We're thrilled to announce something special this Halloween. The lovely folks at @accidentaltheatre have invited @cinepunkedfilm to do a live #commentary for #TheRockyHorrorPictureShow while they host a singalong screening at 7.30pm on 30 October 2019. Broadcasting live via Facebook and YouTube, wherever you are in the world, join @robertjesimpson and @r.b.kelly as they talk about Rocky. Facts, opinions, maybe some guests and surprises. We've been looking to do a #RHPS event for ages so when we were invited we couldn't say no! The pic is one of a session by acclaimed photographer @therealmickrock during production of the film in 1974 and features @littlenellcampbell (Columbia), @ladypatriciaquinn (Magenta) and #TimCurry (#franknfurter). Mick Rock's glorious book of stills from the making of the film published by Schwarzkopf is long overdue a reprint!

Today marks 50 years since the first broadcast of #MontyPythonsFlyingCircus on BBC TV. Running for 45 episodes, it eventually made its way to books, films, records, games, musicals and more. In 1974 the Pythons assembled for their first original feature - #MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail. An earlier feature #AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent was a big screen adaptation of their TV scripts, but this was a bold take on #Arthurian legend. Shot in #Scotland with funding provided by the likes of #PinkFloyd and #LedZeppelin. In 2005 #EricIdle arapted it into the Broadway smash #Spamalot.

#filming today at the #PerthMuseumandArtGallery today. Shooting a piece about #hammerhorror #TheMummy for its 60th birthday this week. There's a live video up on our Facebook and we'll have a longer piece up in a few days. Thanks to the staff at the #museum for all their help - pic from the museum social media feeds. #scotland #perthshire #hammerfilms #egyptology #classichorror #behindthescenes

Thanks those who came down for our screening of The Bridge tonight at @crescentartscentre and our voluntary support network. This was a hugely difficult conversation to pull off and from our inbox this week it's clear there's interest in the subject. We hope to do more with it. It's probably our most somber #podcast record to date - we'll have it out very soon. Huge thanks to special guest @mcchesneystuart - very insightful.

The brilliant @roald_dahl would have been 103 this week. Born 13 September 1916, his writing fuelled the imagination of generations of children, richly macabre, terrifically twisted. As part of this year's @cinemagic_filmfestival we're screening #NicolasRoeg's 1990 film version of #RoaldDahl's #TheWitches -starring #AnjelicaHuston- and produced by @hensoncompany. Join us 23 October 2019 at @crescentartscentre for The Witches and one of our trademark interactive discussions on the film. Tickets via https://www.wegottickets.com/event/482148 #witch #fantasy #horror #jimhenson #iconic #cinemagic30 #crescentartscentre #cinepunked

We were down at @allstateni tonight for the launch of the @cinemagic_filmfestival #programme. What a buzz in the room! So much talent! We're thrilled to be part of the 30th birthday year.
