If you haven’t had the pleasure of making it to any of Bizarre Magazine's 'The Cut' monthly underground cinema evening, then I strongly urge you to get your backsides down there. It’s free entry, you get one free beer (and bottles after that are a pound) and it’s chock full of eccentrics, horror aficionados and everyday citizens with a taste for dark rooms and good company.
The icing on the cake though was the presentation itself, Svetozar Ristovski’s The Last Victim (2010) based on the book of the same name. It deals with the relationship between college student Jason Moss and notorious serial killer John Wayne Gacy who was convicted of the murder of 33 individuals, mostly young boys whom he raped, tortured and buried in his basement.

Actor William Forsythe was haunted by John Wayne Gacy while portraying the serial killer for a hard-hitting new movie - his sleep was interrupted by weird dreams and he couldn't shake the character after filming wrapped.
The Rock star thought it would be a challenge to play Gacy in Dear Mr. Gacy - the movie based on the book The Last Victim by criminology student Jason Moss, who corresponded with the sick killer while he was on death row - but he had no idea just how much the research would play with his mind.
Forsythe tells BlogTalkRadio.com, "I began to have crazy dreams and very realistic. The dreams that I was having were basically (from) Gacy's perspective... It was a lot of dreams, where I would be driving along in a car and looking out the window and I was seeing faces of boys standing on corners talking and just seeing them from his perspective.
"It's chilling because these dreams were exactly what John Wayne Gacy would do. I put together a slide show of the photographs of his victims and I couldn't get through that slide show without emotionally breaking down. It was so disturbing to see the faces of these young innocent boys that he lured in under the guise of being a nice guy."
Forsythe also struggled to get Gacy out of his life after the movie - because so many people wanted to talk to him about the portrayal.
He adds, "I was conscious of how disturbing the journey would be. This was a journey from hell for me and I'll never look back and have anything to do with John Wayne Gacy again because it's over for me. I literally just turned on the Beach Boys and went back to being a blond. I tried to surf my way out of it in a way and go to a whole other place.
"I almost feel bad about it because the doors that I opened up in Chicago research-wise, I had to stop talking to those people for at least this past year because I just didn't want to talk about John Wayne Gacy. These are good people in their own right, particularly his best friend Barry (Boschelli), who was a victim of John... He was the nicest guy and I owe him so much for the understanding of who Gacy was but I found I couldn't return his phone calls after awhile. I'm going to call him again but I had to get away from Gacy."...

This week is the lightest in recent memory with only four (barely) notable horror releases. Synapse Films' 100th release, Robert Young’s classic Vampire Circus, will be gracing our screens and so will Dear Mr. Gacy, the adaptation of The Last Victim, the memoirs of Jason Moss, who corresponded with serial killer John Wayne Gacy. Read on to see what the other two are.
Vampire Circus (1972)
Directed by Robert Young
Starring David Prowse, Robert Tayman, Anthony Higgins, Thorley Walters
A little girl is brutally slain by a vampire in a tiny 19th century Austrian village. Seeking revenge, the townspeople invade the foreboding castle of Count Mitterhaus and kill him for the crime. As the Count falls, he curses the villagers and vows that their children will all die so that he may someday return to life. 15 years later, as the village is ravaged by the plague, a traveling circus...

The time was the Fifties. "He was short, and his hair was slicked back. His shoes were scuffed. "What is your name?" I asked. He looked at me and said "My name is John...Wayne...Gacy. We shook hands. Right at that moment, sir, there's no doubt, I knew that he was different from anyone that I ever knew." So says Barry Boschelli, the childhood friend of one of the most dangerous and psychotic men to ever walk the planet.
I was asked by Anchor Bay to do this interview in promotion of its latest film, Dear Mr. Gacy (review here), a reality based look at the last known relationship Gacy ever had with a young student named Jason Moss (who also went on to write his own book about his experiences entitled The Last Victim). I'm always ready to jump into an interview, but this time I was a little perplexed.
