The Final Cut - U.F.O.T.M


From their 1993 album Consumed, a favorite from start to finish for more years than not, at this point. The opening samples from Flatliners always get me. 

31 Days of Halloween:

1) George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead
2) V/H/S/ playlist (Amateur Night; Safe Haven; Slumber Party Alien Abduction; Bone Storm; Dreamkill)
3) The Warriors
4) Big Trouble in Little China
5) Dreamscape
6) Infirmary*
7) Beware Boiúna*
8) Milk & Serial
9) Pumpkinhead
10) Deathgasm (The Last Drive-In Presentation)
11) Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings*
12) Carrie (Mike Flanagan)*/ John Carpenter's The Thing
13) The Roost / Return of the Living Dead III*
14) Trigger Man
15) Evil Dead Burn
16) Pulse*/ Lord of Tears*
17) Impetigore*/ Sator
18) My Soul To Take*/ The Serpent and the Rainbow
19) Terrifier
20) Evil Dead 2013/ All Hallows Eve
21) Crystal Lake*/ Friday the 13th
22) All Hallow's Eve 2*/ A Nightmare on Elm Street
23) The Last Drive-In Halloween House Party: John Carpenter's Body Bags/ WNUF Halloween Special*
24) The Cycle*/ The Howling
25) Dark and the Wicked/ Pet Sematary/ November
26) Cobweb/ Simpsons Treehouse of Horror VII and VIII 
27) The Ninth Heart*/ Flatliners/ Suspiria
28) City of the Dead/ Treehouse of Horror VIX
29) The Rocky Horror Picture Show/ The Convent/ Lords of Salem

Every time I watch Rob Zombie's Lords of Salem, I'm struck by how sad it is, how beautiful it is, and how absolutely, gloriously blasphemous it is. I like most of Zombie's films to one degree or another, but this film is beyond anything else he's ever done. 


We also watched The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and it's funny that I never realized Patricia Quinn is in both films. That's another thing I've always dug about Zombie's films - how he casts his heroes.

Faced with stagnation, pivot into what comes next.

I read this twofold. First, that my annual Halloween celebration is nearly over and once it is, I'll pivot back into work mode on the book (been slow and feeling a little frustrating, as I've mentioned here recently). Also, I think I need to skip ahead of the scene I'm stuck on and work on the scene after in order to free myself of the block.

New Music from Dead Man's Bones!


So excited to have these guys back. No pre-order for a full album yet, but I'll be watching for that like a hawk.

31 Days of Halloween:

1) George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead
2) V/H/S/ playlist (Amateur Night; Safe Haven; Slumber Party Alien Abduction; Bone Storm; Dreamkill)
3) The Warriors

13) The Roost / Return of the Living Dead III*
14) Trigger Man
15) Evil Dead Burn
16) Pulse*/ Lord of Tears*

27) The Ninth Heart*/ Flatliners/ Suspiria

From Juraj Herz's The Ninth Heart, which I watched for the first time yesterday. This is included in Severin's All the Haunts Be Ours Vol. II set, and I'd yet to watch it. The first two acts are okay, but they do not prepare you for the absolute grandeur of the third. This is the intro to that, but what comes after, even, is just jaw dropping.


I've only watched a handful in this set so far, but I'm back in that Folk Horror mindset, so I'll be posting more about the other films in the weeks ahead.

* Indicated first-time viewing

NCBD:

Nice quiet week for Halloween. Here we go:


As I predicted, I like Void Rivals so much more as a book about a handful of folks wandering through the galaxy.


Thought that was bloody John Constantine on the cover for a minute! Still enjoying Ram V's old school Vertigo "spies and Magick" book, interested to see where it's going.


So good to have this book back, and the newsprint on the first issue was spectacular. Not sure if that's the plan going forward, but I'm into it if it is.

Playlist:

Dead Man's Bones - Lost in the Night (single)
Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats - Shapes of Midnight
Black Sabbath - Technical Ecstasy
John Carpenter w/ Alan Howarth - Halloween III: The Season of the Witch OST
Ain Soph - Rituals

Chelsea Wolfe and Tyler Bates - X OST

Card:

From Jonathan Grimm's Eldritch Lace Tarot, which you can buy HERE.


• Ace of Cups
• 09: The Hermit
• 20: Judgement

Confidence comes from isolation in a flashpoint - I'm currently stuck on a scene in Shadow Play II and I think this is telling me I need to spend some concentrated time alone with this. I've not been writing as much lately because I'm still experiencing pain in my back and urinary tract from the kidney stones - will they ever fucking pass?! - so all my recent sessions have been "thin." 

