For Your Grammy Consideration: John Carpenter’s Cathedral.
Best Contemporary Instrumental Album
Best Recording Package
Born from a nightmare, Cathedral summons listeners into a hallucinatory world of dread and darkness. Unfolding as a series of episodes tied to an abandoned church, Carpenter’s heaviest and most ominous work yet is the score to the movie in his mind.

Today marks the birthday of Donald Pleasence. He's likely most famous to most of us today as Dr. Loomis in the HALLOWEEN series, though there's much more of his work to savor. 🎃🥳🎃 dailygrindhouse.com/thewire/…
Donald Pleasence is at his demented finest in 1972's too-often-overlooked horror film DEATH LINE, aka RAW MEAT: dailygrindhouse.com/thewire/…
Donald Pleasence played the President of the United States of America in ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (1981). ✈️🗽🇺🇸 dailygrindhouse.com/thewire/…

Yes, it's true. What Fangoria is NOT telling you is that stuff you wrote 40 years ago can be DANGED EMBARRASSING when you have to say it out loud. I resisted the urge to edit my youthful silliness, though, so this is crude OG JOE BOB GOES TO THE DRIVE-IN.

Released in 1990 on this date in furious-baboon history... SHAKMA! Say it loud... SHAKMA!!! Starring Amanda Wyss, Ari Meyers, and Roddy McDowall! SHAKMA! Our pal McBeardo once named it one of the weirdest monkey movies ever made! SHAKMA! SHAKMA!!! dailygrindhouse.com/thewire/… 🐒😡🔥
“Weather patrol tells us it’ll probably hit 110 before nightfall. As for the good news: there is no fucking good news!” The post-punk post-apocalypse classic HARDWARE was released in the UK on this date in 1990! 🤖💀🇺🇸 goo.gl/0ghTLp
Released on this date in 1972… the terrifying NIGHT OF THE LEPUS, starring Janet Leigh, Stuart Whitman, Rory Calhoun, and DeForest Kelley! What is a “lepus,” you ask? Boy, if only we could keep this one a secret so you could go in blind… 🐰😉🐰 youtu.be/AA910vCNRe4?is=sELy…

BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING is top-tier Preminger. Eerie and unusual sums it up nicely although it's puzzling and challenging and provocative.
BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING opened on October 3, 1965. Directed by Otto Preminger (ANATOMY OF A MURDER), it starred Carol Lynley (THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE), Keir Dullea (2001), Sir Laurence Olivier, and Noël Coward. Such an eerie and unusual movie. 🧸 dailygrindhouse.com/thewire/…

Released in 1968 in Pittsburgh on this date in horror history... the original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, directed by George A. Romero, and starring the legendary Duane Jones! An essential horror film. Maybe even THE essential horror film. Words: bit.ly/1jOYxWg 🧟♂️🧟♀️🧟
