About Me

KIER-LA JANISSE is an author, critic, film programmer, podcaster, publisher and producer with an emphasis on genre cinema.

Video Watchdog’s Tim Lucas referred to her book House of Psychotic Women as one of the 10 “most vital” horror film books of all time, and Ian MacAllister-McDonald of the LA Review of Books called it “the next step in genre theory, as well as the most frightening and heart-rending memoir I’ve read in years.”

Mystery package from Sweden! A massive hardcover compilation of spreads from vintage erotic occult magazines. The magazines themselves are not easy to come by so this is a fantastic document of the period in which these publications peaked. I got it from Subliminal Sounds which is a record label, and its provenance is deliberately obscure. Maybe they have some left for the seekers out there?

I was trying to cover things with my fingers and realized I failed to cover everything so hopefully I won’t get banned for sharing this!

Wed Aug 17th I'll be at the @brattletheatre with @severinfilms new 4k restoration of IDENTIKIT starring Liz Taylor at her most "koo-koo pops" (Dangerous Minds) and I'll have copies of the new @fab_press HOUSE OF PSYCHOTIC WOMEN - although best to buy a bundled ticket to make sure you get one as I'll have limited supplies!

Hungarian poster for WUSA (1970) by Darvas Árpád

Included in @pulpcurry ‘s recent @crimereads article on underrated 70s neo-noir (and eerily reminiscent of the political moment we find ourselves in now)

It's long been a dream of mine to get inside the famed Habitat 67 and today I did! (on only two hours of sleep which is why I look so ratty) And I got to impress the tour guide by tipping her off that 70s Donald Sutherland thriller THE DISAPPEARANCE was filmed there.
