Fessenden's Skin and Bones

I'm a huge Larry Fessenden fan (as those elite few who took part in this year's "Hidden Gem" film fest and were subjected to my Habit pick are well aware) and have been wanting to see his latest offering, Skin and Bones, for some time now.  However, as it was part of last year's made for TV series Fear Itself, (generally considered to be a low-rent version of the Masters of Horror project, though they share the same creator and many contributors) the chances looked slim that this would find its way to DVD as a solo release.  Well, Fear Itself is coming out in October as a complete season, and there look to be a few intriguing entries (from Stuart Gordon, Mary Harron and Brad Anderson); however, the shining star in the set seems to be Fessenden's film, and after clicking around on LF's production company's site, I discovered a link to the film online!  Free!  I've only watched a couple minutes so far, but thought I'd share the info with anyone who might be interested in following the progression of this unique voice in modern horror cinema.

the black harvey milk.

i'm getting overwhelmingly negative (from kris, tom, and jules) responses to the new look of the blog (which i happen to love). should i change it back?

Chocolate Milk..... got it.

Regarding the new look of the blog, I'm guessing that the Aestheticons are having difficulties focusing on a page that lacks bright colours and blinking graphics. It looks too much like a newspaper perhaps. I think that if you change the banner picture to something that includes Jason Stratham attaching live battery cables to his nipples, a pretty fountain with a naked Hugh Jackman frolicking in the water, and a pinup of James (Apollo) Bamber looking all pouty and sulking as only the British can, you might get all three of them on board.
