Well, the #sheffhorrorfest #celluloidscreams lineup looks great. I can't go, but I'm sure people will keep me in the loop. Enjoy the digital ticket scrum Saturday.
This is "Frankie Freako", an anarchic, small-creatures, puppet-heavy film with a late 80's/early 90's retro vibe.
"An incredibly charming, small-creature horror which serves as a worthy entry in it’s particular horror category."

Favourite @celluloidscreams.bsky.social features!
1. THE WAILING
2. THE PARAGON
3. THE RULE OF JENNY PIN
4. CHILDREN OF THE WICKER MAN
5. FREWAKAE
That's out of the new ones obviously. BLOOD AND BLACK LACE and PIECES remain two of my favourite films. #celluloidscreams
THE PARAGON is a winning mix of epic psychic warfare and bone dry New Zealand comedy. Amazing film #CelluloidScreams
I'm sure the new films will be great, but is it bad that the thing I'm most looking forward to at #CelluloidScreams today is 50-year-old Amicus anthology FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE?
Not sure how horror STEPPENWOLF was, but it was *bleak*. Plus you don't see many films from Kazakhstan do you? #CelluloidScreams
Mystery 35mm grindhouse film at #CelluloidScreams was PIECES. I think that watching that piece of shit at midnight, on the big screen, with that specific audience is one of the most joyous cinema experiences I've ever had.
Nearly wore my PIECES t-shirt today as well!
THE WAILING was entirely my jam. Background scares, viral curses, in Spanish. No notes #CelluloidScreams
MIRA filling the "depressing animated short" slot nicely #CelluloidScreams
CHILDREN OF THE WICKER MAN was genuinely moving, while offering a fresh perspective on one of my favourite films. Documentaries at film festivals are good. #CelluloidScreams
Trying out Tamper for breakfast #CelluloidScreams #Sheffield
I have gone home to watch Taskmaster. Bit knackered and it's going to be a long weekend. Enjoy BRIDE OF CHUCKY everyone #CelluloidScreams
MEAT PUPPET and FRANKIE FREAKO were are a fun, high energy start to the festival. Fun times #CelluloidScreams
The back of Astron-6's heads.

Complained about my seat, but by god I have leg room aplenty #CelluloidScreams
Panic as I can't find my #CelluloidScreams ticket and the staff struggled to find my pass. I'm in though!
Sheffield I am in you. Feels good to be back at the Showroom, not going to lie. #CelluloidScreams
I will probably regret going to the gym this morning when I fall fast asleep during BRIDE OF CHUCKY later #CelluloidScreams

"a carnivalesque tale of a clan sticking – and stitching – together in Depression-Era America": the Poser/Adams family’s latest outing WHERE THE DEVIL ROAMS (2023) screens 3.30pm at #CelluloidScreams. A tremendous, transgressive trip. Review for #SciFiNow www.scifinow.co.uk/events/where...

a trio of menacing alien clowns, with the middle one brandishing a brightly coloured plastic gun that is no toy...

Adored THE LEECH at #CelluloidScreams. Absolutely deranged & demented, just as I hoped. My rule of "If Jeremy Gardner is in it then it's going to be great" is still proving true.
Day 2 of #CelluloidScreams. Including 2 films that may well make it into my top 10 of the year - SOMETHING IN THE DIRT and THE HARBINGER. Both superb movies and very befitting of the world we live in today.
Trying to do a Top 3 of #CelluloidScreams is proving tricky as there's more than 3 in my top 3. So, here's my top 5 in the order they were shown (which might actually be my order of preference too).
