John Oak Dalton

Enjoy!

For my own viewing, I didn't get to see a lot of new ones, but I did finally face my childhood fears and watch PHANTASM. When I was a teenager, my friend Eric Mayse (who would later, famously, be sculpted as this action figure), described the plot to be in such a way that I was too terrified to watch it. And that was a terrible oversight, as it is a crazy, dream-like film that would have appealed to my teenage sensibilities back in the 80s.

Along those lines I also watched CENSOR, which is about a British censor in the early 80s watching "video nasties" and recommending cuts, even as her personal life starts to unravel.

And even more along those lines, my old b-movie pal thought I would like BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW, and he was right, a movie set in the 80s about a young psychic being held prisoner in a weird institute.

So if you like my movies, any of these three are worth a look.

A movie I wrote, NOAH'S SHARK, is supposed to street next week, so I will report back when I see it, though I assume it is crazy. My good friends at Film Scene screened it a few weeks ago, but I unfortunately had car trouble on that very day and couldn't make it. I would have liked to have known how it played.

Have a good Halloween!
