I've done a bit of spring cleaning on my LinkTree. There's a whole archive of articles & episodes on Thrillers, Horrors and Cult Films for your enjoyment, if you fancy a look: linktr.ee/JohnnyRestall A few teasers in the pictures below, with much much more available...

A close-up shot of a small boy and a burly man, crouching behind an armoured pram and staring intently into the distance with looks of furious concentration on their faces.

A beautiful dark-haired woman lies across a sofa or bed (not sure which), an enigmatic expression on her face. Her hands appear to have sharp claws and fur, which is tearing the fabric she lies on.

An illustration of a striking face staring directly at the viewer. Although the features are roughly humanoid, the skin is blue, the large eyes are red, the ear are like crinkled fins, and they are quite bald.

A woman stands to the left of the black and white picture, an expression of calculating triumph on her face as she towers over a television screen showing a middle-aged male politician. In the background behind her are television cameras and reporters.

Join me and @jamesstoorie.bsky.social on the Thriller Cabinet Podcast as we discuss the dank, watery terrors of Henri-Georges Clouzot's classic film LES DIABOLIQUES (1955). You may never bathe again... Available now via Spotify, Apple, or here: thethrillercabinet.libsyn.com

This beautiful illustrated poster for Les Diaboliques features a tilted wicker trunk at the left, floating on a bed of greenish watercolours above a translucent submerged body. To the right, two dark female figures stand; the shorter is made of black and white dots, while the taller towers above here in black silhouette, throwing an enlarged, spidery hand around the smaller figure.

The Thriller Cabinet Podcast returns! For our 1st episode, we dissect John Frankenheimer's astonishing SECONDS (1966). Join me and @jezconolly.bsky.social as we talk identity, body horror & wild camerawork... Available via Spotify & Apple, or download from Libsyn here: thethrillercabinet.libsyn.com

Poster for the film SECONDS (1966). The poster is in black and white except for the movie's title and Rock Hudson's name, which are in bold yellow. The central image is circular, with its figures distorted through a fish-eye lense; it shows a man strapped to an operating table, being wheeled down a corridor by two orderlies while a bearded man stands alongside them, reading the last rites from a book. Beneath it to the left is a smaller illustration of several figures who seem to be morphing together, while the title credits are to the right.

I loved Words and Pictures but never saw this one until I saw it more recently. This was my favourite, although I did find it a bit unsettling with Winter's behaviour reminding me of a poltergeist. bsky.app/profile/folk...

I'm currently planning series two of my film podcast The Thriller Cabinet. If you're a critic, podcaster or eloquent enthusiast, and you have a burning desire to discuss a particular film thriller, drop me a line! All ideas happily considered. More here: thethrillercabinet.libsyn.com #FilmSky

An inky black and white drawing of a woman's face, close up. Her expression is one of both fear and curiosity, with half her face in darkness, her mouth slightly open and her long hair billowing into the shadows.
