TOMMORROW on 3/26 at 2pm EST, the Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies is back online with an intro to Hauntology by William Burns, drawn from his forthcoming Headpress book Ghost of an Idea: Hauntology and the Spectre of Nostalgia. This critical lens uses ghostly metaphor to interrogate nostalgia, which has seeped into many aspects of 21st century horror. The fascination with the past, as seen in subgenres like folk horror and the urban wyrd, is a response to our changing sociopolitical and technological conditions—and it gains power as we move into a future where human memory and access to the past are being radically transformed. Professor Burns will examine the writing of H.P. Lovecraft, Alan Moore, Nigel Kneale, and Rod Serling; films like THE SHINING, DON’T LOOK NOW, and THE LAST WAVE; TV programs such as Sapphire and Steel, and Dark Shadows; and music from Boards of Canada, Broadcast, The Caretaker, and the Ghost Box Records label.

This talk is especially exciting for me to host since it reaches beyond the familiar lines of film analysis and into the music world. Not to knock the film fanatics--I'm one of them!--but there's a lot more to horror than what reaches the big screen. There is truly a little something for everyone in this expansive lecture, so remember: If you absolutely must skip school, a recording is available upon request! Tix below--and be warned, they're going fast:

Corman/Poe: Interviews and Essays Exploring the Making of Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe Films, 1960-1964 by horror journalist Chris Alexander is out now in paperback and e-book via Headpress.

It explores the series of eight Edgar Allan Poe adaptions directed by Roger Corman: House of Usher, The Pit and The Pendulum, Tales of Terror, Premature Burial, The Raven, The Haunted Palace, The Masque of the Red Death, and Tomb of Ligeia.

The 150-page book features in-depth interviews with Corman book-ended by critical analyses of each of the eight films along with photographs and stills. Corman also provides a foreword.

Produced on modest budgets for American International Pictures, Roger Corman's adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe stories were popular in their time as escapist horror cinema. Most starred horror icon Vincent Price and were written (and "freely adapted") by the likes of Richard Matheson, Charles Beaumont and Robert Towne. Today the series is recognized as unique and sophisticated, one that delivers decadent Gothic chills while exploring ideas of faith, sexuality, psychology and the supernatural.

Corman/Poe: Interviews and Essays Exploring the Making of Roger Corman’s Edgar Allan Poe Films, 1960–1964 is the only book to fully examine this important chapter in horror film history. In-depth conversations with the maverick Roger Corman are book-ended by engaging critical analyses of each of the eight films, which together stand as a fully realized and consistent creative vision.

The book is illustrated with dozens of photographs and stills, many of which have never been published before, and features a brand-new foreword from Corman.

Order Corman/Poe by Chris Alexander.

"Merry Christmas!" Stanley beams. "I dont know if you celebrate, but I always use this time to appreciate my friends! And I really wanted to get you something."

He's brought along some chocolate pralines and - what's that, meat? Fresh and bloody, from the smell of it.

Bor makes a soft bleat when Stanley chimes out, oh they love the gifts and truly care for their fellow co-worker but... Christmas always left them... Hm... A little humbuggy. But they're gonna give Stanley a chance with this, it doesn't smell too bad- Actually it smells like flesh and coppery liquid! Where did he get this?

Okay!! Okay! Looks like their grumpy pants were whisked away from the smell of this! "Ah, Stanley! Grazie! thank you thank you! How did you get it? Where did ya get it?? Do ya want something in turn, just name it, I can get it!" Bor crouched down and gave him a grateful headpress! Rumble rumble purr purr!
