Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Man, George Eastman, one of the towering presences in Italian exploitation movies, and one of those actors who, when they turn up on screen, you give a little cheer, has died. RIP You absolute gut muncher. 000
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Some days only one song is needed to turn a hangover into a triumph. 000
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 18/02/2026R.I.P. Tom Noonan. One of the all time great 'vibe' actors, the kind who instantly make films better whenever they turn up, and responsible for what might be the best horror villain performance of the 1980s. "I deserve your AWE..." 61459
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 10/01/2026Evidence of last night's cinematic atrocities. 'Angst' (1983) and 'Zombi 4' AKA 'After Death' (1989). 010
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Finally found photo evidence of Doyle from 'The Professionals' being a Magma man... 53410
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 25/12/2025DEFINITELY a Christmas movie. Hope you're all having a great day. X 000
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 13/11/2025I'm playing New River Studios on the 28th of November as part of this excellent line up. First show in a while, and, to be honest, I play so irregularly nowadays that it may be the last show in a while as well. Hopefully see some of you down there. 000
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 07/11/2025You could just WATCH THE FUCKING FILMS. That the horror critical establishment is only now waking up to the fact that The Terrifier films just might be a tiny bit misogynistic is astounding. You're a critic. Don't get distracted by ‘strong female characters’ in angel wings and do your job properly. 120
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 03/11/2025Number one in a series I'm calling "Late Night Pictures of Richard Lynch". 000
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Seeing as this is where everyone hangs out these days: I'm going to be having drinks at New River on Thursday afternoon before checking this lot out, if anyone's around for a bevvy? 000
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 16/10/2025I'm calling this one "Childhood's End (Hands of the Pink Ripper)" 010
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 08/10/2025Slightly better than this monstrosity, I'd argue. 100
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 08/10/2025As soon as it kicked in he ran for a cuddle. Poor little fella. 010
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 04/10/2025Fucking hell, can you imagine what this would be like? 12256
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 21/09/2025There you go. The elusive pint of mild. Cracking. 140
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 18/09/2025We all need to be reminded of that time Cliff Richard played the dark, brooding antihero in a musical adaptation of Wuthering Heights called simply 'Heathcliff!' (There might not have actually been an exclamation mark in the title.) 381
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 27/08/2025According to Wayne Gooderham's piece on @thequietus.com about Van Morrison: "a love-struck Van went through a period of crouching inside dustbins in order to surprise – and presumably endear himself to – a girl he was especially besotted with..." How lucky that we have this artist's impression... 020
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 27/08/2025What a glorious age to be a horror fan! Where once there was darkness, now, due to the new 4K restoration, I can see that Brian from Zombie Flesh Eaters is wearing this dope ass 'Daily Planet' T-shirt. A revelation! 011
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 08/08/2025Damn, that Charlie Haden was a cool motherfucker. 120
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Look, up in the sky! Is it bird? Is it a plane? NO! It's the return of THE SAVAGE BEAST! Me and everyone's favourite super hound, The Beast Must Die have used the release of James Gunn's Superman as an excuse to get the dynamic duo back together for a new podcast. shows.acast.com/66280c8cd1e1... 010
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 23/07/2025Two of my essays are included in the recent @101filmsuk.bsky.social releases of Stuart Gordon's 'Castle Freak' and David Schmoeller's 'Tourist Trap'. They're doing God's work, these small physical release labels. 101-films-store.com/collections/... 011
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 18/07/2025Not a great slasher, but a very beautiful one: The Prey (Edwin Brown, 1983) 000
Mat Colegate @matcolegate.bsky.social · 18/07/2025Does anyone eat vol-au-vents anymore? I haven't seen one since 1998. Can't imagine why. Look at these delicious specimens! 000
