Put out by Wild Eye Releasing, Scary Stories peaked my interest because I’m a huge fan of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and horror novels, including those from the 70s, 80s and 90s, and also including those aimed at young readers. Whether it was Scary Stories, Point Horror or other dark tales, there’s something about children’s horror fiction from days gone by that is really nostalgic to me, and some of it is really enjoyable too. The teen classic, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, though (which will soon see an adaptation produced by Guillermo Del Toro), has to be one of the pinnacles and most well-loved of the genre, and this documentary explores it, with interviews and history about the books,...

"Flickering Empire: How Chicago Invented the U.S. Film Industry by Michael Smith and Adam Selzer offers a well-researched, in-depth chronicle of the Windy City’s role in cinema history," writes Susan Doll at Movie Morlocks.

Bushman a leg up in their careers." Subjects of more recent book reviews include David Fincher, Wes Anderson, Tennessee Williams, H.P. Lovecraft and Jack Kirby. » - David Hudson...

In case you missed it, we resurrected our old Videodrome column a few weeks back: our semi-regular showcase for the best music videos around. Since the form has given the world game-changing helmers in both the blockbuster and arthouse worlds, it's always important to keep an eye on promos, and indeed, one could argue that there's more invention to be found in the short-form than there is in features. So, with no further ado, the five best music videos we've seen in the last few weeks. As ever, any tips and suggestions are more than welcome.
Benga - "I Will Never Change" (dir. Us)
Coming from un-Googleable collective Us (aka Christopher Barrett and Luke Taylor), who won Best New Directors at last year's UK Music Video Awards, their promo for dubstep star Benga is barely a music video. In fact, technically, it's not -- it's a teaser clip for the musician's latest record,...
