From 1989-97 Ohio’s Blade Independent Studios released 17 feature films, most of which are lost to time. One that remains available is 'A Darker Light,' a dread-tinged piece of vampire revisionism. Vincent Albarano explores Blade's history for October Horror!

Many directors have played God on and off screen, but no one has more thrillingly played the Devil than writer-director-star Benjamin Christensen in 'Häxan.'

A horror film shrouded in drama, a psychological thriller embedded in a character study, David Cronenberg's 'Dead Ringers' (1988) captures the master of body horror at a moment of stylistic mutation.

Gary P. Cohen has always made art with the people around him, including two films, 'Video Violence' and its sequel, that became mainstays of SOV horror. Aaron Bartuska spoke with Cohen about his varied artistic endeavors and the legacy of his horror films.

Do you read Sutter Cane?

Venture into the nightmare world of John Carpenter's 'In the Mouth of Madness' with filmmaker Steve Collins: www.splittoothmedia.com/in-the-mouth...

Carpenter convincingly presents the experience of reading on film as the inverse of Misery, in which an author swallows his audience.

Incredibly excited to kick off October Horror with my look at Jim Van Bebber’s short films. Roadkill and My Sweet Satan are two of his strongest works, offering particularly nightmarish visions of Ohio.

There are great pieces in store this year, and I have another Ohio piece coming down the line!

With an emphasis on the horrors of small-town existence, ‘Roadkill’ and ‘My Sweet Satan’ are as crucial to Jim Van Bebber’s filmography as his infamous features. Vincent Albarano kicks things off for October Horror 2025 with some Ohio desolation!

'Mikey and Nicky' (1976) is Elaine May’s best and darkest film. Read about how her stage comedy roots found their way into her film work, and how she collaborated with stars John Cassavetes and Peter Falk.
