Today marks the birthday of Donald Pleasence. He's likely most famous to most of us today as Dr. Loomis in the HALLOWEEN series, though there's much more of his work to savor. 🎃🥳🎃 dailygrindhouse.com/thewire/…
Here is Donald Pleasence in PHENOMENA aka CREEPERS, sharing the screen with one of his co-stars: goo.gl/P4Bfim 🥳🐵💀
Released in 1990 on this date in furious-baboon history... SHAKMA! Say it loud... SHAKMA!!! Starring Amanda Wyss, Ari Meyers, and Roddy McDowall! SHAKMA! Our pal McBeardo once named it one of the weirdest monkey movies ever made! SHAKMA! SHAKMA!!! dailygrindhouse.com/thewire/… 🐒😡🔥
“Weather patrol tells us it’ll probably hit 110 before nightfall. As for the good news: there is no fucking good news!” The post-punk post-apocalypse classic HARDWARE was released in the UK on this date in 1990! 🤖💀🇺🇸 goo.gl/0ghTLp
Released on this date in 1972… the terrifying NIGHT OF THE LEPUS, starring Janet Leigh, Stuart Whitman, Rory Calhoun, and DeForest Kelley! What is a “lepus,” you ask? Boy, if only we could keep this one a secret so you could go in blind… 🐰😉🐰 youtu.be/AA910vCNRe4?is=sELy…
BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING opened on October 3, 1965. Directed by Otto Preminger (ANATOMY OF A MURDER), it starred Carol Lynley (THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE), Keir Dullea (2001), Sir Laurence Olivier, and Noël Coward. Such an eerie and unusual movie. 🧸 dailygrindhouse.com/thewire/…
holy lord 😮
Tonight’s double feature is a MAJOR one: At the @AcademyMuseum for screenings of Escape From New York and Escape From LA + a Q&A with John Carpenter & Kurt Russell.

THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE was released in Austin, TX on October 1st in 1974. It’s one of the great American films, in any genre. Here’s DG’s tribute: goo.gl/6wrbjp 🪚
Released in 1968 in Pittsburgh on this date in horror history... the original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, directed by George A. Romero, and starring the legendary Duane Jones! An essential horror film. Maybe even THE essential horror film. Words: bit.ly/1jOYxWg 🧟♂️🧟♀️🧟
This is terrific. Go read it! And see #TheFurious if you haven’t already!
I was originally meant to interview the great Xie Miao for this year’s @bigbadfilmfest. After a scheduling snafu, we had to pivot BUT, you can now read my conversation with him on my site. Another life highlight in a career full of them. Link in the next tweet.
One of the greatest of all time. Filmography filled with wonders.

Love to Tom Morrello & family. 🖤
Rest in peace to Sir Sam Neill, an unbelievable actor, one of our favorites ever, and an endless, tremendous delight in every appearance. It hurts so much to say goodbye. #RIP 🖤
Happy birthday to Clint Eastwood. “Icon” and “legend” are words that get thrown around easily, but they fit here. There is no filmography like this one. As a star, he is an icon and a legend. As a director, he’s a true artist. Thanks for the movies, Clint. patreon.com/posts/happy-birt…
Happy Birthday to Pam Grier! We love you. We wouldn’t exist without you. One of the great American movie stars. Fact. #PamGrier #legend #movies #birthday 😎🥳 patreon.com/dailygrindhouse
ANACONDA dropped from the trees into theaters on this day in 1997, starring the dream team of Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, and more. This is a can’t-miss B-picture in the most classical sense of the term. Wacky perfection. 🐍 dailygrindhouse.com/thewire/…
#RIP to action-movie royalty Chuck Norris. It is time, at last, for him to go up there and knock God on His ass. Go get Him, Chuck. dailygrindhouse.com/thewire/…
35mm! Highly recommended! demonsresume.wordpress.com/2…
