I'm reading (for the first time and on PDFs) the 1980s reincarnation of Dez Skinn's House Of Hammer (Halls Of Horror). Although I never read these particular issues, there's still a strong sense of nostalgia thanks to the inimitable writing style of the HoH contributors.
This run is especially handy for checking out films which were still in production, in pre-production or on recent release at the time of publication. Anybody remember Unhinged or The Returning (with Susan Strasberg) from 1983?
Just perusing HoH no. 1and I read "Media Macabre will spotlight the little-seen gore epic, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" Tell the kids today there was a time when TCM was little-seen and they won't believe you.
