Christopher Lee lends brutish physicality to his mummified menace for Hammers sumptuous shocker. Class. Handsomely mounted with thrills to spare. 1959. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #hammerhorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam
It's a rainy and breezy day here in Lancaster. Perfect Autumnal bargain-hunting weather. Let's see what blu rays, DVD's and books are out there just waiting to be found 😃
Art meets exploitation as witchcraft and folklore collide with 1970's Italian social commentary. An extraordinary cult curio with a terrific lead from Baker. 1973 #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #italianhorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam
Visually striking with gorgeous sets, top cast and ferociously evil Lee. Gloriously splashed in Kensington Gore, first class Hammer gothic. 1968. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #hammerhorror
Today's pick-up. Just finished series 2, so a quick return to the charming world of Bookish with Matthew Sweet's novelisation of the stories.
It may be over one hundred years old but the fabulous Lon Chaney still proves that when this world gets too loud, silence is golden. 1925. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #monsterfam #film
Enjoying this. “I’ll watch anything with a sense of dread,” says @jonpountney1.bsky.social. Same. Same.

A superbly orchestrated exercise in style from Brian de Palma. His first Hitchcock homage sets tightly crafted thrills to the hair-raising Herrmann score. 1972. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam
Kidnappers get more than they expected when their hideout is invaded by an alien temptress in a skintight catsuit. Cheaply cheerful with the Ed Wood touch. 1957. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam
Fantastic genre debut from Jack Arnold based on a Ray Bradbury story, an eerily haunting close encounter of the classic kind. 1953. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #classicscifi #scifi #film
Ken Russell's opium laced vision of the night Frankenstein was conceived may be divisive but it's a work of deliriously nightmarish genius. 1986. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #horror #film
Viy. 1967. Remarkable Soviet folk horror fantasy pulls you into a wondrous world of witches and demons. An astonishing dark masterpiece. Extraordinary. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam
The Haunting (1963) Directed by Robert Wise stars Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson, and Russ Tamblyn
Even the Wind is Afraid. 1968. Standout Mexican ghost story drenched in utterly chilling atmosphere and stunning visual style. A masterfully menacing gem. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #mexicanhorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam
Today's delivery. A supernatural/horror/comedy/thriller that you either love, or you've never heard of. Matthew Rhys brings haunted gravitas as a local mayor trying desperately to bring much-needed tourism to a town suffering from a centuries old curse.
If Agatha Christie wrote horror. Its guess the werewolf with a cool soundtrack and great cast plus the one thing we all need in life. A werewolf break. 1974. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam
We are trying everything to get Mr Big back on his paws. He's set off today to the big hospital where a series of tests and specialists are waiting for him. Keep him in your thoughts. We hope to have some answers tomorrow for this gentle older dog we love so much ❤️
Short Night of Glass Dolls. 1971. Sinister mystery told from the morgue with a jaw dropping final reel. Diabolically dark with twisted tension in spades. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #giallo #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #italianhorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam
What the fuck is wrong with dog owners round here. Another mutant muscle with a mouth and bad attitude attached just went for Torgo after it slipped its owner. Luckily I manged to just about get in the way and hold the beast off. This is the 4th time at least in as many months. Control your dogs!
Chaney may seem an unlikely choice but he acquits himself nicely. And with great support plus glorious sets and excellent effects its stylishly spooky fun. 1943. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam
Although small in size, it is mighty in detail. My first painting since March after having a bad mental health year... 🌿 The original is looking for a home & prints are here; www.the-inner-observer.com #illustration #gouacheart #cat
Equally luckless with the opposite sex Cushing creates a beautifully vengeful seductress, and she's a keeper. A soul swapping Hammer high. 1967. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #hammerhorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #classichorror
Tonight's watch. Ok, it's no Empire Strikes Back, but it's enormous fun and will go down a treat with pizza and beer.
Puberty hits hard in a frightful fusion of western and scifi horror. Admirably bad bunkum with a memorable Jack Pierce beast. They can't all be classic. 1957. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam
Yesterday I adopted the oldest, sickest, and sorest shelter dog. I'll never forget his eyes. When I went into the cage he didn't even bother to look, he knew I wouldn't even see him. ❤️❤️❤️
With a top cast, terrific atmosphere and the balance of horror and Hope spot on it's a creepy delight. And Sondergaard's in the house. Bonus. 1939. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #horror #film
Lugosi's in dastardly form as a wronged man out for deadly revenge with mutant bats. Poverty row perfection. A ghoulish high in lowbrow chills. 1940. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #belalugosi
