http://arbogastonfilm.blogspot.com/ - An Investigation Into the Mystery of Cinema That Can End Only with My Death
One of the ways that we tend to torture ourselves as thinking animals - fearing as we do that we have no place in this world, no purpose, no effect - is by imagining a worst case scenario in which we learn that we do have a place, a purpose, an effect ... but that said purpose will consume us, ...

If you're in the greater New York area (or even in the not so great parts, for that matter - Perth Amboy, represent!) on Friday, November 20th at 8 of the clock, you should let your floppy, boneless legs carry you to to 92Y Tribeca (which is to say, the year-old downtown branch of the 92nd ...

One comes first to ROSEMARY'S BABY (1968) for
the Devil... and every time thereafter for the details.For
me, the fresh revelations in this now 41 year-old film revolve around the character of Guy Woodhouse (John Cassavetes), husband to the ...

... are in order for two lights of the horror game - one megawatt, one fairy. On this day in 1847, Abraham "Bram" Stoker was born in the Dublin suburb of Clontarf, Ireland. The third of seven children born to Abraham and Charlotte Stoker, Bram was a sickly youth, bedridden until the age of 7. A ...

... the Horror Blog is back. Out of the game for a little over a year, the site was once a sweet clubhouse for a whole clutch of us film bloggers with a passion or at least an interest in horror. Lists, roundtables, and opinions galore (plus Steven's wonderful illustrations)... and nobody ever ...

Ever since I included Elsa Lanchester's BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935) in my 31 Screams round-up for this Halloween, I've been thinking of her brief and troubled "marriage" to the Frankenstein Monster. These two beat even Britney Spears and that guy she was married to for 55 hours a few years ago. ...

While I skipped through NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968) this morning I found this brief exchange between Tom (Keith Wayne) and Ben (Duane Jones) that I'd never really noticed before. It occurs just before the protagonists make their first proactive move to flee the farmhouse together. They're ...

Forget about the feckin' f'ugly keepcase art, which
makes John Huston's THE DEAD (1985) look like a
winsome MOONSTRUCK (1987)-style rom-com about a dreamy old spinster who finds love at long last - the reason this Lionsgate release has to be killed ...

THE DEAD, it's all messed up
This innocuous Disney retread is okay, I guess, but The Rock is no Eddie Albert, I'll tell you what. What's remarkable about RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN (2009) is how instantly recognizable are child actors Kimberly Richards and Ike Eisenmann in oh-so-slightly winking cameos - especially given that ...

It's almost fitting that Michael Almereyda's NADJA (1995) is largely lost within the annals of vampire cinema, as the film is governed by fragments of remembrance and the shadows of suppressed emotions. Nowhere near a box office hit at the time of its limited theatrical release, NADJA got a lot ...

And we come again to the end of another Halloween season and our second go-round of 31 Screams. Batting clean up this year is Barbara Steele in the climactic frames of Mario Bava's BLACK SUNDAY (1960). Seized at the apotheosis of her dastardy by a mob of swarthy, superstitious locals, Steele's ...

This is a first. I mean that quite literally. Very few horror movies toss us a scream screamed by a screamer on their very first (and, as it happens in this case, very last) day alive. But that's what makes BRIDE OF FRAKNESTEIN (1935) such a pisscutter. Elsa Lanchester's monster-demanded mate is ...
