Today for October Horror, @memoryendowment looks back on ‘Last House on Dead End Street’ filmmaker Roger Watkins’ later career, a period in which he crafted some of the saddest and spookiest high-art adult films to ever grace grindhouse screens. splittoothmedia.com/roger-wa…

John Cassavetes could use his disdain for escapist filmmaking to turn in interesting performances in otherwise generic roles. In 'The Fury' and 'The Incubus,' Cassavetes is the scariest part of both films. He’s only the villain in one of them. splittoothmedia.com/john-cas…

And to tie into the zine, check out my new piece on Blade Independent Studio’s long-running, hopelessly obscure Witchface series. These are the pinnacle of Ohio slasher marginalia, and the perfect seasonal watches.
With the first volume of his Ohio Project zine series available now, @BigVinVader explores Blade Independent Studio’s Witchface films, an ambitious SOV slasher series set in Ohio from 1989 to 1994, for October Horror. splittoothmedia.com/witchfac…
