I love the Trollenberg Terror. I have fond memories of watching it in your old flat full of pizza and red wine.

I don’t really get it why people find monster reveals in old movies spoil things. I love them. I WANT to see a monster.SFX always date, but that’s cool. I’ve seen so many takes on Night of the Demon, where they say the demon reveal ruins it. What? That’s my favourite bit! That’s a great monster.

A great story, as always.

Cheers, Steve. The tentacles in TTT remind me of THE MIST these days. Didn’t King have one of the Crawling Eyes manifest in IT too? I saw NIGHT OF THE DEMON on the big screen not long ago and the monster got a cheer. The first attack is so well done and brutal as fuck. I’ll take this stuff over CGI any day.

If a demon ever comes for me, I want it to look like THAT. None of that, the scariest monster is the one you never see. Rubbish.

Another good wee story and sad to hear about Kenneth Cope, well remember watching Randall and Hopkirk as a kid and remember fondly.
