Return to the Forbidden Zone

Whatever happened to the midnight movie? You know what I’m talking about, those super cool, super weird, sometimes rowdy, often socially or culturally or stylistically transgressive flicks that used to pack theatres to the rafters come every Friday and Saturday witching hour?

DVDanger: The Larry Fessenden Collection

Whale. Castle. Carpenter. Craven. Fulci. The great names of horror. But maybe there's another, less known talent that should be added to this list. Larry Fessenden may never have had their commercial success, but the New York filmmaker's impact on modern American horror, both artistic and personal, is indelible.

SXSW Interactive Announces Over 500 Sessions

SXSW is big. For the Interactive portion of the festival it’s apparent by the occupation of every conference room, multimedia room, multi-use space, outhouse, and doghouse within a mile radius of Downtown. That’s because they have to squeeze more than 100 sessions into each of its five days.
