World Within the World : Collected Minicomix & Short Works 2010-2022 Available November 26

#horror – #horrorcomics – #comicbooks – #WorldWithintheWorld – @fantagraphics – #JuliaGfrörer –

By: Julia Gfrörer

Collecting over 30 rare works of short fiction tinged with horror and eroticism by one of comics’ most distinct voices, spanning over 20,000 years from the Stone Age to the apocalypse.

Julia Gfrörer is quietly one of the most influential cartoonists of her generation. Emerging from the Portland scene at the height of the Obama era, her comics augured the dark times to come, using graphic sex, pitch-black horror, a hunger for exploring the past, and a line cruel as a whip to create her own unmistakable sense of millennial melancholy. Reflecting her DIY ethos, much of her work has only been available in self-published zines or independent anthologies, many of them rare or out-of-print ― until now. World Within the World features 30 of Gfrörer’s short stories, culled from a decade of writing and drawing at the bleeding edge of the art form. Her tales of desire, despair, and the universal need for connection span centuries, continents, and cultures from prehistoric teenagers in love to Christian martyrs in the making to modern-day vampires on the make. Along the way her bold, confident work leads the reader to some unexpected places, whether erotica inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe or a post-apocalyptic parody of Frasier.

In World Within the World, there is no distinction between the realistic and the fantastic, the psychological and the supernatural, the modern and the medieval, the mundane and the sublime ― just the artist’s unflinching vision of how it feels to be human, no matter when or where.

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheTenant – #VinegarSyndrome – @VinegarSyndrome –

Trelkovsky, freshly arrived in Paris, is in desperate need of a place to live. After inquiring at a large apartment complex run by the brooding Monsieur Zy, he’s offered the room of Simone Choule, a resident who recently attempted suicide by throwing herself out of the window. Undeterred by this macabre event, Trelkovsky is happy to move in. Shortly thereafter, he meets Stella, Simone’s friend, and does his best to comfort and befriend her. Quickly integrating into Stella’s bohemian social scene, Trelkovsky hopes that his life is finally turning a corner; that is, until his new neighbors begin acting strangely, making wild accusations against him, and displaying increasingly sinister and violent behaviors. As the weeks go on, Trelkovsky begins to suspect that something is very wrong in the stuffy old building and that Simone’s fatal plunge might not have been her own doing…

From maverick director Roman Polanski (Chinatown, Rosemary’s Baby) comes one of the most unusual and unsettling studio thrillers of the 1970s: The Tenant. Adapted from Roland Topor’s cult novel, Polanski casts himself in the lead, offering a uniquely demented and outrageously funny performance, and is supported by Melvyn Douglas (The Changeling), Shelly Winters (Night of the Hunter, Lolita), and Isabelle Adjani (Possession). Featuring cinematography by two-time Oscar® winner Sven Nykvist (Cries and Whispers) along with an original score by acclaimed composer Philippe Sarde (La Grande Bouffe), Vinegar Syndrome is thrilled to present the 4K UHD debut of The Tenant, newly and exclusively restored in 4K from its original camera negative and featuring a wide array of new and archival extras including an expanded interview with Polanski himself.

He is shocked to discover that Lila’s husband, Dr. von Altermann (Carradine), is secretly a Nazi madman who has been perfecting a way to turn the dead, including Lila, into an army of zombies who will serve Hitler! Simultaneously spine-chilling and rib-tickling, Revenge of the Zombies was “the first movie to presume the audience knows what a ‘zombie’ is and not provide an explanation” (The Zombie Movie Encyclopedia). With Gale Storm, Robert Lowery, Mantan Moreland, Bob Steele and James Baskett; directed by cult-movie maven Steve Sekely (The Day of the Triffids).

Night lays bare the planning, botched execution, and grisly aftermath of an attack on a brood of lethal vampires. Leading the deadly pack is Anthony Garring (Richard Cutler), once a rum-runner, now a crack-dealing suburban bloodsucker.

