Agh. A maestro of the horror genre from practically the first horror movie mag I ever found. Soon after saw him in Suspiria - the first of many. Unique and unforgettable.

Farewell, Udo.
Farewell Udo Kier, petulant vampire king. His bickering with Arno Juerging's manservant Anton in Blood for Dracula brings me so much joy...

The spooks hast gone live...
My uncle Trevor gave my dad a fresh block of driftwood from his caravan in Somerset, so you know what that means - more particularly cursed carved phantoms..!

Remembering The Horror Show! exhibition at Somerset House in 2022. GHOSTWATCH screening in a dark chamber. The puppet from POSSUM. A mask from KILL LIST. And my work from THE MEZZOTINT next to the severed heads of Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith. Magical. More spooky exhibitions, please..!

In the week I received from @raynewman.bsky.social a vanishingly rare original copy of Stewart Brayne's final work, Modern Buildings in Wessex, featuring the work of mysterious architect Hälmar Pölzig!! If you've read Ray's Municipal Gothic you'll know the score...

@slipperyjack.bsky.social mention of Kate Bush's sublime 'Hello Earth' and it's audible echoes of Herzog's NOSFERATU sent me down a very pleasurable rabbit hole...

Cor, now streaming on the BFI Player. Oppressive, glacially paced gloom, yes please and thank you 👍...
Film Time!
Revisited György Fehér's otherworldly rural crime saga TWILIGHT (1990). The unmistakable influence of Bela Tarr (credited as a consultant) in every frame - long methodical takes, ominous gloom... Heavy use of Kate Bush's 'Hello Earth', connecting the film to Herzog's Nosferatu, love it...

I’ve ordered a few things from Richard over the years and everything about them is a delight, even down to the packing material. I hesitated posting about this Professionally Defaced book because they are very limited and I didn’t want one of you weasels getting one before I ordered my own copy.

Ahead of Krampusnacht, the next batch of Professionally Defaced copies of Tales Accursed (going live on Friday) will include five gold leaf'd Krampus heads...

If you'll allow me a Friday Shop Plug, I've got a new lino print in my Summerisle Procession series, and copies of my spooky book defaced with Krampus heads and the like. Reposts extremely welcome (Christmas is coming, lads)...
