This blog is my notepad as I research a nonfiction book spotlighting 3-D genre films of the last century. While the book will focus primarily on films from the 60's, 70's and 80's this blog has no restrictions.

MONTH OF THE MASK SPILLS INTO DECEMBER


Well sort of.

This month's issue of Rue Morgue Magazine way over on pg 47 has a feature on The Mask, written by yours truly. It includes a few choice quotes from the film's late director, Julian Roffman's son.

I have to admit I dig the cover. It is an awesome fusion of the poster art for Mario Bava's anthology film Black Sabbath, replacing Boris Karloff's image with Tony Iommi's, lead singer for the original metal band Black Sabbath. Where do you think they got their name from?


It's on the stands now and available at Yudu.com and the Apple App Store, if you want to check it out.
