I Have Plenty of Horror-Related Reading and Listening for Your Halloween Pleasure!



Happy Halloween, dear readers!

For When It Was Cool's Monster Month theme, My Uphill Both Ways podcast co-host Mike Imboden and I tackled our childhood Halloween memories in episode 13, and favorite monster movies and horror hosts in episode 14. Give them both a listen here!



Mike joined my usual Decades of Horror: The Classic Era podcast co-hosts for our episode tackling Santo and Blue Demon Against the Monsters. This movie is so much fun, and we all had a blast discussing it! You can listen to it and all of our other episodes here.



Over at the That's Not Current website, I have recently covered the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival, reviewing the haunting Hagazussa: A Heathen's Curse and the psychological chiller Veronica here, and Clementina, in which real-life horrors collide with the supernatural, and Game of Death, a gory effects showcase, here. I've also reviewed the new Australian chiller 3rd Night, which is currently making the film festival rounds, here, and written the article "Six Films to Salivate Over at the Inaugural Cinepocalypse Film Festival," which you can read here.


I also reviewed four films from the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival for When It Was Cool. Part one of my coverage looks at Mexican found footage shocker --- shot on super 8mm! ---1974 and coming-of-age vampire tale Salvation, and part two features The Crescent and I Remember You, which share the themes of grief by the seaside, but in quite different approaches.


For Gruesome Magazine, I recently reviewed the wonderful documentary King Cohen: The Wold World of Filmmaker Larry Cohen and wrote another Cinepocalypse preview article, looking at eight different films from my That's Not Current preview.



The Fall 2017 edition (issue 104) of Phantom of the Movies' Videoscope magazine is on newsstands now, and features two "Best of the Fests" articles by yours truly. One is on Montreal's incredible Fantasia International Film Festival, and the other is on South Korea's Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival. I proudly wrote the latter one with my son Cohen Perry. If you can't find the magazine at your favorite local brick and mortar bookstore, you can order it directly from videoscopemag.com.
