Sorry to miss yesterday's post, Stockhaz! That's what a birthday dinner will do to you the next day. Ongoing series this last Monday of August '13 include Anthology Film Archives' That's Sexploitation! and Film Forum's massive Son Of Summer Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror. The complete lineup as follows;
Film Forum
THE SERVANT (1963) Dir; Joseph Losey

THE UNKNOWN (1927) Dir; Tod Browning
Anthology Film Archives

Today's Pick? Tod Browning's THE UNKNOWN, the macabre tale of madness, mutilation and murder under the big top, starring Lon Chaney and Joan Crawford. Because batshit.
