\u2022 It won’t be out until late January\u2014and then in the UK only\u2014but the blu-ray premiere of The Mystery of Picasso<\/em><\/a> (1956) by Henri-Georges Clouzot was announced this week. The initial run of the discs (there’s also a DVD) will include a booklet containing my essay about the film, something I was very pleased and honoured to be asked to write. Clouzot’s remarkable study of Picasso drawing and painting for the camera was made immediately after his masterwork, The Wages of Fear<\/em> (also newly available on UK blu-ray<\/a>), and this new edition will include two short extras, one of which, A Visit to Picasso<\/em> (1949) by Paul Haesaerts, is an excellent precursor\/companion to the main feature. More on this subject later.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At the Internet Archive: an almost complete run of The Twilight Zone Magazine<\/em><\/a> (1981\u20131989). While masquerading as a TV-series spin-off, TZ<\/em> under the editorship of TED Klein was an excellent periodical devoted to horror and dark fantasy. In addition to running original fiction by major authors (Stephen King was a regular), the magazine contained features about older writers such as Lovecraft and Machen along with book reviews by Thomas Disch, film reviews by Gahan Wilson, interviews and more.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Bram Stoker was gay,” says Tom Cardamone<\/a> in a review of Something in the Blood: The Untold Story of Bram Stoker, the Man Who Wrote Dracula<\/em> by David J. Skal. I’ve not read Skal’s book so can’t comment on its claims but his earlier Hollywood Gothic<\/em> (about Dracula<\/em> on page and screen) includes some discussion of “sexual ambiguity” in Stoker’s work.<\/p>\n
