Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival: Terrifier 2 (2022)
The moments that work in Terrifier are the ones without the gore. Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) is just walking with a bag of glass, and there are moments in the pizza shop and him on that bike. The disquiet of those moments was so upsetting that I was excited to see where the next […]

Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival: The Wicker Man (1973)
The Wicker Man begins with Christopher Lee, a Hammer star, talking to writer Anthony Shaffer about more interesting roles. Shaffer had read the David Pinner novel Ritual — which had first been written as a script for Michael Winner, and I can’t even imagine what he would have done — and turned that inspiration into his own story. Shaffer’s […]
EXPLORING: What’s with all the Zombie sequels?
In the spirit of my deep dives into Demons and La Casa, I was excited to discover just how many movies use the title Zombi or Zombie. As I learned which ones were which, I figured it would be a good idea to share my scholarly research. Dawn of the Dead (1978): Obviously, Zombi is Dawn of the Dead. It was […]
