I SPIT ON YOUR CELLULOID
by @honeycuttheidi.bsky.social

Pub’d by @headpress.com

Welcome to #HauteHorrorCover - where horror book covers twin with high fashion
#BookSky #HorrorSky

#HauteHorrorCover graphic. A purple book cover on an e-reader -  I Spit on Your Celluloid: The History of Women Directing Horror Movies by Heidi Honeycutt. Illustration: a woman with long hair, seemingly only wearing a circular pendant necklace, sits staring at the viewer. Their image is repeated in green, blue and red that are overlaying each other, with the blue and red creating purple. There are close-ups of faces treated similarly but hard to see. A splatter of red hits the bottom right corner. On the left of the e-reader is a strip of film featuring a model wearing a sleeveless Elie Saab (Spring/Summer 2014) dark purple to pale purple ombre gown with a thin purple belt. The bodice has a square cutout that goes down an inch to reveal the top of the chest.

The true story behind Al Pacino’s #DogDayAfternoon is much more complex than what #Hollywood showed us. In our latest issue, Max Phillips reviews two new books that dig into the 1972 bank robbery and the history left off screen: glreview.org/article/a-dog-day-in-the-making @headpress.com

Can't resist a TV movie paperback.
