A Dutch blend of HALLOWEEN and THE FOG that makes for a terrific Yuletide horror film while also serving as a fun throwback to slasher films of old.

Mary Woronov! John Carradine! Warhol Superstars! An escaped convict! Creepy phone calls! Sad Xmas decorations in a depressing city hall! This movie has everything!

I usually save the eye-popping WHITE CHRISTMAS for later, but I always try to squeeze this one in at some point during the holiday rotation.

My deepest, darkest cinephile secret is that I’ve grown to love this movie slightly more than CITIZEN KANE, compromised ending and all. Long live Aunt Fanny!!!

Now watching - THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS (1942) D. Orson Welles

Breaking out the Orson Welles! A couple of these will be upgrade watches, and I’ve yet to see that unfinished film that was assembled and released on Netflix. So this’ll be an enjoyable jaunt.

Now watching - CITIZEN KANE (1941) D. Orson Welles

I can’t get into the proper holiday spirit until I watch these two French women beat the absolute hell out of each other on a Christmas Eve night.

Some photos I've taken over the years... 📸

Fun fact : The first photo is the Church of St Mary at Mistley Heath. Essex, UK. It's where Matthew Hopkins, The Witchfinder General was buried. I took a long trip there only to find out his grave was destroyed so couldn't pinpoint the exact spot 🤦

The next one in the Polanski stack is a movie I’ve curiously only ever seen once, so this will be a fun revisit.
