They Don't Make Ads Like This Anymore: The Miracle Man

July 13, 2017

Despite being released in 1919 in America, this Lon Chaney classic wasn't released in Australia until early 1920. It's as good an ad as you're likely to see, and with an image that I'm pretty sure was created by a local Australian artist.

And, you never know, a complete copy of this film might well still exist, sitting in a box in an attic somewhere...just waiting to be discovered.

100 Years Ago: The Great McEwin - Would Make A Cat LAUGH

July 10, 2017

100 years ago today I'd be buying tickets to see The Great McEwin, and if that cat didn't chuckle on it's own accord, I'd be throwing fruit at the stage. I mean, just look at those reviews. If McEwin wasn't your tonic, then I don't know that anyone could have helped you.

A few weeks later The Great McEwin was reviewed.

The Guyra Ghost Mystery - Solved?

July 09, 2017

Since I wrote about the long, lost, Australian film, "The Guyra Ghost", for Monster! #31, I became interested in the event itself. So I immersed myself into the mystery and felt, as always, that there was far more to this than what we've always read. And I was right.

For, you see, I believe I've uncovered the person responsible for at least part of the so called haunting. I won't name that person here, or why I suspect them, but, suffice to say, the book that I will be publishing as a limited edition will explain all.
