While I'm still trying to drum up interest in my 2nd book I'm already onto the next gig. Here's a visual clue as to what it is...

Ring author Koji Suzuki has died, age 68. I'm crushed by this, the early books in the Ring saga are some of my favourite books which obviously gifted us Ringu (1998) by Hideo Nakata.

The opening song they had for it sticks in your head, too. youtu.be/nkzjYB8fuos?si=GbwV…
Just unearthed this absolute 80s gem! 👁️⚡ TerrorVision on VHS never looked better. Who else grew up with this wild one?

Going through boxes in my loft and find this! I got it off ebay years ago. The Nightmares on Elm Street novel. Previously the property of Britwell Library in Slough. Only taken out twice, it seems...

It's been like this for years but my long closed local Blockbuster still has some branding up AND the sign from the prior video store it took over in 1991! I always marvel at it.

Unrepentant Cinema is a book about the horror films that even hardened horror fans struggle to cope with. So, be prepared for some f--ked up movies. You can buy it on Amazon UK: amzn.eu/d/0ioYYVMJ

It's finally arrived, the new Power Slam year book. I always enjoy getting these, they help complete my collection as I only started reading Power Slam in August 1998.

Rewatching A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child. I can take it or leave it, it's not the worst or the best Elm Street movie. The way the opening sequence is shot is unlike anything else in the franchise.

It's finally here, @Lightbulb_Films 4k release of Street Trash featuring me! An incredible release, loaded with extras and goodies inside the box. It has to be said I was losing my voice towards the end of the commentary! I guess I talk too much...
