An overnight trip to Atlantic City brings a chance encounter between Danny and ex-girlfriend Katie. When Katie dies a few hours later, Danny and Ceepak join the efforts to find her killer. Even for a series that tends to be dark at times (at least by my standards), this one was especially grim. Still, watching the two leads interact is always a treat.

Provocative-at-the-time Hammer exploitation movie; Ingrid Pitt's first starring role for the company. Voluptuous vampire Carmilla (Pitt) preys upon aristocratic young women in fairy-tale Mitteleuropa.

Much stronger on gratuitous nudity and heavily implied lesbianism than on narrative coherency; good supporting cast of British character actors is very much put in the shade by a powerful, charismatic performance from Ingrid Pitt. All feels a bit tame by modern standards, but good enough production values and acting to keep it credible and mildly interesting.

Who you gonna call? Ghost breakers!!
Classic 1980s supernatural comedy horror, that originally was going to be called Ghost breakers if they couldn't get the rights to the name, and starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Sigourney Weaver.

A bit dated by today's standards, and I recently found out that it was also rushed to meet a deadline (which might explain the sometimes ropey effects), but it does have a bangin' theme tune alongside an interesting take on the 'going into business' scthick.
