Minor Horror #02-15: The Return of Dracula
This is the fifteenth and final in a series of fifteen pieces on “minor” horror films that I’m going to be publishing here throughout October.

for today's Minor Horror, i wrote about Burial Ground, a lurid Italian zombie movie which achieves a kind of grotesque sublimity through its ultra-minimal plotting and blunt, almost artless images of maggot-infested undead mayhem. check it out

for today's Minor Horror, i wrote about Almost Invisible, a straight-to-dvd haunted house movie inexplicably pitched somewhere between a mid-aughts teen sex comedy and Inland Empire, both wildly inventive and stiflingly generic, a truly confounding cultural artifact. check it out

for today's Minor Horror, i wrote about The Hollywood Strangler Meets the Skid Row Slasher, which i believe one of the best American films of the 1970s, a brutal, harrowing expurgation of diseased masculinity, and also a completely vile, debased piece of trash. check it out
