I love a good horror movie and thoroughly enjoying Mark Gattis's four part documentary on the History Of Horror ...from James Whale to Stephen King. The Brides Of Dracula was on last night and y'know what? Peter Cushing was a terrific actor! Although also last night BBC 4 replayed a docu on the history of British coal and Thatcher's battles with the NUM and Arthur Scargill. Van Helsing versus Dracula fought on the coalfields of the North in the eighties. Though it was more like Dracula versus Dracula in truth.

Facts are always far more horrific than horror fiction. But not as romantic.

Funnily enough I've just taped his film on BBC4 (Tommy came over for dinner) and am about to watch it!
