Debra Hill, the producer of a few of John Carpenter's finest films, including the classic Halloween (and the first two pesky, lesser sequels that I pretend don't exist), The Fog, and Escape from New York, as well as films such as David Cronenberg's adaptation of The Dead Zone, and Terry Gilliam's The Fisher King, died today at the age of 54. For those of us who fed our imaginations with those early, fabulous Carpenter films, her death is a sad one indeed. For more info, check out the link:

Nightmare Town is the last stop before the long dark takes over, the city where logic is usurped by the infernal that lurks within us all. The inhabitants who walk these lonely streets hold no pretense of good taste or propriety. Nor do the inhabitants wander here out of fashion's sake. They have no choice but to dwell here.

Update Coming Soon!
I realize it's been awhile since my last update, but it's been pretty busy around here lately as I've been working on the next issue of the zine, among other creative endeavors. But I will post some new reviews within the next couple of days, including pieces on The Blind Swordsman--Zatoichi, Badaasssss!, Time of the Wolf, Bright Future, Old Boy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Dark Water, a bunch of Shaw Brothers kung-fu stuff, and I'm sure some other things that I've forgotten. So stay tuned if you still give a damn!
