There was a sense of wonder and occasional disbelief when scouring the horror section of independent video stores during their heyday, coming across a vampire covered with bubbling, oozing flesh, or an eyeball laying on the ground still tethered to its socket by various icky tissues, or a head split in two, the tongue unfurled between the crevice like a Fruit Roll-up.
Graveface Publishing presents Justin Burning’s debut book, HAND-HELD HELL, a morbidly curious look at 44 outrageous works of underground cinematic horror created during and inspired by the technological, cultural, and historical circumstances of the home-spun horror era, including in-depth interviews with 22 audacious filmmakers like Mark Polonia (Splatter Farm), Nathan Schiff (The Long Island Cannibal Massacre), Tim Ritter (Truth or Dare? A Critical Madness), Donald Farmer (Cannibal Hookers), Fred Vogel (August Underground), Brian Paulin (Bone Sickness), and Scott Schirmer (Found). The 376-page, full-color trade paperback is an irreverent tribute to gonzo DIY horror filmmaking, with an original cover illustration by Chad Keith.
All purchases include a free code to download a companion EP featuring six tracks composed by Justin.

Animée par la professeure titulaire au département de sexologie de l’UQAM, Julie Lavigne, une discussion avec Éric Falardeau et Bruce LaBruce sur l’érotisme et la pornographie dans une perspective d’auteur. Dans leurs œuvres, la représentation frontale de la sexualité est-elle un geste politique? Esthétique? Ludique?
Hosted by Professor Julie Lavigne from the sexology department at UQAM, Éric Falardeau and Bruce LaBruce will discuss eroticism and pornography from an auteur perspective. Is the explicit representation of sex in their work a political gesture? Aesthetic? Or playful?
Parmi celles-ci, une discussion entre l’iconoclaste auteur et la punaise de lit du cinéma québécois qui sera précédée d’une chaude projection le 12 octobre 2022. Après Berlin, Anvers, et d’autres villes européennes, ce sera enfin l’occasion de voir en salle mon moyen métrage The Thing From The Lake réalisé pour Adult Time (format DCP), en programme double avec un court métrage de LaBruce tourné pour Le studio d’Erika Lust.
