73 years ago today, the BBC broadcast Nigel Kneale's The Quatermass Experiment. Sadly, only 2 episodes remain, with a fly crawling across the screen in episode 2. Luckily, a film version (The Quatermass Xperiment) in 1955, starring Brian Donlevy, survives to show us the full story.

Sad to hear of the passing of Sam Neill, who kept us entertained for many years in films such as The Omen III, Event Horizon, Jurassic Park, Possession and In the mouth of madness. Always seemed a very nice person, when the world needs more of them. RIP.

On this day, 8th June 1984, the Ghostbusters came to save the world! Thankfully, they did, as it became one of the most popular films of the 1980s, and what inspired me to become a ghost hunter! #horror #ghostbustersday #movies
RIP Anthony Head, we known for playing Giles in Buffy, numerous Coffee adverts and Frank N. Furter in the West End adaptation of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Luckily, sunshine doesn’t affect vampires on #WorldDraculaDay, but it's best to wear plenty of sunscreen, just in case. To cool everyone down, here are some foggy photos from our trip to Whitby. The sun did appear later, after I brought some fudge and a fridge magnet #Gothic #Horror #Vampire

"Good old Watson. The one fixed point in a changing age." RIP David Burke, who played Dr John Watson in Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett. Bringing humanity & humour, he will always be the one who really did “remarkably badly” in the The Solitary Cyclist, which remains one of my favourite stories.
