October Horror continues with Bennett Glace exploring 'Habit' (1995), Larry Fessenden's melancholy and sexy take on vampire tropes.

Incredibly excited to kick off October Horror with my look at Jim Van Bebber’s short films. Roadkill and My Sweet Satan are two of his strongest works, offering particularly nightmarish visions of Ohio. There are great pieces in store this year, and I have another Ohio piece coming down the line!

Phantom frequencies beget societal annihilation in 'Chime' (2024), Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s portrait of a world succumbing to metaphysical decay and the widening fallout of an alienated populace. October Horror continues with the latest from Oliver O'Sullivan!

With an emphasis on the horrors of small-town existence, ‘Roadkill’ and ‘My Sweet Satan’ are as crucial to Jim Van Bebber’s filmography as his infamous features. Vincent Albarano kicks things off for October Horror 2025 with some Ohio desolation!

Defiantly modern and collage-like, Dutch Marich’s Horror In The High Desert series looks into the darkness of Nevada’s wilderness and refuses to blink.

"With ash in my hair/ And dirt in my nails/ The eternal story/ We love and we fail..." The title track from my forthcoming album "The Resurrection Game" is about love and loss, and wrestling with inherited patterns.

LOST HEARTS Lawrence Gordon Clark 1973

My new feature film, End of History, will be premiering at Chicago Underground Film Festival September 19th. It’s about a loser driving to Alaska and listening to podcasts. It’s slow and bleak. It’s the best film ever made. Future screenings to be announced later

I'm very proud of this Frank V. Ross video interview series, and maybe this new 'Tiger Tail in Blue' episode most of all. Frank doesn't hold back on the highs and lows of making deeply personal independent films. This interview breaks my heart and inspires me all at once.

With its complicated vision of identity and alienation, the original 'Sleepaway Camp' is one of the most notorious slashers of the 1980s. Its sequels transform Angela “Angel of Death” Baker into a comedic and monstrous villain.

Venture into the heart of American horror’s strangest amusement park in 'Malatesta’s Carnival of Blood' (1973), a film that feels defiantly handmade with sets constructed out of glittery and doomed recycled objects.
