- Nov 07, 2020
I love the Shakespeare history plays; I love the struggle for the crown as a plot.
- Fun
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's a cliche, but it's true that all the fun lies in baddies, grotesques and comic roles.
- Dead
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Sci-fi and fantasy used to be a TV staple throughout my childhood. Then it just stopped dead. It was seen as culty, a minority interest.
- New

- Nov 07, 2020
Europe is so much the home of Horror, with its myths of vampires, werewolves, witchcraft and the undead, yet it's like those myths were exported to Hollywood, leaving Europe the room to develop a new tradition as a way of processing its traumas, particularly the two world wars.
- Gay
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am a gay man who loves James Bond films and snooker - all kinds of working-class pursuits.
- Mistake
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Even when I was a child, I always wanted to be older. I realised just in time that it's a mistake and to enjoy my youth while I had it.
- Little
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
They are called 'Emos' now, and before that they were 'Goths.' They didn't have a name for it when I was one, but I was that black-wearing teenager and yes, I wore a little eyeliner.
- Men
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The reason I wanted to do 'The First Men in the Moon' was that there is something so challenging in the combination of space travel and the Edwardian period.
- Frankenstein
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Son of Frankenstein' is never talked about in the same tone as James Whale's 1931 'Frankenstein.' But it should be. It was Boris Karloff's last appearance in the Frankenstein series and stars Donnie Dunagan, then a child actor.

- Nov 07, 2020
The question I ask myself is: have I really just become a squeamish middle-aged man, or has something happened to the horror genre that shows a growing appetite for watching torture, or at least a desire to explore it on film? And if so, why would that be? I can't pretend I know. I just know I don't like it.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think one of the few faults in Dickens is that mostly his lead characters are blanks - who is David Copperfield, who is Oliver Twist? And yet he takes such joy in populating the rest of his novels with these fantastic, grotesque people like Pecksmith and so on.
- Dangerous Place
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm terribly nostalgic, but I'm with the Elizabethans who thought nostalgia was a disease. It's a dangerous place to be because you can get caught up in it.
- Delicious
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Even though it's meant to be the season of jollity and goodwill, there's something delicious about the anticipation of a Christmassy ghost thrill.
- Fear
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fear is an underrated emotion. And that's why I think it's very dangerous to try and cosset children from it. A healthy scare is as good as as a healthy laugh. In fact, they're two sides of the same coin. There is a desire to shield from the knocks and bumps of reality.
- Fairy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One of the pleasures of the original 'Grimm's Fairy Tales' is how incredibly ghastly they are. The ugly sisters have their eyes pecked out by crows.
- Believe

- Nov 07, 2020
Grooming-wise, it is now a constant battle as I progressively turn into my father. I have to keep on top of ear and nose hair - things you never believe will happen to you. Suddenly I have a shaving brush in my ear and I don't know where it's come from, and the more hair I take the out, the more it surges back.
- Gym
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I used to go to the gym regularly and swim an awful lot, but that was when I was unemployed and knew leisure intimately.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At school I briefly wanted to be a palaeontologist, but I was no good at chemistry and physics.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The thing is, horror is a big part of 'Sherlock Holmes.' Doyle also wrote a lot of great horror stories, so there's a lot more horror in 'Holmes' that people possibly think of. There's a lot of curses and mysticism and real scares.
- I Can
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The first film I can remember seeing on TV was 'The Brides of Dracula.' I was instantly hooked.
- Bible
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was seven or eight, I was bought a fantastic book called 'The Movie Treasury of Horror Movies' by Alan G. Frank; it became my bible. It's packed full of the most amazing photos and is still fantastic to look at.
- Forbidding
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My dad was quite a forbidding figure. I realise now that that was mainly because he worked so hard. He wasn't unkind, but he was a presence.
