Carrie is a chilling remake of Stephen King's horror classic that leans into modern social media fears on Prime Video! #Carrie
Diablo IV doesn't hold back on the body horror à la Resident Evil!
Happy James Bond Day to those who celebrate! On Her Majesty's Secret Service (OHMSS) remains my all-time favourite instalment! I'll never forget watching a rerun on ITV and playing with Action Man/Action Force toys in the early eighties! #JamesBond
Spooky season continues with Doctor Who: Horror of Fang Rock! The TARDIS team is trapped inside a confined space (a lighthouse) and stalked by a shapeshifting alien, a recurring theme in many of my favourite scary stories! #DoctorWho
Watching Multi-Coloured Saturdays on BBC iPlayer! I never managed to phone through to Swap Shop to speak to Tom Baker (Doctor Who) or Noel Edmunds to swap something (no idea what) for Big Trak!
50 years ago, Multi-Coloured Swap Shop! Every Saturday, I would tune in to see the stars of Doctor Who, Star Wars and many more meet Posh Paws! Happy Fri-yay!
An annual flu vaccination achievement unlocked! As always, my arm feels like a wookie pulled it out of its socket and a lightsaber glanced off it!
And like that, it's October! The spooky season and the anniversary of a life-changing childhood trauma.
Fish & Chips with mushy peas for tea, and watching a classic Doctor Who serial on BBC iPlayer! #DoctorWho
It’s the autumn equinox in the northern hemisphere! Bats, hornets and spiders in the garden herald the spooky season.
I'm seeing more websites swamped with ads! While ads are increasingly a primary revenue stream, they make navigation and reading difficult, if not impossible, without an ad blocker.
Doctor Who is for all seasons, but for me it’s synonymous with the darker days of autumn! Rewatching Attack of the Cybermen after picking up a sealed copy of the limited edition season 22 Blu-ray box set for a fair price! This Whovian had a teenage crush on Peri! #DoctorWho
The Doctor Who invitation to tender is out! Who would you like to see produce the next season for transmission in 2028/2029? I'll start with HBO Max! #DoctorWho
Reading is integral to critical thinking and our mental health! Doomscrolling affects us all to varying degrees, and I've reduced my social media footprint and am blogging more.
I'm enjoying rewatching Tobe Hooper's horror movies on Tubi! #Tubi
