The Wolf Man (1941) d. George Waggner After my visit to the cinema on Tuesday I've decided to watch a few more 'werewolf' films over the next few days; accompanied of course by my go to book on the subject by Craig Ian Mann 🐺

She-Wolf of London (1946) d. Jean Yarbrough #Lycanthropy 🐺

Werewolf of London (1935) d. Stuart Walker Pre-dates The Wolfman with Lon Chaney Jr. by six years and in my opinion is the better film...🐺

Hollywood legend Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa found dead, US police say bbc.in/4kjf09r

Great weekend at Chaos Theory Festival in Camden. Saw my beloved Underdark and also managed to fit in a couple of films. Twiggy was present at the showing of the doc.

Robot Monster (1953) Phil Tucker I'm very fond of this film and now I have a nice new blu-ray with a 3D option! Having only ever seen it in 2D I must say I was impressed. Who couldn't love a fellow in a gorilla suit, wearing a goldfish bowl on his head, in 'Three Dimension'?

Passes for FrightFest secured… I knew my lucky bear wouldn’t let me down! 😊
