On radio last weekend I talked about films adaptated from books and kicked it off with Zola’s La Bete Humaine and Jean Renoir’s incredible 1938 film.
I last saw it a few summers ago at Cinematheque but realizing I’ve never watched my 16mm Janus print. We might remedy that at some point this week.
I really miss film programming.

This Halloween season is going to be pretty special to me because it’ll mark ten years since I started doing genre programming at the cinema I now run. As a volunteer, I was tasked with selecting some horror flicks for late October, and those were Bride of Frankenstein, Carrie, and Prince of Darkness — all on 35mm, as it was pre-digital. Wild to think how much time has passed.
The slate my team and I have worked up for this upcoming month is insane and I’m so excited. Some rarely-seen Japanese vampire flicks, some James Whale, a 35mm print of A Nightmare on Elm Street, and some other sweet classics. I love my job.
Rarely screened Toho vampire films, Murnau’s Faust with a live band, a 35mm print of one of the best slashers of the 1980s, an official screening partnership with the ROM’s It’s Alive! exhibit — my team has assembled a killer, killer lineup for this year’s Halloween slate, and it all begins this week.
Missing from the above: Satoshi Kon’s Paprika, a 35th anniversary screening of Ghostbusters, The Crow (25th ann!), and Halloween III: Season of the Witch on October 31 (with a bonus Super 8 surprise!)

Not hard to imagine that October is my favourite month of the year. It kicked off with me doing a multi-screen projection of horror films at a museum, screening (along with my team) 14 horror and sci-fi films at the cinema to record audiences, watching a ton of fun VHS flicks at home, and finally ending by springing an unsuspecting audience (attending a Halloween 3 screening on Halloween nite) a recently digitized Super 8 print of Assault on Precinct 13. During that month I still managed to run a business and do my weekly radio gig. It’s all fun, yes, but I’m exhausted.
You would assume that today, November 1, would have been a slow day, but no: I somehow said yes to sitting on a panel about film regulations, a topic I have many feelings/thoughts on, which resulted in the representatives of our awful provincial government being berated in front of a crowd of film community reps.
My day somehow wound down with a trip to The Beguiling, picking up the collected Mike Mignola Dracula. That’s my sole weekend plan: read that. And sleep. Glorious, overdue sleep.