I need to change that.

Dave Stewart & The Spiritual Cowboys - Party Town


I first heard Dave Stewart and the Spiritual Cowboys' song "Party Town" back when I saw Flatliners in the theatre, circa 1990. I've loved this song since, but it took me forever to introduce it into my rotation.

31 Days of Halloween:

We watched Jordan Downey's The Cycle this past Saturday. Fantastic film! 


I had some small issues with the interpersonal dialogue at times, but overall, this is an expertly film, made on a studio scale - look at the production values! - and it features a gnarly, throw-back practical monster. Can't recommend this one enough - just hit Shudder.

Also, as I'm focusing on integrating as many first-time watches into this Halloween viewing season, I've begun marking all first-time viewings with *.

1) George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead
2) V/H/S/ playlist (Amateur Night; Safe Haven; Slumber Party Alien Abduction; Bone Storm; Dreamkill)
3) The Warriors
4) Big Trouble in Little China
5) Dreamscape
6) Infirmary*
7) Beware Boiúna*
8) Milk & Serial
9) Pumpkinhead
10) Deathgasm (The Last Drive-In Presentation)
11) Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings*
12) Carrie (Mike Flanagan)*/ John Carpenter's The Thing
13) The Roost / Return of the Living Dead III*
14) Trigger Man
15) Evil Dead Burn
16) Pulse*/ Lord of Tears*
17) Impetigore*/ Sator
18) My Soul To Take*/ The Serpent and the Rainbow
19) Terrifier
20) Evil Dead 2013/ All Hallows Eve
21) Crystal Lake*/ Friday the 13th
22) All Hallow's Eve 2*/ A Nightmare on Elm Street
23) The Last Drive-In Halloween House Party: John Carpenter's Body Bags/ WNUF Halloween Special*
24) The Cycle*/ The Howling
25) Dark and the Wicked/ Pet Sematary/ November

..

The trailer for Jeremy Saulnier's new film, Slayground popped up and apparently it is a Horror flick! Saulnier making a straight Horror flick? Oh man...


Only issue here is, this hits theaters January 29th! So wish this was landing in time for Halloween. I am very excited for this. I love all of Saulnier's films... well, except Murder Party, which I tried several times years ago and couldn't get into. I'll have to give that another go at some point. Everything since, however, has been fantastic.
 

Read:

I neglected to mention here that I finished reading the revised Gunslinger a few weeks ago and immediately picked up King's first collaboration with Peter Straub - The Talisman - for a reread. This is all part of my planned Dark Tower/Territories deep-dive. After The Talisman, I'll read the sequel Black House for the first time, then roll right into the just-published Other Worlds Than These.


I'm halfway through and this one is a tough read for me. I walked away from my first experience with it - oh, say about fifteen years ago - not really a fan. There are parts of it I really, like, and other parts that leave me cold. I'm coming to realize as I reread this now, that those parts often have to do with the absolutely brutal child abuse in this one. This is like the anti-Goonies; The Talisman takes the idea of a young kid on mystical adventure that was so popular after its publication and shows what a scenario like that might really look like. Between The Oatley Tap and Sunshine House, there's a lot of really challenging stuff in here. That's great, though. I think the last time I read this, I didn't quite understand what I was getting in to. I'm not saying The Talisman is going to suddenly enter my top five King novels by the end of this read, but I'm definitely appreciating it a lot more this time through. 

Playlist:

Marilyn Manson - One Assassination Under God Chapter 2
Walter Rizzati - The House by the Cemetery OST
Dead Man's Bones - Eponymous
The Damned - Night of a Thousand Vampires
Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats - The Night Creeper
Blut Aus Nord - Hallucinogen
Danzig - Black Aria
Danzig - Black Aria II
Portishead - Third
Tones On Tail - Everything!

Card:

From Jonathan Grimm's Hand of Doom Tarot, which you can buy HERE.


• Two of Pentacles
• Eight of Swords
• Ace of Cups

Adaptable approach made difficult by an emotional bombshell. 

Hmm. No idea how to interpret this at the moment. That said, I see the Two of Pentacles a lot when I work with Grimm's Hand of Doom deck, and that makes me think there's definitely something about the card that 'sticks.' It may be constant change - I think I'm fairly good at that, even though my routine has definitely solidified since arriving in TN four years ago.

Gris Gris


From Dr. John's 1968 album Gris Gris - Mr. Brown turned me onto this a handful of years back and it's become part of my regular October rotation.
 

