We are back and this time we are sliding back to 1983 with a couple of chillers.  The ever strange 'Videodrome' and Disney's 'Something Wicked This Way Comes'  Oh, and all the usual nonsense..

It oooks like AI has a little way to go yet, it wrote this!!

What if you could experience the thrill of a Stephen King novel adapted into a movie, right in your living room? Well, strap in as we take you on a rollercoaster ride through the foggy world of film, where classic horror meets AI innovation. We pull back the curtain on the eeriness of Salem's Lot and even the uncomfortable reality of AI potentially replacing a deceased loved one. We promise, your idea of "creepy" will never be the same again!

Ever wondered what a fusion of humans, insects, and animals would look like on the big screen? Prepare for the unexpected as we delve into our movie picks, from the unexpected plot of Barbie to the mind-bending Fight Club and The Divide. Our showstopper is the Japanese film Shin Masked Rider - a riveting tale of extraordinary hybrids powered by an intriguing substance called Piranha. We also sprinkle in a dash of comedy with Murder Mystery 2 and bring you the chilling exorcism rituals depicted in films. Trust us, you'll leave with a list of must-watch films!

Lastly, we take a cinematic journey back in time, exploring the mesmerizing world of Sergio Leone's classic western movie, Once Upon a Time in the West. We break down the film's themes, storylines, and draw comparisons to other silent protagonist films. From analyzing the iconic cold open, Leone's framing of shots, to the use of music in storytelling, we leave no stone unturned. And to wrap up, we brainstorm on our top Halloween film suggestions. So, gear up for a spooktacular movie night this season. Grab your popcorn, and let's illuminate the fog of film together!

It's that time of year again, so we picked a film that our potential match must appreciate if we are  to commit the rest of our lives to.  I chose ‘Love Story' which would make anyone run for the hills and Laurie chose 'Harold and Maude' which would also make them run for the hills.
 
They may not be worthy of a first date, but they are both awesome movies. Listen to us gush about  them.
 
Oh and Wyndham does his love shizzle...
