I wrote this collection of short stories inspired by classic radio horror shows, series like One Step Beyond and The Twilight Zone, British ghost stories, and my general predilection for the macabre. It really seems like the time of year you should be reading it*.

‘Halloween’ reshaped as European arthouse, the bold, rebellious ‘Revenge of Michael Myers’ mightn’t be everybody’s cup of pumpkin spice, but, through its deviant disposition, majestic visuals, outré perfs, and chilly air of menace, it concocts a fascinatingly playful postlude to the prosaic part 4.

A product of the halcyon days before the slasher formula became set in stone. You can see the influence of Argento and Carpenter on CURTAINS, but the movie also borrows from 70s psychodramas. The whole affair is scrumptiously loopy, never more so than in a kill involving ice skates and a scythe.

Hooper’s ‘Toolbox Murders’ remains one of the truest evocations of drive-in horror cinema since bell-bottoms were the zenith of style; a fiercely efficient slasher flick built not on pastiche and postmodern snark, but an enticingly peculiar mystery, solid perfs, and a dense air of inescapable dread.

You want an out of favour opinion? I got one. I don't think anything from the past should be censored. By all means present a disclaimer or a this is how it was but let everyone see it and stop being so hectoring and censorial. You never know how the future will look upon us in all our imperfection.

There's a nasty wrinkle on your forehead.

There's a scar there that you cover with makeup.»

Cathy is haunted by her childhood; but also hulking sledgehammer swingers, malformed malignancies & nonoperational phones--all tangential to the true horror of going home when your home is hell's front stoop & your fiancé is a crappy satanist.

Four creepy bedrooms: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, The Night of the Hunter, Red Desert, and The Parallax View.
The frames are theatrical, artificial; the characters trapped within a construct, a pathology, dogma, shadowy conspiracies, or (in the case of Red Desert) something more nebulous.

#Shocktober Slumber Party Massacre II (1987) - bit of a mess but holy shit, when it’s good it’s GREAT. And I mean when the movie is hijacked by the spirit of toxically masculine rock and roll. Atanas Ilitch is an absolute delight and his musical number is a 10/10, a slasher for the ages.

Dementia (1955) is a dialogueless fever dream film about a woman's nightmare experience on a single night in LA. Made a decade too early to be a hit, it's a mix of German expressionism and American noir and closer to 60s films like Carnival of Souls and Polanski's Repulsion. It's worth an hour of

I remember having the absolute fucking cheek to call it a “cult classic” on a certain message board circa 2001/02. The amount of sneering vitriol I sustained from know-it-all horror nerds was crazy. I laughed then, and, with the profuse outpouring of love it’s since gotten, I’m laughing now.
