Today at The Reveal, I bring CONFESS, FLETCH into The New Cult Canon. Now that it has become a cult classic through the organic process of me calling it that, they simply have to produce more Fletch movies with Greg Mottola and Jon Hamm. Free to read: thereveal.film/the-new-cult...

The New Cult Canon: ‘Confess Fletch’

Greg Mottola and Jon Hamm gave audiences the Fletch they apparently didn't deserve.

OUT TODAY! My official novelization of Stuart Gordon's CASTLE FREAK, the first-ever official Full Moon novel. Foreword by the legend himself, Dennis Paoli. What a surreal, heart-wrenching, grotesque blessing it was to tell this story. www.amazon.com/Castle-Freak...

It’s been a few days, so gonna promote my book, HAND-HELD HELL! Like weird, low-budget horror movies? Like tales of the video-store era? You might dig my 376-page, full-color exploration of the amateur SOV/8mm horror of the 80s/90s. It’s out now from @terrorvisionvids.bsky.social!

Justin Burning’s 2023 book, HAND-HELD HELL: THE OUTBREAK OF HOMEMADE HORROR, sitting on a bookshelf. The cover features a hooded skeletal ghoul holding a Super 8 video camera.

Thanks all for your response to this! Honestly it's a good kick in the pants to get writing again - and writing about video stores feels like part of a uniquely shared cultural history at this point

If you have access to TCM, I highly recommend BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL, David Kittredge's 2025 documentary on the reviled sequel to THE EXORCIST. It's a charming tribute to the exact kind of movie we're so fascinated by on this podcast www.tcm.com/watchtcm/tit...
