Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The ceremony of innocence is drowned; Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! —… The post The Ultimate Halloween Watch 2026 appeared first on The Time Bum.

After two packed days, we’re back to just the one recording today, starting with the end of Deadly 60 Bites. There’s a trail for The Sarah Jane Adventures. Plus a trail for Trapped: Ever After. Then it’s The Sarah Jane Adventures – The Vault of Secrets, Part 1. It looks like I’ve not got the whole series recorded. This is the second story. A young woman is looking for something, and seems to have alien technology. She’s found by some men who seem to be cosplaying as Agent Smith from the Matrix.…

“a Phil Falcone production” – not the disgraced hedge fund billionaire, but the auteur of a PTSD army drama with Tom Sizemore, and defendant of finance disputes over the first movie in this series. Home-invader Santa carrying an axe is nothing new. “Five years prior” cop finds a decapitated clown in abandoned building, it kills him and takes his head, so the backstory is… Art in various forms of headlessness and disrepair tears some people apart to repair himself?

Review for Silent Hill: Homecoming, published by Konami in 2008.

New, from Radiance, and direct to my door today, owing to the fact that I contributed a text essay to the booklet — FANTASTIQUE! I first told you about this one when it was announced. A box set comprising six feature films: DANS LA NUIT, directed by crumbly character actor Charles Vanel. Marcel L’Herbier’s LA […]

Review of Wildwood (movie, 2026), directed by Travis Knight ★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5 Wildwood was a really fun movie. I've seen most of the LAIKA movies and have been seeing trailers for Wildwood on most movies over the last few months, but I wasn't sure how much I'd like it. The premise is that a girl in Portland is watching her baby brother when a murder of crows literally pick him up and carry him off into the aptly named Impenetrable Woods. She then sets off to rescue him. There are…

Chickens are homely animals and they don’t really need much out of life – but when their cosy coop is in danger, they will fight for their territory tooth and nail. So, these chickens do just that when the nearby nuclear reactor goes badly, badly wrong and contaminates the local area with its radiation. You can probably see what is coming from the title, so sit back and enjoy this animated romp. Atomic Chicken was created by a number of students at Ecole des Nouvelles Images in France, namely…

During my early research into the production of Twin Peaks: The Return, I quickly learned the crew occasionally used stock video assets for various establishing shots. This is best seen with Diane Evans’ apartment exterior or the FBI Jet flying to Buckhorn. They also used stock photo to create things like the Rancho Rosa Estates...

Back to September. All of these were part of the Super Saturday Movie Club, whose monthly theme this time was Halloween, comprising movies #42 to #46. Oct 3 - Suspiria (1977)Watched it for the first time on Wednesday, April 8, 2020, and was blown away. This time around I was a bit less wowed by the colours and oneirism, but it's still a hell of a movie. Now that I have seen quite a few more movies I can see just how scrappy and sorta shoddy the production is; this could have been a shitty…

I love Roseanne. Roseanne Conner, that is. From the original run of ABC's Roseanne. Okay, from the first eight seasons max.I also love a good ol' sitcom Halloween special, and I think we'd all be lying if we said Roseanne's were not the Greatest of All Time. So, what else am I to do this October than watch and rank them all for your reading pleasure?I will be going through each of Roseanne's Halloween episodes and ranking them by Halloweeniness (rating out of five jack-o-lanterns). Oh, and I'm…

Defense worker Daniel Ellsberg seeks to publish a series of classified government documents detailing the true nature of America’s involvement in the Vietnam War.

I’ve always been a sucker for horror where the thing the person’s life is built around is forever ruined. In this case the bro is an actor and his good looks are kinda destroyed. Thought it would be a lot worse in terms of body horror but aside from surgery scenes it is all done almost comically. It was such a fun movie to watch though. There are stakes but not much portrayal of psychological trauma. Probably the funnest DC cinematic universe movie I’ve ever watched. Also I don’t know if I’m…

Who are you, and what do you do? Jim Capobianco. I mainly work in animation. Writing, directing. I’ve done some voice work too. I went to school to learn the craft of animation in 1987. Whoa, that’s a long time ago. Shit. It pains me to write that year down but that’s when it was. I went to the California Institute of the Arts or as it is more simply called - CalArts. Incidentally, that school was the last big project Walt Disney had a hand in creating. That’s pretty neat, the Obi Wan, the dean…

MARKED WOMAN (1937) is a terrific exemplar of '30s Warner Bros. style, featuring an excellent cast in a gritty crime drama.As the movie begins, crime boss Johnny Vanning (Eduardo Ciannelli) has taken over a nightclub which is actually a clip joint, taking customers for as much money as possible through highly questionable means.The club's "hostesses," including Mary (Bette Davis), are expected to help lighten the guests' wallets and must also turn over some of their tips in return for…

