I'm very happy with Bus on Dark Road in Dug Up magazine. A guy on a bus worries about the crazy homeless guy, until a monster shows up.

If you read it and have questions let me know.

Well, here we go. My goal this year was to get published. I guess my new goal is to stay that way. These are horror stories. Act accordingly.

I covered Scott Schirmer twice on Director Roundup. His newest film Gush is having its world premiere June 7. If you know any of these films, check the comments for where his other films are streaming. Headless is unique though. It's a sort of spinoff from Found but directed by Arthur Cullipher.

Branded to Kill
1967
Seijun Suzuki’s Branded to Kill (1967) came in at work. First time watching it, a great hitman movie. I kept thinking it felt like a Maya Deren hitman movie.

Sexy Beast (2000)
Put in Sexy Beast from my curiosity pile, directed by Jonathan Glazer. Ben Kingsly's character is one for the books. Great parallel editing scene in the second half of Beast after Ray Winstone goes to the heist job Kingsley was trying to get him to do.

Book haul. I don’t know all these authors, but they came in a pile with Guy N Smith and James Herbert books that I am waiting to be priced. And it was all from the same person so it seemed like a good recommendation for
the authors I don’t know .

Put in I Walked with a Zombie. Love Jacques Tourneur and Val Lewton’s work. It’s not often a work is called so-and-so’s work. Oftentimes a Lewton produced movie is Val Lewton film. I have no problem with that. Great atmospheric dread.

First time watching Deadly Games (1982). Good slasher flick with some good twists and great dialogue/acting from Jo Ann Harris. I felt like they were trying to go satirical a lot like Pretty Maids All in a Row but they wound up with a by the book slasher film.

Lowell Dean's Dark Match is on Shudder! Covered him twice in Dir Roundup. An 80s wrestling org is hired for a match with disastrous results. An amazing film. Better than the Wolfcop movies and I love them.https://psychodrivein.com/cahiers-du-horror-15-director-roundup-october-2024/

Black Circle is on Shudder! I've been waiting for this one for five years. Wrote about it in 2020. From the director of the werewolf movie Late Phases now called Night of the Wolf (2014).
The black circle is a vinyl record btw. psychodrivein.com/cahiers-du-h...
