My non-film highlight of this year's FrightFest was buying the latest wonderful and weighty FAB Press book Starburst: The Complete Alan Jones Film Reviews 1977-2008 at the Odeon Leicester Square, where Alan Jones and Mark Kermode also signed my copy.

An addition to my film memorabilia collection is the 1948 US press book for I Wouldn’t Be In Your Shoes, based on the Cornell Woolrich short story, collected in the hardback edition of the same name. Here’s my UK edition and US poster. #CornellWoolrich
