Time for everyone’s favourite pagan ritual summoning holiday that has diminshed into a obnoxiously commercial and lukewarm puddle of marshmellows and lager, which still tries desperately to make us believe that we’ve been scared, and therefore entertained, by the yearly cashcrabbing, money-making, pumpkin-baking activity, which only leads to the feeling of total disillusionment and confusion what was the point of this sentence anyway!

When the time comes, Happy Halloween, folks!

NOTHING IS QUITE THERE is the title and it’s appropriate for the season. It slowly creeps in with a bang, bang & bang.

The movie I last saw in theater was “The Beyond” (1981) by the legendary smut-meister Lucio Fulci. (My last movie theater visit was like a month ago, not in 1981. It was a 4K super-duper remix) I think something from that movie carried over to our tune here. In spirit I mean, not in a taking musical influence sort of way, because the music in the movie was jazz-rock fusion, and mine’s not.

Yes, there’s some bangs (to the head), and then there’s some actual music. Off you go to the madness, in fun ofc.

Ahh, Italian horror films. There’s just something about them. Weird dubbing, unconventional plots & scores, (over)acting paired with imaginative photography, genuinely unsettling special effects, being very, very classy and trashy at the same time, and end credits that roll right after the last kill.
