DISMEMBERCEMBER: The Apartment (1960)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Thanks to Beth Waldron for suggesting this movie. This was originally posted on March 27, 2022. This is also a New Year’s movie!

AMANDO DE OSSORIO WEEK: Night of the Seagulls (1975)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This first appeared on September 24, 2019. Is there a more striking visual in horror than the Blind Dead, freshly awakened from their centuries of slumber, slowly plodding their way toward their victims? Not for my peseta. Well, they don’t make those any longer. Let me rephrase: not for my euro. Night of […]
