15 Horror Movies I Can’t Live Without #19
RIP M Emmet Walsh
So many great performances.
People are talking about BLADE RUNNER (1982) of course, but his part in BLOOD SIMPLE (1984) is one of the all-time greats. He also had a long and varied TV career before moving to the big screen and it’s always awesome when he pops up in a Starsky & Hutch or Rockford Files.

This is my favourite series of panels:
Gonna have to find a way to use that line in real life.

If you asked me to make the same list next week there’s every chance that I’d pick 15 different movies, but it’s not a bad selection. Over on Instagram it’s nice to find out I’ve already introduced a few of these great titles to people for the very first time.
Now I’ve got to revisit the temptation to watch ‘em all again…
And, following Mike Mignola’s lead, I’m gonna add a quick bonus round because 15 was never gonna be enough.