31 Days of Halloween:

A couple nights ago I rewatched All Hallows' Eve. This one is pretty freakin' grimy - even moreso than the first Terrifier flick - but I was in the mood. After, I found myself wondering about the sequel. I finally watched that yesterday, and I have to say, not what I was expecting at all.


There's a definite jump in budget here. The Art-wave of money clearly brought in some extra dough and the Producers put it to pretty good use. Also, gone is that grimy vibe; All Hallows' Eve 2 is way more in line with something like Tales of Halloween than its predecessor. Not everything works, but I'll tell you, I watched a few of the shorts herein and then had to come back to it the next day. In that time, I started reading the book I talk about in the "Read" section below, and then it hit me - thematically, this has way more in common with the EC Comics paradigm than it does any modern anthology. And that really endeared this one to me. Not sure I'd watch it again outside of maybe showing it to a friend, but I enjoyed my time with it for sure, and I didn't feel like I needed a shower after it ended, like I do with the first All Hallows'.

1) George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead
2) V/H/S/ playlist (Amateur Night; Safe Haven; Slumber Party Alien Abduction; Bone Storm; Dreamkill)
3) The Warriors
4) Big Trouble in Little China
5) Dreamscape
6) Infirmary*
7) Beware Boiúna*
8) Milk & Serial*
9) Pumpkinhead
10) Deathgasm (The Last Drive-In Presentation)
11) Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings*
12) Carrie (Mike Flanagan)*/ John Carpenter's The Thing
13) The Roost / Return of the Living Dead III*
14) Trigger Man
15) Evil Dead Burn
16) Pulse*/ Lord of Tears*
17) Impetigore*/ Sator
18) My Soul To Take*/ The Serpent and the Rainbow
19) Terrifier
20) Evil Dead 2013/ All Hallows Eve
21) Crystal Lake*/ Friday the 13th
22) All Hallow's Eve 2*/ A Nightmare on Elm Street

Also, K and I put paid to Crystal Lake. 


The Horror Vision's review will land on Monday, but in short, this divided me completely down the middle. I don't want or need anything this offers (other than Linda Cardellini on screen), but part of me also acknowledged that this was bound to happen, and as far as explaining the monster - something I don't think you should ever do - while I'll always prefer the elegance of Adam Marcus just dropping the Necronomicon in Jason Goes to Hell and letting us interpret that how we may, this show's "science" actually wasn't a bad way to go.

Read:

This past week on NCBD, I picked up this new DC's Finest Horror Collection:


This is an early 550 page tome filled with reprints of select issues from books like House of Mystery, House of Secrets, The Witching Hour, Unexpected, all published between 1970 - 1971. To say the EC paradigm is at play is an understatement. Featuring work by Lein Wein, Bernie Wrightson, Alex Toth, George Kashdan and Jerry Grandenetti (to only name a few), this is a slice of Horror history. And as a fan of Sandman, it's nice to finally read some of the framework Gaiman used as the spine for that series; Cain, Able and an earlier version of the Kindly Ones are on full display in their spectral glory. 

Playlist:

Boards of Canada - Inferno
John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter & Daniel Davies - Cathedral
Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats - Shapes of Midnight
Ritual Howls - Ruin
Revolting Cocks - Beers, Steers + Queers

• 03: The Empress
• Ace of Wands
• Page of Cups

Okay, this is startlingly similar to Monday's pull, so let's think on this a moment:


• Eight of Cups
• Page of Wands
• 03: The Empress

I'm not nearly skilled enough to eke out an interpretation here, so I had to consult the google. 

First, it struck me there may be some significance in moving from the Eight of Cups to the Page of Cups. If anyone knows any texts out there that might discuss these kinds of inter-card leaps, please let me know. Apparently, moving from an Eight to a Page in Cups indicates leaving mastery behind for fresh, uninitiated vigor. Applied to the suit of Cups - Emotions - that tells me I have to get around or 'over' myself on something I'm doing, probably with my writing. 

What am I emotionally attached to here that I cannot let go?

The recurrence of the Empress suggests I'm ignoring something I know, or something my subconscious is trying to tell me. The move from Page of Wands to Ace of Wands says the time for experimentation has lapsed and I need to lean into my talent or 'foundational gift.'

Grimly Fiendish



Before Mr. Brown gifted me a CD copy of The Damned's 2022 live album, Night of A Thousand Vampires, I would have told you my list of great live albums was limited to three: The Who: Live at Leeds, Slayer: Live Undead, Slayer: Decade of Aggression, and Ozzy Osbourne: Tribute. Now there's five, because The Damned's two-disc live show recorded at the London Palladium on October 28, 2019 is stellar. I mean, start to finish, this is a total banger in every sense of the word, and it earned an immediate place in my October regular rotation. Here's a favorite, among a double album chocked with favorites.

