The Avant-Garde Charm Of ‘A Page Of Madness’

When we think of Japanese Horror (J Horror) we think of movies like Ju-on (‘The Grudge’) Ringu (‘The Ring’) and classics like Kwaidan but those we’re dealing with the supernatural, things that some will feel they have a zero and donuts chance of encountering or telling themselves “It’s just a movie.” But an experimental film in 1926 took everything a step further by touching on the subconscious fear of the audience, reality itself. The film, A Page of Madness was directed by Teinosuke Kinugasa and released in Japan in 1926 and was feared lost after WWII till Kinugasa rediscovered the film in 1971 in a storehouse that he hid it in.

Alice Cooper – The Icon of Music and Horror

I just want to take a moment and talk about a concert I went to. No, this is not a concert review, nor will I spend any time talking about the songs played or putting in a plug for you all to go see this show (although you should). What does this have to do with horror? Trust me, my friends. Trust me. I went and saw the unmistakeable Alice Cooper. Yes the show was amazing. Yes, he somehow still sound amazing at 69 years old. Yes, he is heavy and energetic enough to match up to any current rock show. However, none of that is what I want to talk about. The dude lives and breathes horror! His whole show is built around him being in an asylum and within those rubber walls he dances like a ghoul, and screams like a banshee while nurses inject him with goliathian needles, attack him with whips, and restrain him in strait
