The Fall/Winter edition of Screem celebrates the 35th anniversary of The Phantom of the Paradise. We interview several cast and crew members who reminisce about this cult classic flick. Next up, we dig into the film career of the notorious Church of Satan leader Anton LaVey. You’ll learn about his work in such horror films as The Car, The Devil’s Rain, and, Satanis. Also featured in this issue are interviews with directors HG Lewis (2000 Maniacs, Blood Feast), William Grefe (Death Curse of Tartu, Stanley), and Greydon Clark (Without Warning, The Bad Bunch). Long time Screem contributor David Wilt enlightens us about the weird world of Mexicana cinema, and the always entertaining Greg Goodsell gives us a sneak peek at a new horror film titled Red Velvet. Ken McIntyre is back with another fun Wrong Way Home column, and we round out the issue with a large amount of Blu-ray and DVD reviews.

I met the publishers at the Chiller Theater Convention and they were offering a free DVD with the purchase ot the latest issue. I figured for the cover price you can't go wrong. When I got back to the hotel room, I managed to read the article on Brian DePalma's classic thriller The Phantom Of The Paradise and I realized I was hooked. The magazine had a great feel, slick and durable, great writing, spot-on reviews, interesting articles and interviews and even though the magazine dealt mainly in the horror genre, it seemed to nicely fill the niche of such fallen publications as Psychotronic Video and Cult films. I went down to the dealer the next day, bought a few more back issues and wished them all the success in the world.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
I'm reading "Island of the Lost: Shipwrecked at the Edge of the World," a true story based firmly on ship's records, diaries of survivors, etc. set in the late 1800s off the coast of Auckland Island. Two ships and two crews amazingly are shipwrecked on the same uninhabited (for a good reason) island, twenty miles or so apart. One crew survives admirably - the other crew meets one tragedy after another. What were the differences?

An excellent study of human nature in the face of huge difficulties. If you're like me and love stories of the high seas, tall ships, and adventure - you'll really like this!

About to start The blind watchmaker by Dawkins and hopefully after that, Freud and psychoanalysis ,a book written by an Israeli professor and psychiatrist/psychoanalyst/psychotherapist (Pinchas Noy), the book presents the theories and methods of Freud according to their historical development, while trying to dwell on the clinical problems Freud was busy with in each stage, and how he tried answering them, and what made him change and develop new models and theories.

So far it's very interesting. Well written. I like that it is sticking very closely to recorded eye witness accounts.

I am a sucker for any book about pirates, shipwrecks, the high seas, mutiny, and all that other deliciously bad stuff!

One of my ancestors sailed with Captain Cook so maybe I can't help myself.
