From the webmaster:

I'm just wanting to let everyone know that I am not affiliated with Amicus Productions. I'm not a relative of Subotsky or Rosenberg. I am just a guy who believes that these films have their historical place in cinema history and should not be forgotten. Why do I say it's the ONLY Amicus website? I say that because it is the only website that is 100% dedicated to the legacy of Amicus Productions and it's creators. Of course it's not an official website, because the original company has been defunct now for over 30 years. It has just recently been revived as Amicus Entertainment.

A Eulogy of sorts

You know, real life death is never quite like it is in the movies we celebrate and live for. It still is always a shock and never as glamorous or glorious as it appears on celluloid. My grandmother Gladys Johnson passed away on July 23rd. My mother was happy that she waited until the day after my birthday. She was a great woman and basically helped raise me when I was a kid and took me back in when I left my parent's house as a wild and crazy young adult who couldn't live with their overzealous rules and regulations. She always had an influence on me, whether it was direct or indirect. Even in death, she had an influence and impact on me. The trip to bury her in Illinois allowed me to get caught up on some of the Amicus films I needed to watch. Thanks , Grandma.

You may notice that things have been kind of slow around here in the past couple of months, and I apologize. On Monday, I will be posting a review of the Little Shoppe of Horrors issue entitled Scream and Scream Again - The Uncensored History of Amicus Productions by Philip Nutman. If you have yet to pick up this issue, it is a must have for all fans of British classic horror films. Go get it right now at www.littleshoppeofhorrors.com.
