We Belong Dead #44 is out, and it contains a new "Asylum for the Psychotronic" essay from my friend, writer/director Ansel Faraj, regarding the bed chambers featured in famous, horror movies.
Faraj's revealing rundown references The Uninvited (1944), Horror of Dracula, Kiss of the Vampire, The Gorgon, The Innocents, The Changeling (1980), Burnt Offerings, The Old Dark House (1935), The Black Cat (1941) and Dan Curtis' original Dark Shadows. Each astute example proves that, though they may be designed for comfort, bedrooms can add great atmosphere to any unearthly tale.
The issue also includes an avid look at horror musicals (as the Phantom of the Paradise cover conveys) and Luis Bunuel's eye-slicing surrealism (as the alternate, Un Chien Andalou cover conveys). In addition, there are articles on The Most Dangerous Game and its survivalist variants; Bing Crosby-produced, horror flicks (including Willard 1971 & The Reincarnation of Peter Proud); classic, British, horror flicks; bodacious, Bollywood, horror flicks; Abel Ferrara's vengeful assaults; Argento's Minneapolis/Trauma connection; the wry terrors of Thundercrack!; Star Wars' kaiju allusions; the BBC against the BBFC; real-deal, spectral photography; Agatha Christie's brooding side; The Festival of Fantastic Films 2024; Emma Dark's trip to The Twilight Zone; a tender tribute to the late, great David Lynch; keen-eyed dissections of Psycho 1960, The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane and Nosferatu 2024; plus more.
As one can tell, issue #44 overflows with scholarly know-how, making it an edition that all serious, cinema buffs must own.
