For the past 2 years I've done an #OctoberHorror marathon – spooky films every day up to #Halloween. Sadly my partner died recently and I'll be undergoing chemotherapy for my own cancer through the month ... but still planning to pack in a few choice horror flicks along the way.
@FolknHell I had a vivid memory from childhood of that terrifying zoom down through the hole in the maze map to the reveal of the scary face. I'd been trying to identify where it was from for literally years until finding out about this film just a few weeks ago.
Currently watching 2001: A Space Odyssey on Amazon Prime and honestly can't believe they inserted a two-and-a-half-minute ad break right in the middle of the iconic match cut.
@LeeAndersonMP_ My partner was on PIP for the last four months of her life after being diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. The great unwashed? Burn in hell, you worthless cunt.
@esjesjesj This will only make sense to folk of certain age and nationalities ... but real ones do acknowledge that Monkey WAS born from an egg on a mountain top.

@jai_une_ame @53A7713173@modredcastleton To be fair it's there in the movie:
"You, uniquely, were the one we needed."
"A man who would come here of his own free will."
"A man who has come here with the power of a king by representing the law."
"A man who would come here as a virgin."
"A man who has come here as a fool."
@BenjiNaesen Although I will take issue with "you can’t just leave out a vital word in the sentence..." Of course you can, it's a fundemental part of how we use language every day. See https://t.co/j3hAzp5xYx
@BenjiNaesen I was about to wade in with a full-throated defence of the British usage, but came across this interesting note in my (admittedly slightly dated) copy of New Hart's Rules:
@Harris94Vinnie I'm currently working my way through this set: https://t.co/HCf7pgIPkL. If you're not bothered about 4K it's still good quality and packed with commentaries and extras. Currently £64 on Amazon, but I got it on sale last year for just £35, so you might be able to find a good deal.
@TheGhostHost I've lived in and near other places with interesting tales of legends, cryptids and hauntings, including the Gorbals Vampire (https://t.co/SZYM6XrlRC), the Lambton Worm (https://t.co/iOiIhAlKZ5) and the Cauld Lad of Hylton (https://t.co/ysyqozgIDm).
@TheGhostHost Port Glasgow in the west of Scotland has various stories about this, the Boglestone ... "by worldly priest abhorred". One version said that if you failed to show respect when passing the stone you would be chased and haunted by the bogle (a spirit or imp) that lived there.
