The House of Psychotic Women UK Tour is presented by Matchbox Cine as part of In Dreams Are Monsters: A Season of Horror Films, a UK-wide film season supported by the National Lottery and BFI Film Audience Network. Bostonian culture journalist Andy Crump covers the movies, beer, music. Like Janisse’s text, it’s a new essential. The influential tome has also played no small role in canonising a range of obscure, fringe and forgotten genre titles, many now considered essential. House of Psychotic Women: Rarities Collection facilitates that expansion. Janisse’s ground-breaking mix of keen critical analysis and clear-eyed, thoroughly compelling memoir inspired a generation of critics, programmers and film-makers. Severin Films is now accepting pre-orders.
