Clive Barker's "Salome" and "The Forbidden": Two Short Films (1973)
It is hard to reconcile the young, chipper, handsome Clive Barker, the horror author and film fantasist of an undeniably boyish countenance, who held the sway of even the venerable Stephen King (who declared him the "future of horror" in the late 1980s) with the ravaged, haggard figure we see in contemporary photographs. Barker, despite whatever health problems and personal demons he has wrestled with over the decades, has maintained an output often bordering on brilliance; a steady, if underappreciated oeuvre of chilling depictions of man's possession by infernal forces, his exploration, and capitulation to these dark shades of desire and pain; his seeking out of doorways into Hell, pathways into darkness parallel to our own.

Tangled in Webs. Top Story - July 2023. Content Warning.
We can all relate to the single truth that no one has a say in the circumstances into which they're born. No one's given the choice of the skin they wear or the name they inherit. Yet, ironically, we're all guilty of judging one another for those things. Might that be because we all secretly judge ourselves so harshly, and the only way to cope with our imperfections is to find them in others? Or can it be that we're all so envious, jealous, and covetous of one another, but are too afraid to admit these faults? Who knows? Does it really matter? It's a riddle we'll never be able to solve.

Phantasm
"You play a good game, Boy! But the game is finished! Now you die!" --The Tall Man The cadaverous visage of the late actor Angus Scrimm, a man whose very name is as perfect for a supernatural horror villain as any I could conceive, holds forth as the menacing, extraterrestrial cum supernatural dream demon the "Tall Man, " in the original Phantasm, a film so perfectly perfect that it is hard to determine if the director was blessed by the Fates or simply made a pact with the Devil to turn out a picture I have seen repeatedly, and never failed to delight at.
