Had a great time writing about 'The Jar' (1984) for @splittoothmedia's October Horror. This bizarre DIY monster movie swings big with its style and if you can ride its narcotic wavelength, you will experience something truly unique. Read about here: splittoothmedia.com/charon-t…

Francis Ford Coppola’s 'Twixt' is a film at war with itself, suffused with self-loathing and clumsy beauty. Jason Michelitch joins October Horror 2026 with a look the director's late style. splittoothmedia.com/twixt/

John Cassavetes could use his disdain for escapist filmmaking to turn in interesting performances in otherwise generic roles. In 'The Fury' and 'The Incubus,' Cassavetes is the scariest part of both films. He’s only the villain in one of them. splittoothmedia.com/john-cas…
