Despite saying the other day that I am clearing out my film collection as I just don’t watch them any more, I am still a bit of a fan of cult movies.
Last year, I attended a fun film screening at the gothic church in Islington which was quite fun, and they are back again later this month.
They have three films to choose from this year:
Quatermass and the Pit – October 29
The Amityville Horror – October 30
Psycho – October 31
Personally, I am going to sate my never ending hunger for tube-geekery and go for Quatermass and the Pit, which is famously set in the Central Line extension digging works.

This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.
It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.
If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.
Thank you
Can you tell me what/where the ‘Central Line extension digging works’ are?
Erm, they are efforts that involved digging a tunnel for the purpose of extending the Central Line – its a key feature of the film plot.
One of my favorite films of all time.A lot to do with the setting in hobb’s lane tube station and the victorian gotic revival church in Islington, tube station is fictional of course. Great.
