Fright Night (USA, 1985; dir. Tom Holland); Fright Night (USA, 2011; dir. Craig Gillespie) Review by Jennifer Wallis
Bizarrism is a collection of strange-but-true tales, featuring a grand parade of eccentrics, visionaries, crackpots, cult leaders, artists, theorists and outsiders of every stripe. First published in 1999, and out of print for years, Headpress has now released a new, fully revised and expanded edition that revisits a host of unique individuals. Here Bizarrism and Eccentropedia author Chris Mikul shares five of his favourite eccentrics from his personal database of … singular personalities.
Amanda Reyes is the editor of Are You in the House Alone,
a collection about the golden age of the US telefilm.
When the Comics Magazine Association of America established the Comics Code in 1954, not only was salacious, suggestive, violent and horrific content banished from comic books but an entire industry was decimated.
I stumbled across this image on one of my recent jogs around the internet. It is one of the most savage and arresting creations I have seen in a long time, and a beautiful representation of the Grand Guignol aesthetic (horror beyond horror, as I now call it).
On February 14, 2017, Crites’ Coloring Book by Tom Crites became the first coloring book in the history of coloring books to be banned.
Anyone with an interest in Grand Guignol, the theatre in Paris whose name is a byword for horror beyond horror, may care to know that its vicarious thrills are alive on the boards again thanks to some small dedicated theatre companies in London and indeed around the world.