31 Days of Halloween:

1) George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead
2) V/H/S/ playlist (Amateur Night; Safe Haven; Slumber Party Alien Abduction; Bone Storm; Dreamkill)
3) The Warriors
4) Big Trouble in Little China
5) Dreamscape
6) Infirmary
7) Beware Boiúna
8) Milk & Serial
9) Pumpkinhead
10) Deathgasm (The Last Drive-In Presentation)
11) Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings
12) Carrie (Mike Flanagan)/ John Carpenter's The Thing
13) The Roost / Return of the Living Dead III
14) Trigger Man
15) Evil Dead Burn
16) Pulse/ Lord of Tears
17) Impetigore/ Sator
18) My Soul To Take/ The Serpent and the Rainbow
19) Terrifier
20) Evil Dead 2013/ All Hallows Eve

Larry Fessenden's version of the classic, Universal monsters comes to a head in the new film Trauma Or, Monsters All, due out November 4th. Here's the trailer:


I am looong over due for a rewatch of both Depraved, which I haven't seen since it was in the theatre back in 2019 and Black Out, which came out VOD in 2024 and which, although watching, I remember next to nothing about. Fessenden's seminal NY vampire film Habit, which I know quite well. Still, the prospect of all these characters meeting in the new film - I expected Depraved's Adamand Blackout's Charley to meet, as they did briefly in Blackout's after credit scene, but I did not expect Habit's Sam to enter the mix. So cool! To think, Fessenden has basically been building to this for his entire career! So cool.

Trauma Or, All Monsters gets a limited theatrical rollout, so I may end up having to hit the Belcourt for a screening.

NCBD:

Trim week, but some goodies in the box for sure:


I don't know if I'll be fortunate enough to snare one of these "C" covers, but I'm going to try. Regardless, loving Sean Murphy's new dystopian series.


Oh man, the cover! I feel so much for this Abe Lincoln robot. If Destruction Be Our Lot continues to head up my top comics of 2026 list; the places this is goes are fantastic, and judging by this image, we're getting out of the "Robot World" and into what's above ground. I'm rooting for you, Abe!


I've always said that Spider-Man has the most Halloween-esque rogues gallery, so how can I pass this up? I'm still not sure about this "Treat" villain that's essentially a female Hobgoblin - Ol' Hobby being my favorite Spider-villain of all time - but I see pumpkin bombs and I fork over da cash, capiche?


Not gonna lie - I hate this cover. It's the color scheme. Still, this book has been cooking and a recent leak - if it's true - says some major things are en route, so my complaints are skin deep at most. 

Playlist:

The Damned - Night of a Thousand Vampires
Godflesh - Decay
Type O Negative - Origin of the Feces
Ritual Howls - Into the Water
The Final Cut - Consumed
Ain Soph - Rituals
Miranda Sex Garden - Suspiria
Miranda Sex Garden - Fairytales of Slavery
Bauhaus - The Sky's Gone Out

New Music From Deafheaven!!!


Deafheaven dropped a new EP a week or so ago, and it's brutal A.F. I'm posting this "film" that accompanies the opening track, "Hunter," but I haven't watched it yet. Regardless, love that we got this!  The POWER in this track, in George's voice and the overall mix - it's just awesome. 

You can order a copy of At Work In The Fields Of The Bomb directly from the band HERE.

31 Days of Halloween:

One of the flicks I watched over the weekend was Joko Anwar's 2019 Impetigore. I could have sworn I'd watched this before, back when it first hit Shudder during or shortly before the pandemic. I absolutely watched the opening, which is one of the best openings in Horror of the last decade. No previous Letterboxd entry, though, and I did not remember the overall plot, so I guess I started it and never went back. Regardless, this is a fantastic flick, and it represents everything I have come to love about Indonesian Horror over the last half dozen years or so. The darkness of a steaming jungle lit only by torches and the claustrophobia of such a wide open space. The brutality, and, of course, the insane ritualistic mechanics of the haunting/possession or, in this case, curse.

 

Despite not being a Slasher, elements of this hearken back to Peter Carter's Rituals, The Final Terror and Just Before Dawn for me. The Folk Horror elements are strong, but do not constitute the point of the film. For that, read about the impetus that inspired Graham and I think it adds an entirely new level of respect to the final product. 


I followed Impetigore with one I had seen and loved before, and Jordan Graham's Sator 100% holds up. This is the definite of a slow burn; the horrific elements steep, and while they do, we're treated to some of the most breathtaking nature cinematography in recent years.

