My teacher brother has just informed me that his primary school kids now refer to anything shit or old fashioned as "Brexit". Which has made my morning.

I was grateful to be a part of Fangoria. When the brand stopped paying its writers and was hijacked by awful people (hi Sam Zimmerman👋) I opted out. I was a tiny byline to a bigger story and FAR more important figures than me contributed to Fango. But my stuff will not be in the new digital reprints

Big BIG props to the two women on the LNER train there thinking I was a full-on doofus for dropping some shopping on my way to move seats. I sat in my seat and was relaxing but you both came on the quiet coach (repeat: quiet coach) and decided a full on loud conversation was the way. Apologies 🫠

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

I always felt the only horror movie that was 50% funny (as in "laugh out loud") and 50% scary was An American Werewolf in London. It's still unmatched.

This is my local MP. Based in Kent. Hardly ever in the town. Our town centre has about 40 boarded shops. The worst poltician my local area has ever had and I'm old enough to remember the dark days of having an Alba Party MP (remember those gimps?)

Standout sequel, a triumph of stunning production design. Karloffs last film as the monster but as wily Ygor this really belongs to Lugosi. 1939. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #horror #film

Mao Zedong is fairly and objectively judged a terrible, evil villain based on actual deeds Mao had done, from causing widespread famine with Great Leap Forward to widespread violence with Cultural Revolution plus personal corruption like keeping a harem of young women for him to abuse.

Calum Waddell @brassupnorth.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

And in spite of EVERYTHING else, Mao had a harem of very young girls right into his old age - like how anyone even overlooks that and goes "but..." is beyond me.

Also it was Deng Xiaoping, not Mao Zedong, who kicked off the transformation that turned China into a superpower. Mao had Deng’s son thrown off a 4th floor window though, and crippled for life.

Once again everyone. Mao was 70% good and 30% bad. Bad things were also done by the Gang of Four. Hua Guofeng too. The cultural revolution will now be negated. Local cadres will advise you on how to revise your thought. Now, raise the glorious banner of the Party and work for the 4 modernisations!

New horror films should come with a warning about whether or not Shudder produced them. I instantly regretted my rental of the new Faces of Death when their logo came up. What begins as a pretty decent idea spirals into insane levels of stupidity that will have you begging this mess to just end.

David Friedman and Don Edmonds told me *on the record* that Ivan Reitman wrote the first. I got to ask Reitman this at a press conference and he said he had nothing to do with any Ilsa film (although his name on the third) and he told Cinepix not to make them. He cancelled my one-on-one interview.

Calum Waddell @brassupnorth.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

The Franco one is awful but I have tried to spend much less on physical media and then last week I found out Ilsa, The Tigress of Siberia is on 4k and I obv ordered it 🤦‍♂️ Two fun facts: Only Ilsa I saw from 35mm in a cinema (Sitges 2018, intro by Dyanne) and only one to carry Ivan Reitman's name.