Damn I love Midnight Mass. What a miniseries. every time I watch it, I end up thinking about it for the rest of the year. And the more times I watch it, the more things I catch. It really does reward rewatches. www.netflix.com/title/810…

Harry Houdini, magician, escape artist and obsessed with talking with his dead mother and in pursuit thereof, debunked hundreds of spiritualists and mediums, died exactly 100 years ago today … Hallowe'en! So, to learn more about his death, and celebrate it with one of his favorite desserts, bread and butter custard, you might want to watch “The Mysterious Death of Harry Houdini.” Happy Hallowe'en, everybody!

It’s Halloween in Reykjavík! I've only been here a couple of days and I’ve already managed to see some Icelandic theatre. Nýtt eldhús eftir máli (A New Custom-Made Kitchen) A play by Friðgeir Einarsson, directed by Bjorn Thors Daníel (Hilmar Guðjónsson) is married to Soffía (Ilmur Kristjánsdóttir)… He manages the household with passion—something we witness the moment we enter the

When I heard the news that Patrick Stewart died, I started thinking about one of my favourite episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 5, episode 25: “The Inner Light”. In that episode, Captain Picard is struck unconscious by an energy beam from an alien probe which embroils Picard’s mind into experiencing the complete life of a alien man and his doomed civilization in the span of 25 minutes. The YouTube channel Art of Storytelling provides a fantastic review of this remarkable…

As longtime readers may be aware, the original version of ANGEL AND THE BADMAN (1947) is not just my favorite John Wayne film, it's high on my list of all-time favorite movies.Wayne played gunslinger Quirt Evans, reformed by the love of a Quaker girl, Penny Worth (Gail Russell). Wayne's longtime friend Bruce Cabot played the villain, Laredo Stevens, with Harry Carey Sr. as Marshal McClintock and Lee Dixon as Quirt's friend Randy.In 2009 a TV remake aired on the Hallmark Channel which costarred…

Pretty good remake of the pretty good 1960 movie, which is to say it’s a terribly disappointing followup to In the Mouth of Madness. At 10:00AM during the harvest festival everyone in town passes out, and a few hours later the women wake up pregnant. This movie’s major update is that in the 1990s you can say the word pregnant. Carpenter couldn’t help himself: Killer Jedi Priest: Kirstie in her evil boardroom: Epidemiologist Kirstie Alley arrives from the government and offers to pay all the…

Kate Mulgrew posted this touching tribute to Sir Patrick Stewart on social media today. He passed yesterday and is best known for his role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and associated shows. Fun fact, Patrick Stewart and share the same birthday. Ms. Mulgrew is much more articulate than me; this is eloquently stated.

It’s day two of the Star Trek weekend on Film Four. Can I start by saying that, only days after I wrote this entry, I’ve heard the awful news that Patrick Stewart has died. After Walter Koenig, it looks like the curse of the blog is back in force. I’m so very, very sorry. Back to the recordings. First, Leonard Nimoy introduces Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. I know a lot of fans really love The Undiscovered Country, but watching it again, for some reason, I just wasn’t feeling it as…

While Halloween episodes were fairly common on television sitcoms of the Fifties and Sixties, they were rare in comparison on dramas. An exception to this rule was the Perry Mason episode "The Case of the Dodging Domino." It aired on November 1, 1962, and Halloween was front and centre in the episode."The Case of the Dodging Domino" centres on college professor Damion White (David Hedison), who has taken credit for a melody that he didn't write, "Pearls and Jade." The actual writer of the tune…

Lost for over four decades, the intense feature A Page of Madness (1926) has a rather unique rediscovery story. While many lost films have turned up in random old theaters, attics, and even barns, a print of this Japanese feature … Continue reading →

A strange coincidence occurred in my viewing habits this spooky season. I had the opportunity to see FW Murnau’s Nosferatu screened with live orchestral accompaniment and then the next day on Criterion Channel, scrolling through the late David Bordwell’s video series Observations on Film Art, I came across an episode on Vampyr, Danish director Carl Dreyer’s take on the vampire mythos. All this prompted me to rewatch Vampyr, which I had not seen in about ten years. A critical and commercial…

As the calendar flips from Spooky Season to Noirvember, it looks like Netflix is making an unusually hard push to get their awards contenders in theaters this year, even seeming to play nice with AMC! John Turturro plays The Only Living Pickpocket in New York in a lean-looking crime caper that also features Steve Buscemi, Tatiana Maslany, and Giancarlo Esposito. It's at the Somerville, the
