7 - What Happened to Dorothy Bell? (2024) Found-footage supernatural mystery. #100HorrorMoviesin92Days #HorrorSky #FoundFootage
6 - Send Help (2026) A fun watch with signature Sam Raimi dark humour. Rachel McAdams is great. Sone of the CGI is a little off and jarring though. #100HorrorMoviesin92Days #HorrorSky
5 - The House by the Cemetery (1981) Intense zoom-in and close-up on the eyes, now, deploy the rubber bat! The final part of Fulci’s Gates of Hell trilogy. A kind of supernatural slasher with some unintended comedy moments. #100HorrorMoviesin92Days #HorrorSky
4 - Heresy (2024) Short (1 hour 1 minute) but very atmospheric Dutch Folk Horror. #100HorrorMoviesin92Days #HorrorSky #FolkHorror
3 - Primate (2025) “I hate every ape I see, from Chimpan A to Chimpanzee…” Good film that includes Deaf actor Troy Kotsur and effective and inclusive use of sign and non-verbal languages. #100horrormoviesin92days #HorrorSky
2 - Whistle (2025) An American High School teenager take on M.R James’ “Oh Whistle, and I’ll come to you, My Lad” (Bonus points for the references to #rancid and #ironmaiden ) 🤘 #100horrormoviesin92days #HorrorSky
Horror and countdown to Halloween time! This will be my #100HorrorMoviesin92Days thread. For more information about the challenge check out @spookysarahsays.bsky.social 1 - The Toxic Avenger Unrated (2023) - Fun, horror-comedy silliness. A perfect start to this year’s challenge! #HorrorSky
Sunny day = Suspiria T Shirt. I love Suspiria 1977 and 2018 and think they are both great films. #HorrorSky
Currently reading: Lynch on Lynch. It’s fantastic. #BookSky #DavidLynch #FilmSky
Binge re-watching the Evil Dead trilogy to get ready for the release of Evil Dead Burn later this week 🔥 #HorrorSky #EvilDead #EvilDeadBurn
In an ambitious (but probably misguided) attempt to embrace technology and social media I am now on Instagram. Please join me for even more spooky/horror/academic/writing shenanigans 😁 #horrorsky #writers www.instagram.com/drdarrengray...
At a Seed Talks ‘The History of Folk Horror’ lecture this evening! Very exciting! #HorrorSky #FolkHorror
It’s such lovely weather I’ve decided to spend the morning at the beach. Delightful 😁☀️ #Filey
Just finishing up the PowerPoint for my presentation at Horror Studies Now 2026 at Northumbria University in a few days! I love this conference and I am very excited to catch up with and meet new #HorrorStudies friends. @horrorstudies.bsky.social #HorrorSky #HorrorNU
At the cinema ready to see IRON MAIDEN: BURNING AMBITION (2026) Let’s rock! 🤘🤘 #IronMaiden #IronMaidenBurningAmbition #HeavyMetal
I love this chapter title! 🤣 The book is A History of Heavy Metal (2017) by Andrew O Neill and it is awesome! #BookSky #HeavyMetal #Metal
It’s May 1st. So I will be enjoying my annual tradition of checking in on how those folks on Summerisle celebrate May Day and watching Edward Woodward keep his appointment with The Wicker Man 🔥 #HorrorSky
Not only is it a beautiful Friday afternoon but the new issue of @helleborezine.bsky.social has arrived! I’m going to set myself down in the garden with a cold drink and get reading. Perfect start to the weekend 😁
Spent most of my Sunday tackling a big pile of ironing. Decided to put Ghost: Rite Here Rite Now (2024) on to keep me motivated and the time flew by, awesome live concert🤘🏻💀🤘🏻 #ThebandGhost #RiteHereRiteNow #metal
I love the In Search of Darkness series of #horror deep dive documentaries. I have been watching the most recent one, In Search of Darkness 1995-1999 (2025) over the past few days (it’s over 6 hours long) and it is another triumph! Loved it! #horrorsky
Not my usual genre but I am sat down at the cinema and ready to see THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE (2026). Let’s a go!
Currently in lovely Paris for a break, so I went for a morning walk to see and pay my respects to Oscar Wilde. #OscarWilde
Decided to give Dario Argento’s DEEP RED (1975) a long overdue rewatch. It’s great and I’d forgotten how integral Goblin’s soundtrack is to the film’s strange atmosphere. #HorrorSky #FilmSky
I’ve just watched (the superbly titled) HUMANIST VAMPIRE SEEKING CONSENTING SUICIDAL PERSON (2023) and what an absolute delight it was! Excellent feature film debut and mix of comedy, horror and drama from Ariane Louis-Seize. I loved it! #HorrorSky #Vampires #FilmSky
Today is World Down Syndrome Day. If you are a #Horror fan I highly recommend you check out Otto Baxter. His short horror directorial debut, The Puppet Asylum (2023) and the documentary about his life, Otto Baxter: Not a Fxxxing Horror Story are excellent 😁 #HorrorSky #WorldDownSyndromeDay
Happy 83rd birthday to the absolute legend that is David Cronenberg! #Horror #horrorsky #davidcronenberg
Just watched DRACULA: A LOVE TALE (2025). It’s worth a watch but it’s a very mixed bag. Some truly bizarre choices. It’s like a take on Coppola’s Dracula via Perfume with a passing nod to Subspecies. #HorrorSky #vampires #dracula
