When One Line Isn’t Enough

  • Filmstalker has the scoop on an interesting episode involving one of the two recently produced Bathory films. Two of the production staff held the film for ransom, threatening to leak it to the internet unless they were paid GB £12,000. Visit Filmstalker to see how it all panned out.
  • This article over at Pop Matters attempts to graph the number of horror movies produced each year for the past eight decades and tries to explain the trends that are uncovered. It’s all a bit unscientific (the data is obtained from IMDB), but for what it is it’s fascinating reading and there were a few facts that took me completely by surprise.
  • In a similar vein, The Guardian has an interesting essay on the evolution of scholarly debate on the horror film and where it is currently failing in the fight against censorship.
