A HUGE thank you to everyone who came to our shows at Colchester and Bungay on Thursday and Friday! You were absolutely amazing crowds, and Bob and I had a blast! Remember: it all kicks off...

BLOOD ON SATAN'S CLAW (1971): Part of the 'unholy trinity' of early Folk Horror films, along with Witchfinder General and The Wicker Man. The unearthing of a deformed skull sets off a terrible chain of events in an 18th century village...

SOLD OUT! If you're coming along to tonight's Folk Horror show at Bungay's Fisher Theatre, we'll see you later!

TONIGHT! Only three tickets remaining for our Folk Horror show at Bungay's Fisher Theatre!

At the beautiful Colchester Arts Centre for tonight's Folk Horror show! Performing in a converted church seems very appropriate, somehow...

On my way to sunny Colchester for tonight's Folk Horror show with @bobfischer.bsky.social! As far as I know, there are still some tickets left, so if you fancy popping along, here's the link. If you are going - see you later! Tickets: bit.ly/47E8zsY

ONE DAY TO GO!

From dystopian sci-fi to disco sci-fi! LOGAN'S RUN received the TV treatment in 1977, quickly jettisoning the film's philosophical concepts and bringing in aliens, ghosts, and time travel. Still, the hovercraft was cool.

HAMMER HOUSE OF HORROR: THE TWO FACES OF EVIL (1980) Beware the yellow raincoat! A family pick up a hitchhiker who turns out to be the husband's murderous doppelganger, complete with one long, sharpened fingernail. Not so much a letter opener, more a neck opener...

AN ENGLISHMAN'S CASTLE (1978): Brilliant alt-history drama set in a world where the Nazis won WWII. Kenneth More is a jaded ex-resistance fighter who now writes a popular soap opera set in 1940. He realises that he can use his show to spark an uprising...

Swiss illustrator Etienne Delessert's SESAME STREET animations were wild and dreamlike. 1974's 'Rabbit Run' features kids being chased by a giant mutant rabbit, accompanied by some fabulous (old-school) drum and bass music.

SECOND HAND SMOKE: Just watching this Scottish PIF makes my lungs burn.

The creepy end titles to ITV's spooky kid's drama ESCAPE INTO NIGHT (1972). Because sometimes, children's drawings are *deeply* unnerving.

DECEPTION OF A GENERATION (1984): Fundamentalist Satanic Panic VHS tape hosted by Dr Strange and a young Donald Trump (Gary Greenwald and Phil Philips). They posit that everything from He-Man to the Smurfs is riddled with Occult, Satanic evil. I wish my D&D minis screamed, that sounds ace.
