Reviews & Commentary by Adam Groves
WINTER BROTHERS
A visual wonder from Denmark, although, as is often the case with visually evocative European films, the storytelling leaves something to be desired
THE MOVIE ORGY
The first “feature film” by Joe Dante was this mind-roasting four and a half hour found footage collage that was without precedent in 1968, and remains an eye-opener
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
The spirit of Dario Argento, spiced with more than a hint of the anything-goes vibe of Nobuhiko Obayashi’s HAUSU, is evident in this British made, Italian language oddity from 2018
THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL
Fact: everything you’ve heard about this, the notorious STAR WARS Christmas TV Special, is true
SANTA AND THE ICE CREAM BUNNY
Holiday movie imbecility from the Florida underground
GUNPOWDER
This novella proves that Joe Hill, of 20th CENTURY GHOSTS and HEART-SHAPED BOX fame, is at his best writing short pieces about children. The science fictionish GUNPOWDER, spanning a brisk 81 pages and focusing on a band of “gifted” kids, fulfills both requirements, so it’s no surprise that it’s a deeply affecting work.
GRIZZLY
The surprise, then, is how well-written this novel is, with admirably clutter-free descriptions, a semi-successful attempt at three-dimensional characterizations, and convincing descriptions of the psyche of the title character, a mutant grizzly bear.
THE GRIN OF THE DARK
I was doubly startled by THE GRIN OF THE DARK, easily Campbell’s finest book in years.
THE GREEN WOMAN
He (together with co-writer Michael Easton) takes to the form like a natural, spinning a fractured, visually oriented yarn that works extremely well in graphic form.
THE GREEN ROUND
The elusive final novel by Arthur Machen, one of horror fiction’s most distinct and influential talents.

Short Hair, Beautiful Guts, Slave Girls and Vampire Loins!
You can rest assured that a novel titled THE MAN WHO HAD HIS HAIR CUT SHORT won’t ever be mistaken for (say) ENTRAILS OF THE VIRGIN
The Horror and Fantasy Cinema of Juraj Herz
Juraj Herz is the Czech Republic’s cinematic master of all things fantastic
Nutzoid Horror Fiction
My passion for nutzoid horror fiction is hardly a secret. I can certainly appreciate a subtle and well written horror story, but really: who doesn’t enjoy a walk on the wild side?
The May 2010 Weekend of Horrors
If you’ve read any of my previous Weekend of Horrors reportage you’ll likely notice a big difference with this latest one: it’s no longer Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors
