A Haunting We Will Go

On October 31st. Here’s how it works, for anybody who hasn’t partaken. We all get ahold of Robert Wise’s THE HAUNTING, and watch it sometime before Halloween. Then, on the day itself I post a piece about the film, one of the greatest ghost stories — or is it? — of all time. And everybody has a nice chat. Just the thing to get you in the mood for All Hallows Eve itself.

THE HAUNTING (original version) is available on Amazon UK very cheap and if you buy it via this link, I get a tiny percentage! In fact, if you follow this link to Amazon and buy ANYTHING, I get a tiny percentage.

Insect Aside

Lost and Found

Follow me over to the Auteurs’ Notebook for this week’s Forgotten flicker. This being a very busy — and strange — week, what with three lectures to give, tutorials, a screening of A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH, and an unexpected punch in the face from a teenage asshole in the street, I wasn’t sure if I’d get a column written in time, but I’ve managed a particularly modest effort.
