@Tuftenstein @TalkingPicsTV Cool.

OK, question for you guys. Which of these covers for RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD do you prefer? The original UK VHS artwork (left), or the US artwork (right)? I think you can guess which one I prefer 😉

@RealmofHorror The one in the left. UK.

@stevemaythe1st Recipient of the second best death in an Omen film.

A massive hit on the opening night of last years MAYHEM. On disc!!

On this day, March 9th, 1978, John Carpenter's ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 opened in London. The film had its first public screening in London at the 21st London Film Festival on December 1st, 1977 where it was a huge success.

@Carlos_Film @LaurenceRHarvey He’s not going to get invited to direct an opera, then?!

When I first watched WEAPONS, I was struck by how much it reminded me of the Mexican film AUNT ALEJANDRA (La Tía Alejandra) by Arturo Ripstein. It’s highly unlikely that Zach Cregger has ever seen it, since it’s not available in the U.S. but the similarities are fascinating. 1/3

First up for tonights viewing is a welcome rewatch of Jake West’s fantastic documentary about Cliff Twemlow.

On this day, February 24th, 1983, Sam Raimi's THE EVIL DEAD opened all over London. The FOH @ThePCCLondon was particularly spectacular. THE EVIL DEAD had premiered as BOOK OF THE DEAD in Detroit on October 15th, 1981. In August, 1982 (the re-titled) Evil Dead screened at the Edinburgh Film Festival. October 9th, 1982 the Scala screened it. November 12th, 1982 it screened at LFF. January 14th, 1983 is billed as its World Premiere in Glasgow.
