THE GOD OF THE RAZOR

FLOWERS OF HELL
An attempt at extreme erotica in which the erotic business is far outweighed by the extremity.
Directed By Clive Barker
Remember Clive Barker? You know, the onetime “future of horror?”
The Ten Most Overrated Horror Movies
The horror movie genre, like any other, contains more than its share of overpraised clunkers
EAT THEM ALIVE
Who the Hell is Pierce Nace? Based on the appropriately titled EAT THEM ALIVE, Nace’s only book, this author is evidently a demented fuck with a penchant for over-the-top gore and misogynistic sleaze.
CRIMSON ORGY
The first novel by Austin Williams, CRIMSON ORGY has a suitably nerdy framework: it opens and closes with articles about an obscure sixties era splatter epic called CRIMSON ORGY, which gained notoriety due to rumors that it contained footage of an actual killing. We learn what actually occurred during the making of CRIMSON ORGY in the bulk of the novel, and the production turns out to be every bit as sordid as it’s been cracked up to be.
CREEPERS
This fitfully trashy paperback original is viewed by many as a forerunner of the splatterpunk movement. Its gritty urban setting certainly sets it apart from most early-1980s horror fiction (and makes it something of a companion-piece to John Shirley’s CELLARS, which appeared the same year), although in truth CREEPERS isn’t nearly as subversive as its reputation suggests. Most of the book’s famed splatter, in fact, is confined to the final 30 pages.
THE BEYOND
This is the graphic novel adaptation of Lucio Fulci’s 1981 splatter masterpiece THE BEYOND
Remembering Chas Balun
Quite simply, there was no one like the late Charlie Richard “Chas” Balun.
The H Word
Nobody, it seems, wants to be associated with the “Horror” label.
