I see plans within plans.”Following his underground hit Eraserhead and critically acclaimed The Elephant Man, visionary filmmaker David Lynch set his sights on bringing Frank Herbert’s beloved sci-fi novel Dune to the screen. The project had already vexed directors such as Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo) and Ridley Scott (Alien). But by the early ‘80s Universal Pictures was prepared to give Lynch the keys to the kingdom – and the highest budget in the studio’s history at the time – so that he could lend his surrealistic chops to this sprawling story of feuding space dynasties. They would also hopefully be creating a “Star Wars for adults” franchise-starter.As the hot young filmmaker commanded a cast with 42 major speaking parts as well as a crew of 1,700 (plus over 20,000 extras) on 80 sets built on 8 sound stages in Mexico, what happened next became as wild, complex, and full of intrigue as Herbert’s novel itself.Film writer Max Evry goes behind the erratic ride of David Lynch’s Dune like never before, with a years-in-the-making oral history culled from a lineup of new interviews with the film’s stars (Kyle MacLachlan, Sean Young, Virginia Madsen, etc.), creatives, film executives, and insiders – not to mention Lynch himself.David Lynch’s Dune initially left many filmgoers and reviewers scratching their heads, most dismissing the film upon its release. However, four decades and a big-budget remake later, Lynch’s Dune is finally poised to find its rightful place alongside the director’s other masterpieces such as Blue Velvet and Mullholland Drive.Max Evry’s A Masterpiece in Disarray takes you back to 1984 with the deepest dive yet into the cult classic that is David Lynch’s Dune.

Dracula is a novel by Bram Stoker, published in 1897. As an epistolary novel, the narrative is related through letters, diary entries, and newspaper articles. It has no single protagonist, but opens with solicitor Jonathan Harker taking a business trip to stay at the castle of a Transylvanian nobleman, Count Dracula. Harker escapes the castle after discovering that Dracula is a vampire, and the Count moves to England and plagues the seaside town of Whitby. A small group, led by Abraham Van Helsing, hunt Dracula and, in the end, kill him.Dracula was mostly written in the 1890s. Stoker produced over a hundred pages of notes for the novel, drawing extensively from Transylvanian folklore and history. Some scholars have suggested that the character of Dracula was inspired by historical figures like the Wallachian prince Vlad the Impaler or the countess Elizabeth Báthory, but there is widespread disagreement. Stoker's notes mention neither figure. He found the name Dracula in Whitby's public library while holidaying there, picking it because he thought it meant devil in Romanian. Read more

There was just something special about the '80s when you're talking about movies,and even more so when you're talking about "genre" pictures. It's arguably the mostimportant era for horror and sci-fi, with a large chunk of the output of the decade helping todefine where their futures would lead.Sure, the '30s were essentially the birthplace of horror, what with the Universalmonsters rearing their heads.Sure, the '50s would explode the sci-fi boom with the fear of technological advancesand growing interest in space exploration.Sure, the '70s would legitimize horror by allowing auteurs to dare to infuse a level ofhigh art into their narratives and explore deeper themes.But, none of those could touch the '80s. The '80s Project is my effort to relive the experience of the timeframe in which the films that shaped my infatuation with horror andsci-fi flourished. I decided to make an effort to watch all of the horror and sci-fi filmsreleased in the decade, in order of when they were released.Now, for the sake of brevity, and let's face it, my sanity, i can't watch EVERYTHING. SoI had to create some ground rules for how this would all work. First off, i eliminated shortfilms. To get on the Project, it would have to be a feature length film. Secondly, i cast asidethe vast majority of TV movies, although I chose to include some. Third, i had to get rid ofsome of the international entries, mainly due to just being irrelevant through an Americanperspective, but also due to availability. In order to watch them and include them here, I hadto be able to find them, and let's face it, some of the more obscure Indonesian horror filmsaren't exactly at our fingertips. That being said, I didn't want to only stick to US theatricalreleases, since that would eliminate a large number of important films. So I developed a foolproof system. I included them if I felt like it. I mainly stuck to things that I felt were eitherimportant to horror/sci-fi cinema in general, or just to my own personal experiences ofnostalgia.This volume encompasses the releases of 1980 that fall under the category of horror orsci-fi, which in my opinion includes superhero films. Each film entry will give you somedetailed information about the film itself and the basic plot setup, although I've tried to keepspoilers or major plot twists out of it in order to preserve some mystery should you chooseto seek these out for yourselves. I'll also give you my personal rating on each one, based ona five star system. I feel like I'm a bit stingy with my ratings, and reserve 5 stars for films thati consider the best of the best. They're pretty few, and far between. I will also rate the filmbased on a Cultural Significance, which I realize is a bit of an arbitrary rating, but I'll evaluateeach film on how much of an impact it had on its specific genre. The interesting thing aboutthat consideration is that it generally doesn't reflect my personal opinion on it. It may havehad a massive impact on the film world, and yet not been a great film, or vice versa. Thefinal rating each film will get is a simple recommendation. Sort of a "too long, didn't read"and will sum up each one with a suggestion to watch it, don't watch it, or maybe watch it.There's definitely films out there that I believe SHOULD be watched, even if they don'tsound exactly like something that would be up one's alley, and also ones that I'm prettyconfident that most people will not enjoy whatsoever. But there's a certain contingency offilms that I know that some people will like, and others will not, so those will be the onesgiven the "maybes." Read more

How did Friday the 13th begin as a movie about a grieving mother killing camp counselors and spawn a movie in which a nanobot enhanced, hockey masked man destroys a space station? Similarly, how did A Nightmare on Elm Street evolve from a film by Wes Craven about Freddy Krueger into a film about Wes Craven making a Freddy Krueger movie? Film series are destined to change with time, but horror film series are often unrecognizable after multiple sequels and reboots.This work examines horror films and their sequels to determine the glue that holds individual franchises together, which films matter to a series' continuity, which should be considered as canon, and what goes into the process of continuing--or, in some cases, abandoning--the overarching storyline. Series covered include Friday the 13th, Halloween, Child's Play, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Leprechaun, and Scream. Read more
