Pete Walker week! Also watched The Comeback (1978) 3.5/5. I already knew I loved House Of Long Shadows (1983), but turns out Pete Walker productions are 100% my bag.
He also has the most wholesome pic on his wiki of him and his dog, so I love him even more.

Husband quote of day “What are they going to do? A pigeon is at least four times bigger than a sausage roll.”
I was amazed by how much I enjoyed it. I’d heard it was a good adaption, but they’re so often ‘mid’. Grew up loving/being traumatised by King books, so always a little cautious watching the adaptations.
Thinner is next up on my list as somehow haven’t see that either!
hey #horrorsky and #booksky, there's a humble bundle going on with a shitload of horror anthologies curated by ellen datlow. hundreds of short stories for tiny money 😎

Finally got around to seeing Pet Semetary (1989). I know, I know…! Although missing a key plot point from the book, it still managed to be 80s King dark af, so really enjoyed it.
I also recommend The Appointment (1982) for an utterly wild car crash scene.

Yep. I cried. Twice. 🥲
Humans do some great things sometimes.
I nearly had such a great, accidentally themed, last four: Blood Bath (1966), Blade (1998), Blade II (2002), and Countess Dracula (1966), but forgot what day of the week I was on, so have ended up with this weird combo instead 😅

A classic I should’ve seen, a classic I kind of wish I hadn’t seen, a newbie everyone should see, and a Hammer I was surprisingly glad to have seen.

just me and the big screen 🧡
Book cover of 14 by Peter Clines, featuring a close-up of a worn metal door secured with a padlock and latch, with the number “14” in large metallic numerals; tagline at top reads “A riveting apocalyptic mystery in the style of LOST.”
Vintage paperback cover of Rogue Moon by Algis Budrys, showing a cracked dark background with neon-like outlines of a suited figure and abstract shapes, including a glowing sphere and a human silhouette; text describes a man dying and being reborn to travel to the moon.
Worn red leather book titled Everybody’s Guide to Conjuring, with gold lettering and a small ornate hot air balloon emblem in the center; publisher listed as Madgwick, Houlston & Co., Limited.
The book collection grows. This time with a tiny pre-1900 book on magic tricks, a 1960 signed first edition of Rogue Moon by Algis Budrys, and the out of print 14 by Peter Clines.
Rogue Moon and 14 are my favourite sci-fi mystery books of all time and I’ve coveted copies for years.

I can’t touch pork and honestly, that looks so good that I’d risk it!
Some damn good watches this week. Only bonus to a week of (still) being laid up with food poisoning…
No Other Choice (2025) was criminally overlooked for awards season.

I could talk about how Rituals (1977) was a surprisingly high brow Deliverance-esque proto-slasher, but really I just came here to say that Resident Evil (2002) rules.

Found Utopia on Tubi, thanks! Will give it a watch 😁
I’m got about halfway through Dark and then stopped (no idea why!) and now fear going back without the help of a spreadsheet 😂 I should finish it tho as it was amazing. 1899 was pretty great too. Utopia I know nothing about so will take a look, ta!
All 11 series and both films of the X Files re-consumed since New Year. What do I do with my life now without my beloved Mulder and Scully?
Vintage paperback cover of The Sentinel by Jeffrey Konvitz. The dark cover features a stern older priest with a pin driven through his head, and above him an oval portrait of a glowing-eyed demonic face. A yellow sticker reads “Now a terrifying movie from Universal!”
The inside cover spread of The Sentinel paperback showing a group of eerie, pale figures with glowing eyes reaching toward the viewer in a dark hallway. Large yellow text reads “The Sentinel by Jeffrey Konvitz,” with a tagline referencing Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist.
I have no space for books. So I bought another book.
This has the absolute coolest f***ing cover so I had to have it.

Heading into season 10 of The X-Files but also squidged in some moooovies.
Angel (1984) weirdly wholesome with its found family storyline? 🤣
Kind Hearts And Coronets (1949) fabulous, engaging, total comfort film.

The only known footage of Margaret Murray (1863 - 1963), the archaeologist and folklorist who penned The Witch-Cult in Western Europe (1921).
Lifepod (1981) had so many good ideas, so sad it was just boring. Made for a good rabbit warren on the actors’ wider careers however.
Luckily I thoroughly enjoyed finishing season 8 of the X Files throughout the week. Agents Doggett and Reyes are great!

One week later and I’ve nearly reached season 8 of The X Files, but still made time for films. Somehow.
I can see why some (lots?) hated Megalopolis (2024), but I found a lot to enjoy and would recommend braving it. Some excellent one liners.

I reached season 6 of the X-Files, so the time came to re-watch the first movie. I remember not enjoying it, despite having seen it multiple times, so binge watching must’ve helped.
Also, BlacKkKlansman (2018) *chef’s kiss*

Yes! Some of the jokes were crackers. “You can’t fight City Hall.” “yeah, it’s a building”.
