I was so happy to chat about this wonderful b-movie vampire film with Vampire Videos. Enjoy.
John Frankenheimer's 1977 thriller, Black Sunday, is making its UK debut on Blu-ray today courtesy of Arrow @arrowvideo.bsky.social. Really pleased to have contributed to the extras on this release, along with Josh Nelson @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social & the mighty Barry Forshaw @barryf48.bsky.social.
The nice people at Substack create an image for me when I have a new newsletter. This time it is the glory that is Paul Newman getting upset about the lack of coffee. (If he reads my newsletter he will cheer up)
Than you Margot 👍

I bet I paid a lot more than you for my copy 🤣
Who do you think was best playing Sam Spade's wise secretary, Effie Perine? Una Merkel (1931), Lee Patrick (1941 & 1975) or Lurene Tuttle (1946-1951)? I say they're all a knockout!

Excellent choice. He is much more of a detective on radio, agreed!
We're celebrating The Adventures of Sam Spade at Fedora. But who is your favourite old time radio detective? Johnny Dollar, Philip Marlowe, Richard Diamond, Ellery Queen, The Fat Man, The Saint or ..?

Eureka's May titles have just been announced, all of them a total blast to work on: Buster Keaton's masterpiece The General on 4K UHD, an excellent and underseen outing for Inspector Maigret in Maurice Tourneur's Cécile is Dead and Frank Beyer's controversial Trace of Stones, one of DEFA's finest.
Really chuffed to have contributed to the forthcoming Cécile is Dead blu-ray release from Eureka Entertainment / Masters of Cinema with Martin Hall, Christine Leteux and Andrew Watts. And what a great cover by Sean Phillips too! eurekavideo.co.uk/movie/cecile...
Get your pipes and hats ready.... Cécile is Dead (1944) is coming to Blu-ray thanks to Eureka Entertainment's Masters of Cinema. More info: eurekavideo.co.uk/movie/cecile...

We looked back at the 2004 SALEM’S LOT miniseries. Does Rob Lowe’s Ben Mears hold up against the 1979 original, or is it a mid-2000s fever dream?
