Quick links/Discussed in this episode:
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993): Discussion begins. Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. The perennial holiday classic gets the expected 4K UHD upgrade (in plenty of time for Halloween). Buy The Nightmare Before Christmas.
The Night of the Hunted (1980): Discussion begins. Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. Indicator continues their hi-def rollout of Jean Rollin with this odd non-vampire horror about beautiful naked women with short-term memory loss. Several new features are included along with some recycled content (including a Rollin commentary), on your choice of Blu-ray or 4K UHD. Buy The Night of the Hunted.
Piaffe (2022): Discussion begins. A foley artist finds her body transforming as she spends time recreating the sounds of a horse for a film project. Opening in New York City this week after a successful festival run, a few more North American dates will follow in late summer before it trots off to home video. Piaffe official site.
The Rape of the Vampire (1968): Discussion begins. Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. Another fine Indicator Rollin release, this time of his surreal (even by Rollin standards!) debut film; like Night of the Hunted above, it’s a limited-edition with new and archival special features on Blu-ray or UHD. Buy The Rape of the Vampire.
“Terror in the Ailien Realms” (2023): Interview begins. Pat Tremblay‘s book is a collection of 50 surreal A.I.-generated movie posters, accompanied by imaginary reviews from writers like Michael Gingold, Vincenzo Natali, and Rodney Ascher. It can be purchased directly from the author.
