RIP Aldo Lado (1934-2023), director of the visually stylish gialli, Who Saw Her Die? and Short Night of Glass Dolls as well as the grisly revenge film Night Train Murders.
An underappreciated talent.

Remembering William Henry Pratt... professionally known as #BorisKarloff who was born on this day in 1887. He received his break playing the Frankenstein monster and never looked back!

Look what I just found! In 1997 John Landis was a guest at @FFF_Manchester. He agreed to an interview for @SFXmagazine but wanted to do it over a Big Mac. McDonalds was pretty full and the only place we could find to discuss An American Werewolf in London was the kiddie corner!

RIP Giovanni Lombardo Radice.
ALT A square graphic that reads: "It's with huge shock and sadness that we learned today that Giovanni Lombardo Radice has passed away. We feel we should share that he was looking forward to joining us as a guest at Abertoir this year, and we’re devastated not to have the chance to meet him and celebrate his fantastic career. We mourn the loss of a legend of Italian exploitation cinema, who leaves behind some truly iconic performances. Our sincere condolences go out to his friends and family." The text is white on a dark grey-green background. A close-up film still of Giovanni Lombardo Radice is placed centrally at the bottom of the square.

I was very sad about the death of the extraordinary actor Giovanni Lombardo Radice. One who pushed boundaries, he was fascinating to talk to when he was a fellow guest at the 2014 Manchester Festival of Fantastic Films.I feel honoured to have spent time with him. (4th from left)
