Barry Kaufman ofThe House of Monstershas been enmeshed in horror cinema for four decades, from publishing fanzines on Japanese monsters and obscure horror starting at the age of 12 to running All Horror Video in the 1980s to curating the House of Monsters retail store in Chicago. He is determined to spread the gospel of obscure horror cinema from distant lands to unsuspecting audiences in the hope of fostering greater understanding and acceptance of horror films that are rarely if ever screened theatrically.John McDevitt is a lifelong filmgoer who now works as a freelance film programmer. John grew up onGoosebumpsbooks,Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Universal Classic Monsters,Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, and anything else weird and wonderful within reach of their itty-bitty ghoulish raccoon paws. John is fascinated by all genres of cinema and appreciates horror most of all for its willingness to explore what makes us uncomfortable and for the compassion it often extends to its characters and the viewer. John also programsFetish Film Forum, a monthly screening series at theLeather Archives & Museum.
