I love a scary movie and would crap myself watching edgar allan poe (hammer house of horror) movies when I was a young teen. One that still sticks in my mind is The Pit and the Pendulum. I haven't seen a really good scary film in ages so will take up some suggestions for this weekends viewing.
Tim Curry scared the bayjeezus out of me when I watched IT at the age of 11. Apparently he was so creepy on set that no-one would go near him, even the crew. After that, I became a complete scardy cat and can't sit through films like The Others and Sixth Sense without a pillow to hide behind.

Cor and blimey.

Just finished watching 'Let the Right One In' the aforementioned Swedish horror film.

Easily best film in the genre I've seen in a very long time. Asian horror eat your heart out (err so to speak), the swedes are here.


Wow, just wow. No cliches, no stock in trade chills or frights, none of that ramp the tension up music. Just a great story, brillaint direction, fine fine performances from the young leads and, just wow. Watch it.


Even if youre not a horror fan, in fact especially not, I'm not even convinced it's a horror film really, though if you're squeamish you might struggle a bit mind...


Anyway, in summary, breezes. Oh, and Wow!!!!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
