Just watched The Entity. Still creepy after all these years.

Night of the Demon (1957) was a classic - but it would have been even better because the lead actor, writer and director all wanted the demon to never be seen (imagination is far more powerful of course) but the producer insisted on sticking it in as a special effect at the end and obviously those were rather more primitive in those days.

Without his interference it would have been perfect.

 It was a great concept for a movie.   But then it was written by the late, great MR James as Casting the Runes.  

I love it when he finally hands that bit of paper back to the guy who handed it to him in the first place.

 Well that goes without saying Digs, MR James is required reading for the ghost/horror aficionado. 

I could watch this movie over and over....and do

Watched this again recently, one of the best films I've ever seen.

Definitely in my top ten favourite films of all time.

Wasn't Percy a wee bastard?

 He was a smarmy little creep wasn't he.

 

It's a great film.

 He was a wee horror.

Even though I've seen it loads of times, I've still got to look away when I know he's about to stand on Mr Jingles.

Ricky Gervais in AFTERLIFE, series 2 on Netflix. It's as good, maybe even better than the first series.

I loved The Office, Loved Extras and Life's Too Short and as I only have Freeview I hoped that comes out on DVD one day Syl. 

I have a load of horror films recorded that I need to catch up on and also T2 - I thought Trainspotting was a masterpiece so I have been very wary in case it ruins the memories of the first for me.

Need to watch the New Red Dwarf feature length episode and catch up with Killing Eve as well, although I wish it was now 'I'm So Glad I Killed That Bloody Annoying Eve' instead so that Villanelle could go and do something more interesting.

This was truly spectacular viewing, I posted several articles on Hubble in the Astronomy thread that no one ever reads!
