Actually, I never go to see them. I just see them along the road or from the train.

There must be a pristine print somewhere.

Where do you plan on viewing them?

I have no idea :) I haven’t been paying attention. I’m in front of a computer so much of the time that I’d disintegrate if I went out in the sun! Just checked online - peak will be March 26-31.

I’ve seen loads of different prints of this film, none were above okay standard. How is the bluray?

昨日、私は学校への袴の導入とそれが引き起こした論争に関する興味深い展示会に行ってきました。

I can barely remember anything except for the bad taste it left. Linda Carter should have had more screen time.

Agreed, great costume.

Flawed, but surprising enjoyable, unlike the awful sequel.

The only thing that throws me is Tom Baker without his long curly hair. A pity he didn’t do more Holmes.

Tom Baker, my favourite Dr. Who, was rather splendid as Sherlock Holmes in the 1982 adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Which woman had the biggest influence in his worldview?

Director James Whale rests his arm on the shoulder of Boris Karloff in full Bride of Frankenstein monster costume and makeup.

I love re-reading a book I last read 30 years ago, with no memory of it, and discovering it is fantastic. I can't leave it another 30 years - I won't be here!

I’ve never had a kindle. My love of physical books is too strong.

I have a big TV, but I’m often disappointed with blurays of some older films. I guess that’s down to the mastering and condition of source material rather than the format itself.

I have them on DVD. How much better are the blurays?

I'm in the editing stage of my latest book. In The Ghost Hours is a collection of my gothic poetry focusing on death, loss, and hauntings.

A Jeffery Coombs double-bill tonight. I introduced my son to the not very good From Beyond. He then totally trashed me by introducing me to the appalling Faust, Love of the Damned. What a night!

Rime Of The Ancient Mariner (HD upscale, Illustrations by Gustave Doré, Narration by Orson Welles) YouTube video by Mike Young

Orson Welles is the perfect narrator for this excellent adaptation of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, which uses Gustave Doré's illustrations to great effect.

Hammer were at their best with black and white sci-fi. Although Quatermass and the Pit is fantastic.
