DISCOVER THE HORROR AT THE CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY!



Howdy, folks!

Well, we survived the first week of October and we're getting ready for our second installment of Kicking the Seat's Friday Night Frights. This week's subject is the wildly divisive third chapter in Dario Argento's "Three Mothers" trilogy, 2007's Mother of Tears!

HIDDEN HORROR News and Reviews, Part IV!!!!

Waldemar says, "HIDDEN HORROR makes great bedtime reading!"

Howdy, folks,

It's an incredible thing to put something out into the world. You toil away at it in private, tinkering and tweaking, making little compromises, continuing to nudge it in the direction you want it to go. It's never exactly how you envisioned it, but at some point, you finally just say, "Enough."

For HIDDEN HORROR and all its contributors, that day was December 30, 2013, the day we all let go of the string and watched our bloody balloon sail off into parts unknown. We hoped others would love it as much as we did, that they would understand our love for the genre's misfit toys and join in the party. But, of course, there was no guarantee that they would.

So, we watched.

And waited...

And then the reviews started coming in.

And they liked us. They really, really liked us.

Which is pretty darn awesome.
