...I endulged in a couple of orgies of satanic worship ;)

No thats not as exciting as it sounds lol...I watched 2 great 70s horror films based around devil worship. Firstly 'Race with the Devil' from 1975. Good stuff for those who havent seen it think 'The Wickerman' meets American road movie and you're pretty close. I'll not give too much plot away because if you havent seen it, its one of those films thats better if you dont know much about it but it starts with 2 holidaying couples witnessing a black mass and develops from that. The second was one I've never seen before called 'Blood on Satans Claw'...this film looked as though it might be pretty bad when it started, but quite the opposite. Its all based around a strange skull being found in a 17th century village and people who come into contact with it falling under the influence of a local satanic cult led by a rather stunning looking young Linda Hayden, and growing a demon-like claw and skin...also of interest to Dr Who followers is it also stars Wendy Padbury who was Pat Troughtons assistant, Zoe. Lots of taboo breaking in this one and generally an underrated horror gem.

Also watched 2 other horrors this weekend...The Howling, which has aged pretty well (not seen it since I was 10) and Revenge of Frankenstein, which wasnt bad, but not my favourite of the Peter Cushing Frankenstein series...I much prefer Curse of Frankenstein, Evil of Frankenstien and Frankenstein must be Destroyed. I still havent seen 'Frankenstein Created Woman' or 'Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell' yet though.

Still havent wathced parts 4 and 5 of Torchwood yet, have already been spoiled about something major in it though. Its a good job I'm not worried about that sort of thing.

'Race with the Devil' - thank you! I've been trying to figure out the name of that film for years. Saw it by accident yonks and yonks ago - it's very good.

Blood on Satans Claw is an absolute classic!

Both great films...on the same theme I need to see The Devil Rides Out, To the Devil a Daughter and Witchfinder General soon. Seen them before but not in ages...and 'The Witches' which I dont think I've ever seen.
