John Eastwood, great grandson of Edmund Blake - the 1st actor to play Dracula on stage, sent me this photo of my Bela Lugosi autographed postcard at the "Dracula Returns to Derby" exhibition marking the centenary of the 1st performance of Dracula on May 15, 1924. #Dracula #BelaLugosi #EdmundBlake
The Manster (also released as The Split) is a great American sci-fi/horror filmed in Japan. #TheManster #TheSplit #TheTwoHeadedKiller #双頭の殺人鬼, #SōtōnoSatsujinki #Cultmovies

Glorious visuals coupled with jaw-dropping amateurish dubbing make for a great mid-1960s Italian sci-fi extravaganza. youtu.be/MeCpOgTo2cE?... #1960asci-fi #Italiansciencefiction #sci-fimovies #Warbetweentheplanets #IDiafanoidiVengonodaMarte

And the award for the most mind-numbingly boring movie of the century goes to i'm thinking of ending things. I certainly was by the end of it! Don't be fooled by the trailer - only watch it if you hate yourself! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDTg... #boringmovies

The unending quest to watch every 1950s sci-fi movie continues. I'd rather watch the original black and white film, but the colourised version was a better quality print and actually looked really nice. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b36Z... #CreaturefromGalaxyX #Nightofthebloodbeast #1950sscifi

下北沢ではジェントリフィケーションが進み、かつての街の活気が失われつつあります。もはや、以前の面影はほとんど残っていません。東京全体もまた、同じ道をたどっているように感じられます。 The gentrification of Shimokitazawa is stripping it of its character. I don’t recognize it anymore. It feels as though all Tokyo is following the same path. #下北沢 #ジェントリフィケーション #Shimokitazawa #gentrification
I’ve just revisited Shivers for the first time since seeing it on VHS back in the stone age. What a great movie! Rabid coming up next! #Shivers #Davidcronenberg #barbarasteele #horrorfilms #paulhanpton #theycamefrimwithin #canadiancinema youtu.be/ZgWFzPQB8Z8?...

I’ve just had the great misfortune to sit through Shelby Oaks, the lamest excuse for a horror film I’ve seen in a long time. The dire trailer was a masterpiece compared to the film itself. A film to recommend to people you hate! www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-m1... #ShelbyOaks #Horrorfilms #Badfilms

I seem to be in a minority, but I loved Luc Besson's Dracula. Christoph Waltz was perhaps the fly in the ointment, but Caleb Landry Jones was magnificent. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hver... #Dracula #Dracula:ALoveTale #CalebLandryJones #LucBesson #ZoëBleu #ChristophWaltz #GothicCinema

Watched Robocop 2 for the 1st time in 30 years. Top points for great special effects & the skeleton of Elvis, but lousy direction and a muddled script. For pure escapist enjoyment, Robocop 3 is a better film. #Robocop #Robocop2 #80sfilms #80scinema #scifi #FrankMiller
I've read some dismissive reviews of this anthology, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Rather than horror, it's a voyage into the darker corners of the human psyche. 3 of the stories were dramatised for the excellent TV series of the same name. #booksky #anthology #Talesofunease #JohnBurke #Darkfiction
+++ Born On This Day, the 15th of September 1907, Fay Wray - King Kong (1933). +++ Dubbed the first 'Scream Queen'. After her death in 2004 aged 96, the lights of the Empire State Building were lowered in her honour. #FayWray #KingKong #OTD #ScreamQueen #RKO #MonsterMovie

I’ve always loved this book (and the radio and TV series - don’t mention that awful film), but this cover is dreadful.

Alternating my freetime between getting back into studying Japanese and reacquainting myself with the bass guitar I have neglected since coming to Japan. One activity is definitely more fun than the other! #bassguitar #Ibanez #Japanese #languagestudy #musicalinstrument #musicalinstrumentpractice
CDs I haven’t listened to in over 20 years #2: There’s no denying Cochran’s brilliance, but for every great song, there are too many record company-imposed lightweight variety show fodder tracks. #EddieCochran #CDs #music #rocknroll
CDs I haven’t listened to in over 20 years #1: The Ink Spots - Whispering Grass. A great compilation I had totally forgotten about. I must listen to their original albums. #TheInkSpots #CDs #music #1930smusic #1940smusic
