who, among what was surely a very small readership, would find a picture in an obscure magazine devoted to the writings of Arthur Machen and his contemporaries a matter worthy of reporting to the authorities? None of the readers, perhaps, but what about the printer?

Ludicrous now, but back then people were being raided at dawn for owning pirate tapes of films you can buy in double-disc director's cuts in HMV now. And people in mainstream day jobs such as mine were losing them because of the publicity that followed such dawn raids. I often used to condemn that sort of nonsense in my film reviews on Radio Merseyside - I remember taking apart a ridiculous press release from Liverpool Trading Standards that tried to conflate Men Behind the Sun, Salo and one of the Faces of Death series as if they were the same kind of film. They actually appended a photocopy of Steve Thrower's review of Men Behind the Sun to the release (to his dismay when I told him).

Of the John Mains interviews, the David Case is my pick of the two if for no other reason than he was once something of a mystery figure, having all but completely dropped off the horror radar after his Pan Horror years until Stephen Jones and David Sutton persuaded him to contribute a new story, Twins, to what would be a classic issue of Fantasy Tales (#16, Summer 1986). FT was where i first learned that Mr. Case was alive, well and knocking out "modern pulp Westerns and soft porn novels under a variety of pseudonyms", so it was of interest to hear more about the 'lost years', Mr. Case finally making some decent money after dealing with Herbert Van Skinflint for years. And we now have Mr. Case's verdict on the acting skills of the legendary Amicus rubber hand. That's got to count for something. Heard the sad news that David Case died on the 3rd of February.

This is sad news indeed. I don't know a lot of his writings, but I always had a soft spot for "Fengriffen". I know this isn't even supposed to be his best story, but somehow I have three editions of it, including a Kindle with a nice foreword by Jones and an even better afterword by Newman about the movie.
RIP David Case.
