I became a fan of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers several years ago by a chance encounter with a friend's iPod. I became obsessed and ended up going through what I thought was his whole catalogue. I classified him as a classic rock artist who was underappreciated, no longer relevant, and patted myself on the back for "getting it." So when I heard that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were coming to Seattle on August 19, I grabbed my credit card and headed to my laptop, ready to buy a general admission ticket to Neumos or the Showbox…maybe the Moore Theater. After all, if the bands that I listened to in high school were playing those venues when they came to town, that's where I'd find Tom Petty.
I could not have been more wrong. Tom Petty's catalogue spans 40 years, 13 albums, 68 singles, and his most recent record, The Hypnotic Eye,...

Let me herewith take a break from new discs to review an Italian release from six years ago, a movie that for years we knew only as Atom Age Vampire. Until sporadic late- night TV showings appeared, it existed for us ’60s kids as one or two interesting photos in Famous Monsters magazine. Forry Ackerman steered away from adult films, with the effect that...

Don't Wait! Put on the mask, Now! The legendary 1961 spook-show classic has been restored and adapted to a better 3-D system than used for its original release. A psychiatrist possessed by a Mayan ritual mask is compelled to enter a fantastic hell zone each time he wears the scary thing. Kino packs the deluxe disc with extras, including a 2014 3-D short subject with its own "Let's go to Hell" story concept. We see Hell, all right. But where are the trailers from it? The Mask 3-D Blu-ray Kino Classics 1961 / B&W /1:66 flat Academy / 83 min. / Street Date November 24, 2015 / available through Kino Lorber / 29.95 Starring Paul Stevens, Claudette Nevins, Bill Walker, Anne Collings, Martin Lavut, Leo Leyden, Norman Ettlinger.

Most movie trailers boil down a film to its essence, resulting in 2½ minutes of unbridled sensationalism. That’s pretty much a trailer’s raison d’être and we love ‘em for it. But what if the entire movie was like that? Such is the case for another of the films in our Great Global Trailer Search, 1960′s The Hypnotic Eye.
The film opens in the deceptively bland manner of a shampoo commercial; a lovely young blonde enters and goes through the routine of washing her hair. Instead of using the sink however, she turns on the stove and drops her head into the flames. The film’s titles run over the appalling sight of her agonized expression being consumed in the fire.
Directed by the usually good-natured George Blair (TV’s Adventures of Superman), The Hypnotic Eye continues in that sadistic vein with a gruesome plotline seemingly inspired by the...
