Just watched two wildly different horror films in a row that riff on the PSYCHO shower scene. Fun.

A poster for I SAW WHAT YOU DID (1965) with Joan Crawford and someone holding a telephone receiver.

A poster for SHAUN THE SHEEP: THE BEAST OF MOSSY BOTTOM (2026) with a sheep holding some purple potion in a spooky lab.

I will have very little time to do a curated horror viewing this month but these lists are always fun so I'll give it a go for 2026. Here's last year's effort.

October horrors 2025

All the horror films I watched (amongst other things) in October 2025, in order of viewing.

For the past five or so years we have opened Halloween with a double legacy sequel night. This year we bucked the trend with two banger originals. Right choice.

Eloise Ross @cinemelo.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Was gonna change my Letterboxd top four faves to horror but I'd need to have the first three PSYCHO movies and.... maybe I can't do that?

Sorry but I often think about Scarlett Johansson doing Tom Waits on "Anywhere I Lay My Head" (sorry)

Farewell to Marina Vlady, who won a Best Actress Award in Cannes for her turn in Marco Ferreri’s THE CONJUGAL BED (1963) but is surely best known for her Juliette in Jean-Luc Godard’s 2 OR 3 THINGS I KNOW ABOUT HER (1967). She was 88. www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

In a lobby card for 2 OR 3 THINGS, Vlady lies on a bed beneath Hans Hillmann’s poster for Luis Buñuel’s THE CRIMINAL LIFE OF ARCHIBALDO DE LA CRUZ (1955).

It's my last night of a particular streaming service. I've narrowed it down. Should I watch: KNOCK AT THE CABIN (2023) or TWO RODE TOGETHER (1961) ????????????????????

Wow. I didn't realise when we chose our date for a BLUE VELVET 40th Anniverary screening that it was basically exactly correct! US release date September 19, 1986...Castlemaine Australia screening date, September 20, 2026!! tickets.oztix.com.au/outlet/event...

It's Ida Lupino and George Raft in 1972. Ida Lupino is saying "rude slob!" because a guy (Alan Arkin) stole their car from a gas station, gas pipe and all.

Ida Lupino in an ocelot-print coat and pillbox hat and George Raft in a grey fedora in a 1972 film about trucks called DEADHEAD MILES.

From Rogério Sganzerla's playful docufiction IT'S NOT ALL TRUE (1986)

Orson Welles looking at a sculpture, with the subtitle "Every spectator is a coward or a traitor."

John Ford in a room of men with the subtitle "Truth + Lie = Total Work of Art Message"

Truly. A dignified, important read for film history.

Paused and unintentionally captured this utterly beautiful image (so perfectly composed it could be a cross-fade) in BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK (1955).

Robert Ryan and Ernest Borgnine seen through a window that's reflecting Walter Brennan and the sparse California desert.

Unintentionally, but perfectly, watched a fantastic women-who-fuck double feature at MIFF yesterday.

Film poster for Pier Paolo Pasolini's MEDEA (1969) with a drawing of Maria Callas and stylistic Greek writing.

Film poster for Powell and Pressburger's GONE TO EARTH (1950) with a drawing of Jennifer Jones wrapped by her luscious pet fox.

Saw a Ms .45 vinyl in a record store on the weekend and didn't buy it. That was a huge err that *will* be rectified.

A ★★★★ review of Ms .45 (1981)

Absolutely perfect score for a Halloween party massacre.

Judy Holliday can't make you a gin martini, even if you ask very nicely. She's too perfect.

Once more I was up in Castlemaine today to watch Letty Lynton, a Joan Crawford film finally freed from 90 years of copyright purgatory and back on the big screen and let me tell you THE COSTUMES! JOAN’S EYEBROWS! THE DELICIOUS PRE-CODE ENDING OF GETTING OFF SCOT FREE! WHATTA PICTURE!

Joan Crawford in THE Letty Lynton dress that apparently caused a frenzy of millions of copies being produced. It’s a big, white, fluffy organza number with huge layered puffy sleeves and sheer layers of skirts ending in undulating ruffles.

Joan in a gold lamé number and a tiny tilted black cloche hat sitting and looking miserable as Nils Asther leans over from behind and clutches her by the upper arms because he’s a CAD who WON’T LEAVE HER ALONE! There is a bottle of champagne in a bucket in a little sidetable next to Joan that may well become a vehicle for MURDER.

Robert Montgomery and Joan Crawford flop about each other in a promotional still for Letty Lynton. I’m mainly including this one for Joan’s boat-themed costume, which has rather big nautical bunting flags around the neckline. She does indeed wear this dress on a boat in the film.
