It's been quite a while since I last posted on this blog, mainly because I've been hard at work on two new books. The first is a monograph on Spielberg's
Close Encounters of the Third Kind for Auteur Publishing. This book is now submitted and I'll post updates on the release date when I have them. The second is a follow-up to
Subversive Horror Cinema for McFarland & Co, a study of 'gruesomeness' in 1930s American Horror Cinema. The manuscript for this is due in October so it's still nose to the grindstone for me until then! Meanwhile here are some photographs that I took during a recent research trip to Hollywood, L.A.

| Finally found Maila Nurmi's grave in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. |

| Ready for your close up, Mr De Mille? C.B's grave at the Hollywood Forever. |

| Which classic 1930s monster movie is this script page from? |

| Glad to see Subversive Horror Cinema in the USC library! |

Those photos are fantastic, Jon! I especially like the ones of Vampira's grave.
I did wonder about foreboding quietness on here - now I know why! Looking forward to more updates... :)
