Focusing on the undeniably underappreciated, I'm so fortunate that I get to explore the midnight movie macabre for @starburst.bsky.social! From black vampirism to cyberpunk fetishism!

Fade to Black (1980)
X: The Man with the X-ray Eyes (1963)
Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)

Nick Freand Jones: "[Alex Cox] was outspoken, he was very political, he didn't suffer fools gladly, and he had very distinct tastes."

Alex Cox: "...you can't decide to make a cult film. If you intend to make a cult film, you will fail... you will fail really, really badly."

From 1988 until 1994, Alex Cox presented Moviedrome every Sunday night on BBC2, curated by Nick Freand Jones.

For @starburst.bsky.social, in anticipation of BFI bringing the cult TV series to the big screen this July & August, I've asked Alex & Nick to return to the Moviedrome... 📺

For @starburst.bsky.social #490, I explore Vernon Zimmerman’s blood-splattered love letter to the Golden Age of Hollywood! FADE TO BLACK (1980) is an underseen psychological midnight movie overshadowed by a grotesque yet gorgeous spectrum of slashers!

For @starburst.bsky.social #489, I explore Roger Corman's most interesting and offbeat horror movie, 1963's X: THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES. Remember, “if thine eye offends thee… pluck it out!”

For @starburst.bsky.social #488, I explore Shinya Tsukamoto's 1989 monochromatic ode to cyberpunk fetishism, TETSUO: THE IRON MAN. Complimented by a relentless industrial score, Tetsuo led to an increasingly horrific new wave of 90's J-Horror.

Shout out to all the people in the horror community who are good folks that actually support others, hold the door open for newcomers, who put the actual work in and genuinely want to make the space (whether it’s IRL or online) a great place for everyone. Y’all are the best. 🖤

“Darkness falls across the land / The midnight hour is close at hand / Creatures crawl in search of blood / To terrorise y’all’s neighbourhood…”

I've written a few words for @attackplanetb.bsky.social confirming why #VincentPrice is widely regarded as a cinematic icon of the horror genre!

From Halloween, The Thing, and Escape from New York, to Lost Themes I-IV, I explore why John Carpenter is considered an auteur of the macabre in THE TRICK WAS TO STAY ALIVE: A JOHN CARPENTER RETROSPECTIVE! 🔪🎃

STARBURST MAGAZINE @starburst.bsky.social · Jun 27

Few filmmakers have delivered as consistently & as brilliantly as JOHN CARPENTER since his 1974 debut DARK STAR. Ken Wynne gives the director the retrospective treatment in our latest issue & finds out that he's nowhere near done yet!
