Continue reading →: Announcements!
First, I’m very pleased to announce that my story “Black Hill” will be appearing in the forthcoming Historical Lovecraft anthology from Innsmouth Free Press, alongside stories by folks like Jesse Bullington and Molly Tanzer, among others. I’m looking forward to it, and I have a feeling it’s going to be…

Continue reading →: 74* of my Favorite Horror Movies
Yesterday Paul Tremblay and then Jesse Bullington both put out lists of their 74 Favorite Horror Movies. Being a good camp follower, I decided to try my own hand at a similar list. When I set out to make it I realized really quickly that Hammer movies were going to…

Continue reading →: Countdown: The Crimson Cult
The first five minutes or so of The Crimson Cult (aka, Curse of the Crimson Altar) feature a justly famous image of a blue-painted Barbara Steele in a crazy headdress presiding over a weird S&M witch’s sabbath where a naked woman chained to an altar is whipped and then sacrificed.…

Continue reading →: Ghost Appreciation Month: The Devil’s Backbone
As promised, my second contribution to Ghost Appreciation Month is up at Beyond Fiction. This one is more of companion piece to my earlier contribution to Vampire Awareness Month, since this time I’m tackling Guillermo del Toro’s second Spanish-language film, The Devil’s Backbone.

Basically just a big movie of Dracula being petty and vindictive. “You put up a ‘No Vampires Allowed’ sign on my house while I was sleeping, so now I’m going to kill you and turn your niece into a monster.” That sort of thing. There’s lots of inexplicable stuff (Why…

Continue reading →: Countdown: The Raven & Comedy of Terrors
I’ve been waiting to see these two for a long, long time. I picked up pretty much all the other Price/Corman collaborations on double-sided DVDs some time ago, but these two escaped my clutches until just now, when they finally appeared on Netflix watch instantly. Both The Raven and Comedy…

Continue reading →: Countdown: Masters of Horror: The Black Cat
I was discussing the anniversary of Edgar Allan Poe’s death recently, and it was suggested that I should check out this Masters of Horror episode, which I had thus far missed, a failing that I can only attribute to my somehow being ignorant that it starred Jeffrey Combs as Poe…

Continue reading →: Countdown: Annabel Lee & Others
The folks at Lurker Films have long done a series of DVDs featuring H.P. Lovecraft-inspired short and independent films which I, shamefully, have never watched even one of. But when they rolled out their series doing the same thing with Edgar Allan Poe films, and the first volume included a…
