clark Ghost Story For Christmas adaptation. #Halloween #horror #GhostStory

A bit of catching up for #31DaysInOctober. Finished Guillermo del Toro's vampire tale 'Cronos' over two nights and snatched a Simpsons episode before I went out t'pub on Friday. #horror #Halloween #cinema #TV

Tonight's #31DaysInOctober viewing is balls-to-the-wall horror from the Titan of Terror, the Duke O' Darkdom, @garthmarenghi.bsky.social, featuring the so goddam controversial episode 'Scotch Mist' from #Darkplace.

Tonight's eldritch selection is a millenial found footage take on the #ghoststory, 'The Casebook Of Eddie Brewer'. #31DaysInOctober #horror #Halloween

Today's choice is Mark Gatiss' deliciously grim portmanteau TV drama, 'Crooked House'. #31DaysInOctober #Halloween #horror

It turns out that I have just enough discs to do the one horror/supernatural film a day for #Halloween. 1. 'Casting The Runes' (ITV) #31DaysInOctober #horror

A piece of transient art in tribute to #Bradford, including a 1-in-12 Club biscuit. Those who have this limited edition, don't be the sad one to preserve the biscuits. In the tradition of #Dada, they are objects to be destroyed! #BradfordCityOfCulture #art #fancyabrew
