I've begun my own little horror film that's included in an installation of my short films in the basement of 17 Nolan Park, Governors Island where West Harlem Art Fund has a group exhibit called "Loosely Coupled".

The basement setting plus two fascinating summers of 70s American, and British and Italian Horror, inspired "Il Giallo Della Paine" the 3rd film in a trio I'm calling "Upstairs in the Basement".

Here are some shots of the installation and some of the characters in the video:

Some of the players...

Giallo chic, an attempt at Hammer Glamour & Frank!

Ah, and my hero, Dr. Van Helsing!

And, of Course, Wallpaper!

Screening one more weekend: Sept. 24th and 25th! See you in The Basement!

While this wasn't my very favorite film, "Cemetery Man" was the perfect way to bid Cheerio and Arrivederci to our British and Italian film class. The trip down the road to the uncanny that started with Dead of Night:

(open) ends with another Brit, Rupert Everett, on another precipice...

Sorry to see it end, as always, but I'm looking forward to my next foray into different worlds of the horror genre (I hear it's Asian Horror) Meanwhile, I have plenty of giallo and Hammer to catch up on!

And you know I can't resist a disembodied head!
