The second of BC Magazine’s monthly horror series Cinema Macabre has been published. Among the ghoulish delights this month are -

Chris Beaumont on the pleasures of nunsploitation and Satanico Pandemonium.

Iloz Zoc takes a look at the Japanese classic The H-Man with its radioactive jelly-men.

Daniel Woolstencroft pays tribute to the late Bob Clark and the classic Deathdream.

And me? I look back at the first and best screen version of John Wyndam’s The Midwich Cuckoos – Village of the Damned staring the incomparable George Sanders.

Cinema Macabre is published on the last Friday of the month.

Over the past week I’ve written three articles for BC Magazine to commemorate the centenary of Katherine Hepburn’s birth on May 12. Katharine Hepburn Centenary: The First Lady of Cinema takes a brief look at some of the high points of the actresses long career and you’ll also find reviews of The African Queen and Rooster Cogburn.

BC Magazine will also be featuring similar articles to commemorate the births of Laurence Olivier (May 20) and John Wayne (May 26) over the next couple of weeks.