1) George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead
2) V/H/S/ playlist (Amateur Night; Safe Haven; Slumber Party Alien Abduction; Bone Storm; Dreamkill)
3) The Warriors
4) Big Trouble in Little China
5) Dreamscape
6) Infirmary
7) Beware Boiúna
8) Milk & Serial
9) Pumpkinhead
10) Deathgasm (The Last Drive-In Presentation)
11) Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings
12) Carrie (Mike Flanagan)/ John Carpenter's The Thing
13) The Roost / Return of the Living Dead III
14) Trigger Man
15) Evil Dead Burn
16) Pulse/ Lord of Tears
17) Impetigore/ Sator
18) My Soul To Take/ The Serpent and the Rainbow

Sunday night Kirsten asked about a Wes Craven movie neither of us had ever seen, so we rented My Soul to Take on Prime. 



Despite some atmospheric shots peppered throughout the film, this one was a stinker. You can literally feel Craven chasing his next big hit, modifying previously used formulas to the degree that this feels like a mismatched amalgamation of several of his previous films. Because this was so bad, I had to follow it with my favorite Craven film, and one that reminds me how great he could be, 1988's The Serpent and the Rainbow. Here's an old tv spot from its original theatrical run:



I've known this film for most of its life, first seeing it on WGN channel nine's weeknight movie at 7:00 PM back circa 1989 or 1990. I love it, and it always strikes me as containing some of the most horrific images I've ever seen. 

Play:

I was minding my business this past Friday when I saw an article on Fangoria that mentioned this new game Directed by Andrés Borghi, whose team handled the FX in Demián Rugna’s When Evil Lurks. The game, Tenebris Somnia, has live action cut scenes. I really didn't need to hear anything more.

 

 I've not played as much as I would have liked over the weekend, but I played enough to look forward to more. The game play is taking a bit getting used to, but it's in my wheelhouse as far as styles go, and I'm not much of a gamer, so that should in no way be considered a judgement on the game itself. So far, it's doing what it promised and providing an intriguing Horror premise (alternate dimensions?). The cut scenes have been cool - nothing crazy yet, but again, I'm still early on in the game play. I'll report back when I advance further.

Playlist:

Miranda Sex Garden - Fairytales of Slavery
Goblin - Suspiria OST
The Damned - Night of 1000 Vampires
Big Black - Lungs
Type O Negative - Dead Again

Let curiosity counter writer's block, but rapid prototype things - don't be afraid to entertain new ideas and walk away from them quickly if they don't work.

Great advice. As I write this, I have a whole new angle on the third act of Shadow Play 2 in mind, but it's a stretch and I'm not sure it will work. Time to find out.

Black Pyramid - The Crypt on the Borderlands


Isn't this just the coolest name for a track? Sounds like Bernie Wrightson adapting William Hope Hodgson. 

From Black Pyramid's 2024 opus The Paths of Time Are Vast, which you can order over at Totem Cat Records HERE. It's been a minute since I've talked about these guys. Felt like the right time. Not only is this record a sonic mallet, but it has one of my favorite sleeve designs in years. 


Can't wait to hear what these guys do next.

31 Days of Halloween:

1) George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead
2) V/H/S/ playlist (Amateur Night; Safe Haven; Slumber Party Alien Abduction; Bone Storm; Dreamkill)
3) The Warriors
4) Big Trouble in Little China
5) Dreamscape
6) Infirmary
7) Beware Boiúna
8) Milk & Serial
9) Pumpkinhead
10) Deathgasm (The Last Drive-In Presentation)
11) Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings
12) Carrie (Mike Flanagan)/ John Carpenter's The Thing
13) The Roost / Return of the Living Dead III
14) Trigger Man
15) Evil Dead Burn

Watch:

Despite what I consider a HUGE misstep in Season Three, the trailer for Yellowjackets' final season just dropped and I'm excited for the show to reach its conclusion. Here's the trailer. 


I am very happy this is wrapping up with this season. I'd originally heard five seasons, but I think they're smart to end it now. I'm not sure if the issue I had at the end of Season Three will tank the rest of the show for me - I'm really hoping not - but I can say, if we don't get some resolution to the major mysteries, I'll be pissed. I love ambiguity if it's earned, but in the case of a show like this, leaving the eyeless guy or some of the other threads dangling will feel cheap. 

Playlist:

John Carpenter w/ Alan Howarth - Halloween III: Season of the Witch OST
Godflesh - Purge
Boy Harsher - Get Mean
Genital Shame - Wellness Plan (pre-release singles)
Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats - Shapes of Midnight
