Screening in St. Augustine FL.

I just wanted to let everyone know that FBN is being shown today by the Weird Film Society of St. Augustine down here in Florida.

Here's a link to the Myspace event page with the the address and other info about the event.

Cult Radio A-Go-Go Audio Interview

I just wanted to thank Terry and Tiffany over at Cult Radio A-Go-Go for doing a live interview with me during Saturday Night's show where I discussed FBN and other horror/cult movie-related topics. The internet feed runs 24/7 but they've recently been doing some excellent live show during the weekends where are turning out to be a lot of fun.




You can listen to the isolated interview segment here, though I believe it might end up in the show's daily rotation.

More Misc. Notes

The JRH Films website has been updated slightly with a bit more contents and images of the front and back of the DVD which you can find by clicking on the DVD covers on both the front page and "store" page.

I also just noticed that the blog Zombiemart ran a short piece on the FBN DVD. Creature Corner and Sleazegrinder also made mention of the DVD as well. The DVD was also Polly Staffle's Pick of the Week. The film is also mentioned as a footnote in SF, Fantasy and Horror Review's piece on Frankenstein (1931).

Wow, June

So the Frankenstein DVD is out, it's June and not much is going on. I've recieved so many comments and questions dealing with the sound design of FBN that I just finished working on this nearly hour-long documentary where I take people step-by-step through the creation of the film's 5.1 Dolby Digital track. I share a few tips, expose a few more secrets and just generally babble on about everything from doing all the foley myself, dubbing the film and even composing the entire score using a pc keyboard. I think it's interesting stuff. I'm going to try to get this documentary out there later this year.


I guess most of the end of May was taken up with dealing with the Unearthed Films DVD. I only had a chance to catch two films - Schrader's Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters and Melville's Army of Shadows. Melville as usual is just brilliant. For some odd reason, WWII movies almost always have cool-sounding titles like Army of Shadows, Slaughterhouse Five, Overlord, etc. Even if you don't like the movies you know you're in for some kickass title which you'll feel good about saying to your friends.I had seen Mishima many years ago on VHS and this new DVD with the new english narration by someone other than Roy Scheider made for an interesting listen. Overall, I'd say the experience is about the same. Apparently Criterion is slated to re-release Mishima later this year.
