M3gan Film Review

I’ve always been a horror fan and within that genre is a niche area about creepy dolls. One of my favourite episodes of the old Black and White show The Twilight Zone features Talking Tina and the 1980’s saw Chucky who was possessed by an ancient evil demon. More recently Annabelle has strutted her stuff… Continue reading M3gan Film Review

Going back to the cinema after lockdown to watch The Unholy!

As everyone else has awaited the end of lockdown to go to the shops, pubs, eat out or simply to meet up with someone, for me I have been waiting 17 months to go to the cinema. I’ve always loved going to the cinema since my first outing to see Star Wars when I was… Continue reading Going back to the cinema after lockdown to watch The Unholy!

My latest ‘mini’ horror movie – Bad Dream?

It’s become something of a tradition for my friend and I to make a Halloween inspired video and I thought I would share this years effort. Bizarrely, whilst all the other young children would and still do watch cute shows, all of my favourite shows and films were adult historical/war, sci-fi and in horror and I… Continue reading My latest ‘mini’ horror movie – Bad Dream?

The Enfield Poltergeist

It’s Halloween time again and this year I’d like to tell you about one of the best documented and most irrefutable cases of otherworldly spookiness that shook London in the 1970’s and quickly came to be known as The Enfield Poltergeist. It centred around an otherwise unremarkable council semi-detached house in Green Street, Enfield, North London… Continue reading The Enfield Poltergeist

Today is a big day for me, I’m launching my new book on Kindle and Paperback formats! 101 Most Horrible Tortures In History takes a wry look at history, torture and bizarre punishments of times past and just a bit of the present so that we can thank our lucky stars that none of this is… Continue reading 101 Most Horrible Tortures In History (my new book!)

My latest news!

I hope this post find everyone well.  We’re already in mid-April and so far this year I haven’t posted any updates on what I’m doing and my various projects which superficially might give the impression that I’m rather busy. Actually I am rather busy with my blog, writing and my tours.  I don’t know about… Continue reading My latest news!

New Year, New Book – The Silence Fell

The Silence Fell

I don’t really set New Year Resolutions but 2014 seemed to be an ever increasingly good year both for my writing and for my guided tours business.  I spent much of the holiday period on mapping things out for the future; adding new tours to my official and partnered websites and thinking of ways to… Continue reading New Year, New Book – The Silence Fell

The Walking Dead

Last year I wrote a number of Halloween related posts but this year I thought instead that I would write a little about my current favourite TV show which is very apt for Halloween, The Walking Dead. I’m not sure why I have always liked horror as a genre, I remember watching my first modern horror… Continue reading The Walking Dead

Top Ten Haunted Places in the U.K.

Tomorrow I am going to re-post my Halloween post from last year as both it and my bonfire night articles are always very popular and many of my readers weren’t following me then but for today to get us into the Halloween mood I thought I would do an extra post today. I’ve always believed… Continue reading Top Ten Haunted Places in the U.K.

The Legend of Spring Heeled Jack

With Halloween just around the corner I thought I would share with you the legend of Spring Heeled Jack who was once infamous in Victorian times and yet is now largely forgotten. Early 19th Century London was a spooky and often dangerous place to be after dark and ghosts were often reported to follow and… Continue reading The Legend of Spring Heeled Jack
