So, to the last day of the festival and I was actually feeling less tired as I managed to get some sleep. My main highlight I knew would be Re-Animator but I knew I would also be able to see some classic horror movies I’d not yet seen.
Let’s Scare Jessica to Death
This movie is the kind that offers more questions by the end that it answers, but for that reason it works even better. Jessica is almost certainly crazy, but strangely enough so is everybody else around her. Half between a ghost and a vampire story Jessica finds she has to work out just what is real and what is in her head but I’d argue one theory has to be everything is in her head because it’s all just that crazy. With its creepy atmosphere and insane environment this was a little gem...

Inspired by the classic radio shows of Alfred Hitchcock, Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre, and Orson Welles, Tales From Beyond...

There's no greater guilty pleasure I have than horror themed radio drama. I listened to it all to this very day.

Needless to say that Larry Fessenden's Glass Eye Pix launching a new genre audio program entitled "Tales from Beyond the Pale" is music to my ears and it debuts on October 26th!

The latest animated short from UK-based filmmaker (and Fango contributor) Ashley Thorpe, The Hairy Hands (see Fango #293) looks set to have another “hit with a myth,” having been screened recently at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The vivid little flick—Thorpe’s fourth in a series of animations that aim to resurrect neglected aspects of British legend—looks set to follow in the footsteps of the award-winning Scayrecrow and The Screaming Skull.

If you click here you’ll be able to read the first feature I wrote about visionary UK based filmmaker Ashley Thorpe, an artist whose carefully controlled, creepy and rapturously gothic short films Scayrecrow and The Screaming Skull (which screened at this years NYC Fango Con) really left an impression on me.
The man is a stylist supreme, his weird rotoscope approach matched by his respect for myth and I wasn’t the only one who thought so. Both pictures have gone on to win a multitude of awards and earn a plethora of accolades (you can see them for yourself at Thorpe’s site) and I thought it was high time to play catch up with the man.
See, I’m still convinced this guy is going to be a huge influence in horror for years to come and it appeases my ego to know that I was one...

If I see another low budget indie horror film about some shmos getting stranded somewhere and running afoul of some class of homicidal skin snacking shmuck, I shall most assuredly scream and shoot holes in my home screen. Yes, yes, yes, the phrase “indie horror” is more often than not a real deal red flag to stay the eff you see kay Away. That’s why it is my pleasure, as both a lover of horror films that break rules and refuse to behave and gothic, stylized shockers that bow and kiss your hand before they cut your throat, to wax rapturous about Ashley Thorpe.
Thorpe’s visionary and reverent animated gothic melodramas Scayrecrow and The Screaming Skull are throwbacks to a gentler age of terror, especially that of Hammer Studios, the Victorian terror machine that I live and die by and that from 1957 – 1975, pumped out the sort of swoony stiff collared horror films that,...
