On my search for movie posters on the internet for my articles I come across a massive amount of fan made movie posters. Correction- I come across a massive amount of really good fan made movie posters. Heres a collection of the best I've seen so far (this could change as I stumble across more...) …
I often think about my love of cinema, where it began and the influences on it, both film-based and what was going on around me. I was born in February 1975. My arrival into the world coincides with the day on which Stephen Murphy, the BBFC's secretary, first saw a new independent film called The …
Another past event has just popped up in the Memories section of my Facebook account. Apparently, 15 years ago I was watching Halloween at the National Film Theatre.

I love it when I find the unexpected on the internet. Such as this merchandise that was made for the release of the brilliant horror film The Incredible Melting Man in 1977. Why on Earth would a film company commission a children's costume for a film that was rated for Adults Only?! Did they know …

I first discovered the documentary Who Took Johnny from Artforum magazine when John Waters named it as one of his Films of the Year for 2014. I found the trailer for it on YouTube and it REALLY freaked me out. Johnny Gosch was a 14 year old boy who went missing whilst delivering newspapers in …
I remember the Video Nasties furore like it was yesterday. With my father being an avid Daily Mail reader and staunch Thatcherite I felt like I had a front row seat with the then Tory government seeking to ban the very films I loved when they were released on video in the early 80's. I …
