WISE WORDS:

 

MR. LOBO'S CINEMA INSOMNIA: JERSEY DEVIL'S NIGHT, LIVE STREAM ON TWITCH (10/30)

Mr. Lobo presents a special, Cinema Insomnia, live-stream event on Twitch, October 30, starting at 10pm and ending at midnight (the advent of Halloween). As a special treat, the presentation will feature Bill Reeds' folk-horror documentary, Mother Leeds' 13th Child

The 1974, New Jersey Public Broadcasting production weaves Lenape/Pine Barrens lore, with an emphasis on the Leeds legend, as narrated by lead-in, Jack Wiseman, and hosted by Phil Sheridan who serves eyewitness testimony and conjecture on the demon. There's even a fond lookback on the Devil's infamous, kangaroo hoax and melodious tunes by George Taweel to flavor the account. 

Along with the feature segment, Mr. Lobo will spread mischievous mirth for Insomniacs of all ages--and you are there, as the jubilation rolls with prize drawings and a Mr. Lobo draw-along. In addition, NJ cuisine and general culture will be shared and celebrated, granting a substantial sum of Garden State authenticity to the proceedings.  

Be certain to tap Twitch on October 30 to experience this lively, Halloween precursor; and as an added treat, the prelude will be followed by a "misunderstood" marathon of Cinema Insomnia episodes, available for viewing on Twitch, Amazon Fire & Roku!

HAPPY BACK TO THE FUTURE DAY 2024 (10/21)

CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN: KARLOFF/LUGOSI IN THE BLACK CAT

Castle of Frankenstein #40 delivers a devilish, Halloween treat, commemorating the 1934, first-time teaming of Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi in the Art Deco adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's The Black Cat. (Scott Jackson's cover sure does pay vivid reverence to the movie's sinister stars; would you not agree?) 

Issue #40 also offers insightful words on author Richard Matheson, covering his work on The Twilight Zone, his big breakthrough, The Incredible Shrinking Man, and his superb, Poe adaptations for Roger Corman and AIP.  

To strengthen the fantastic queue, there are articles on the frightful and figurative From; the 1950s, horror rebirth; sexy, cave chicks; premature burials and weird deaths; diligent, grave robbing; and a detailed speculation on Henry Frankenstein's fate (after Bride of ...), embellished by in-depth, movie reviews; cracklin', monster cartoonery; and that ol' feisty standby, the Slaymate of the Month.

Castle of Frankenstein #40 is one to own and keep!
