All horror, all the time. Mostly film, but some books too. And random thoughts about fear, violence, and the art of storytelling. And the pleasure of a pop culture obsession.

Incubus

I lost track of TCM underground for a while. In Alaska it appeared at a reasonable hour, while here in the good old eastern time zone it really is the middle of the night. But I have mastered the DVR and just watched this really strange movie.

Leslie Stevens directed this in 1965 right after Twilight Zone was cancelled. A very young William Shatner has the same trouble with evil young blonds that Captain Kirk would have later.

And this is the only movie ever made in Esperanto. Now that is a strange idea. It does give the whole muddled mess an other-worldly quality.
