#SystemShock2 is a real classic of #RetroGaming A predecessor for #BioShock that innovated the mix between First Person Shooter and #CRPG No idea how good the 25th Anniversary Remaster is, but it's gotta be worth checking out if it's free. #PCGaming #VideoGames #RetroGames

Well, that had a lot of potential, and a lot of atmosphere, but as with all Poe & Lovecraft short stories, the conclusion has to be unsatisfying because otherwise the vast cosmic horror doesn't work. Good effort for a Corman film, on a par with lesser Hammer films. But I think there was a […]

And the twist is that he was only hallucinating the fire and strangling the cat, and actually he was strangling the already dead fox... ... but then he realises him strangling the dead fox was a hallucination, and he was really strangling the corpse of Ligeia... .. but that was also a […]

I've really lost track of who is-and-isn't dead at this point. Did she die of a careless and needless hand wound she got on a mirror for no reason? Did the cat try to bring her back with fishy kiss-of-life, and then get killed by being shoved off a bed, and then use its resurrection powers on […]

The cost of heating the secret wing of the house must be pricey. Do you think it being secret helps keep the council tax down? Or is the square footage all declared? #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

Yeah, I thought Ligeia insisting that unto death they would *not* part was a bit uncool as a dying act... ... especially as it pre-emptively took off the table them forming the partially undead polygamistic threesome. #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

This movie has been heavily carried by the exceptional set design and location shooting, and the cinematography is above average for Corman, but this middle is starting to drag. Is it Poe's fault that we've got a meander in the middle? Or is it padding because insufficient Poe for the movie? […]

Speaking of foxes, I peaked out of my window to see what the shrieking noise was coming from outside at half-one a few nights ago, and it was a fox. Not remarkable given where foxes go, what they do, and where I live.. ... just that it was happily walking along the path outside, and I've never […]

Speaking of scotch... ... I'm drinking an expensive single malt that is more than a little disappointing. Very smooth, but quite young casking, so a bit closer to an easy-to-sip vodka. And I might well pop in a small spot of fizzy water later. #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

The downside of knowing this film backwards is not only being unable to speculate on plot twists; but also not wanting to give away spoilers to crack a joke either. #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill1959
