If I am not posting as much this week it will because I’m diving deep into the new Laura Gemser boxed set from Severin Films.

Dearest Everybody,

One of the coolest events of my entire life is happening. The fine folks at the superior Severin Films invited me to write the essays to accompany their upcoming Black Friday releases of Michele Soavi's THE CHURCH, THE SECT, and DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE aka CEMETERY MAN. If you have been around for any length of time, you know that I think DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE is legitimately one of the greatest movies ever made, and it is also deeply personal to me; I've been developing my thoughts about it for...more than 25 years, I think, and it meant everything to me to be able to publish them as part of Severin's best-in-class catalog. I mean, don't miss THE CHURCH or THE SECT either; the latter is the rarest of the three, and I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that it is one of the weirdest things I have ever seen in my life.

I can hardly believe that Severin made space for me to deliver what is basically my life's work, on the extremely great and underrated Michele Soavi. And thanks a lot, also, if you've been a Blogtober reader for any amount of time. I've been toiling in obscurity here for many years and I would continue to write compulsively even in a vacuum, but the encouragement of my friends and fans (can I even say that? idk) definitely helped me get to a place where I was even remotely qualified for this task. My heart is full. I think I can actually die now.

But actually, not until Black Friday when this stuff comes out! Check out the specs, these releases are going to be amazing. (Sorry if these IG links look all fucked up in this post, please do click through and have a look at the goods). And thanks again, for everything.

Your pal, Claire Donner

Terror begins when a night of murder and bloodshed leads bigoted police detective Joe Carlson (Bo Svenson) to try to frame orphaned high school basketball player Billy Lynch (Jimmy McNichol). However, Billy’s aunt Cheryl (Susan Tyrrell) is the real knife-wielding culprit, and with Billy about to graduate, her twisted urge to keep him all to herself is about to erupt in a wave of carnage. No one is safe when an unstable lawman and a psychotic aunt converge in a shocking climax you’ll never forget!

Our friend, horror historian Alain Petit has informed us that Denise Dax passed away last weekend at the age of 98. Dax was the last known surviving actor from Paris' notorious Theatre Du Grand Guignol wherein she was a pioneering scream queen, murdered and mutilated nightly in its later years (it closed in 1962). She took over as the theatre's leading lady after the legendary Paula Maxa (1898 - 1970) aka "the most assassinated woman in the world" moved on. The theatre was housed in a deconsecrated church on the Rue Chaptal in the seedy Pigalle district and is widely believed to have popularized splatter for entertainment. We shot a terrific interview with Dax about her time there a few years ago as part of an ongoing documentary project on Grand Guignol. RIP Denise Dax 1925 - 2023.

Severin Films created this beautiful Laura Gemser boxed set and I can honestly say that I doubt we will ever see anything so perfect released again. What an amazing time capsule tribute to a great free-spirited beauty and a time of innocence and exploration. This is the magic of cinema, and it is bonkers and bizarre.