With a new transfer from the original master VHSHITFEST could not be happier to awaken this lost film from its tomb.

Karnal (1983) Available November 26

#horror – #horrormovies – #Karnal – #Kani –

A fork in the road brings Narcing (Phillip Salvador) back to his hometown of Mulawin, rumored to be located not so far from Hell. Freshly married, he arrives from Manila in the hopes of introducing his wife Puring (Cecille Castillo) to his relatives. Gusting (Vic Silayan), the family’s domineering patriarch, does not welcome the couple kindly. Still scarred by the suicide of wife, Gusting immediately resents his son for what he perceives as a betrayal: the loss of land-owning heritage to the vulgarity of city women. Spite mingles with jealousy, turning to something altogether more sinister when Narcing’s behavior begins mirroring that of his father who, in turn, begins noticing Puring’s uncanny resemblance to his wife.

Following Brutal (1980) and Moral (1982), Marilou Diaz-Abaya closes her informal feminist trilogy with Karnal, a striking example of Filipino Gothic set in the 1930s. Inspired by a sordid true crime story, what begins as archetypal Filipino melodrama soon turns to horror: a Village of the Damned-inspired study of the places that turn people into monsters and of the cruel, feudalistic patriarchy that continues to have deadly repercussions for Philippines politics today. The latter is embodied brilliantly by Vic Silayan, on the heels of a similar, monstrous turn as a tyrannical father in Kisapmata (1981).

Hollywood 90028 (1973) Available November 26

#horror – #horrormovies – #Hollywood90028 – #GrindhouseReleasing –

Hollywood 90028 shows the dark side of the L.A. dream in the bleak and downbeat story of an aspiring movie cameraman turned serial murderer. Mark (Christopher Augustine) is a disturbed loner who toils in the sub-basement of the movie business as a cameraman shooting porno films for swinish boss Jobal (Dick Glass). In his off hours, Mark prowls the peep shows and strip clubs of Los Angeles to prey on random young women who he picks up and strangles to death. When Mark pursues a romantic interest in Michelle (Jeannette Dilger), a model who he films in one of Jobal’s sleazy movies, the grim reality behind the fantasy leads the frustrated cinematographer to shoot a different kind of Hollywood ending. Written and directed by esteemed experimental filmmaker Christina Hornisher, and beautifully captured through the lens of camera operator Jean-Pierre Geuens, who later shot the horror classic Lemora: A Child’s Tale Of The Supernatural, Hollywood 90028 offers a vivid time capsule of Los Angeles in the early 1970s.

Gut Pile (1998) Available November 26

#horror – #horrormovies – #GutPile – #SaturnsCore –

While on a solo hunting expedition, Dan (Jeff Forsyth) accidentally shoots and kills a fellow hunter. With no one in sight for miles aside from a lifeless scarecrow in a nearby field, he buries the hunter deep in the woods to conceal his misdeed. One year later, Dan returns to the cabin with his buddies for a weekend of hunting and partying. Unfortunately for his oblivious friends, an evil entity in the form of an axe-wielding scarecrow promptly returns for vengeance upon their arrival. After finding his companions dismembered, disemboweled, and displayed like hapless trophies, Dan must survive until dawn in a frantic fight for both his life and sanity.

In 1998, Syracuse, New York based filmmaker Jerry O’Sullivan combined the concepts from two of his early Super 8 shorts to create an eminently exciting and entertaining Evil Dead-inspired, SOV killer scarecrow romp. Starring fellow Syracuse micro-budget filmmakers Ron Bonk (The Vicious Sweet) and Jeff Forsyth (Children of the Sky) alongside the inimitable indie legend Sasha Graham (Addicted to Murder, Polymorph), Gut Pile triumphs with its impressive practical splatter FX and mind-boggling, Raimi-inspired camera gymnastics. Saturn’s Core is proud to present Gut Pile newly restored and jam packed with a veritable trophy wall of new and archival special features including (for the first time ever) the Super 8 short films that helped inspire its creation.
