As I mentioned a few weeks back, it’s that time of year again when everything slows right down and the days sort of melt into each other. Time gets weird. Emails stop. The world collectively agrees to go half-speed. Like most people, I’m taking a breather and logging off for a bit, recharging, and thinking…

Hey Nightwalkers!It’s been quite the few weeks with some health issues, but that doesn’t mean the world of cinema has halted for me. While under the weather, I threw on Hans Arnold: Art of the Witchmaster, expecting a quirky doco about an eccentric illustrator, and instead got pulled straight into the mind of a bloke…

Alright, nightwalkers, it’s that time again—Noirevember’s rolled in. I’m kicking off a bit late this year ‘cause, honestly, I needed a breather after surviving 31 Days of Halloween. No shame in pacing yourself, right? This site’s always been about classic films first, trends second. The internet’s already stuffed with noir posts anyway—I’m not here to…

How are you, nightwalkers? Hope you all have had a fabulous week. This week, for me, has been less movie-centered and more focused on writing. I submitted a flash fiction and a short story for the Australasian Horror Writers Association’s The Robert N. Stephenson Flash Fiction & Short Story Competition, which is Australia’s leading unpublished…

I know that in the Sunday Brew, I said that I was going to focus on avant-garde movies, but I just had to put some thoughts down about this movie, as it’s not often that I do review new movies on the blog, so this is saying a lot. So many thoughts are going through…

The weeks after Halloween are always a bit flat. The buzz is gone, and I’m just trying to catch up with everything. I finally got around to finishing Cult-Tastic: Tales from the Trenches with Roger and Julie Corman, and it reminded me just how much influence these two had on the films I grew up…

During the 31 Days of Horror, we wandered into the strange, seductive world of giallo—those vividly stylised Italian murder mysteries that blur the line between art and nightmare. But what exactly is giallo? What does the word even mean? And what makes it so different from the usual slashers or psychological thrillers we’re used to?…

I’ve been sitting on this for a while, and while what I’m about to say might hit a nerve, it needs to be said. Every year in late October, someone rolls their eyes and grumbles that Halloween is “so American” or “not part of our culture.” To be honest, I’ve had just about a gutful…

This week, I dove deep into horror’s evolving language, tracing its origins, influences, and bold experiments across nearly a century. The goal wasn’t just to showcase the obvious classics but to unearth hidden gems—films that deserve attention but are often overlooked. Curating this list was no small task, and horror is subjective—I am only human.…

Watching classic/vintage horror films is a completely different kettle of fish. There’s a rhythm to them, a kind of creeping suspense that grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go. For me at least, there’s something almost magical about watching classic horror films—not the jump scares or the special effects, but the performance.…
