Still knee deep in other folks’ entrails I feel that #Frightenby25 day five may be a bit frivolous.
This is secret code for “I want to give Young Frankenstein a spin”
16) Young Frankenstein
17) Ghostbusters
18) Ghostbusters II
WE GOT ONE!

The 4K transfer of Zombie Flesh Eaters is sublime.
I’ve had to grade Murder Rock harshly because the “dance” “instructors” can’t count to eight on the eight beat. Seven, eight, nine out of ten.
The Gates Of Hell will never not be brilliant. An unsurpassable two years work.

Well now.
Got my @arrowvideo.bsky.social 4K Zombie Flesh Eaters today. I’m down the fathomless Fulci hole now. Maybe Murder Rock later.
Definitely the Gates Of Hell tomorrow though.

And James Whale was just an auteur fucking genius. The only debate left now is precisely how much of a towering influence was he?
The most towering possible, I would suggest.

Island Of Lost Souls is one hundred and eleventy billion out of ten. No notes.
Laughton and Lugosi. Ride me sideways, they are astonishing.
A film I could never get tired of. There are astute interviews with Simon Callow and particularly Jonathan Rigby on this disc.

To date the greatest Doctor Moreau adaptation. And James fucking Whale.

The Masters Of Cinema steelbook edition of Island Of Lost Souls featuring Bela Lugosi in full makeup. A monochrome marvel.
Detail from the Universal box set of Invisible Man films. Claude Rains is the invisible man.
Day four of #Frightenby25 and we are going H.G. Wells mode. He’s not often thought of as a horror writer per se. Just the pioneer of every major SF genre ever.
But these are great:
9) Island Of Lost Souls (1932)
10) The Invisible Man (1933)

The Langoliers is tons of fun. Well cast and adroitly scripted.
I’ve had much worse three hour intervals just in the last fortnight.
