The team sits down with Joseph A. Ziemba & Annie Choi, the Creators behind BLEEDING SKULL!On January 4, 2004, Joseph A. Ziemba launched BLEEDING SKULL! with a simple intention: to share a passion for obscure genre films and honor the filmmakers behind them. Since then BLEEDING SKULL! has become the authority on cinematic dispatches from the fringes. FANGORIA called BLEEDING SKULL! “The go-to encyclopedia for trash, bizarre, and shot-on-video horror cinema,” while VICE referred to it as “like a fever dream glimpse into parallel worlds.” Years of uncovering and celebrating outsider films led to the publication of BLEEDING SKULL! A 1980s TRASH-HORROR ODYSSEY (Headpress, 2013) and BLEEDING SKULL! A 1990S TRASH-HORROR ODYSSEY (Fantagraphics, 2021). In 2018, BLEEDING SKULL! teamed up with the American Genre Film Archive (AGFA) to launch a home video line that continues today, with releases such as THE MCPHERSON TAPE, LIMBO, and BOARDINGHOUSE. Now led by Ziemba and Annie Choi, BLEEDING SKULL! continues to explore and discover the depths of the underground, all with a joyful DIY spirit inspired by the films themselves.BLEEDING SKULL! playlist is now on Fandor.Fandor on Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fandorTwitter: https://twitter.com/FandorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fandorfilmsTikTok: tiktok.com/@fandorfilms Hosted on Acast.

Joanne Samuel is back in a film that Bleeding Skull’s Joseph A. Ziemba called, “a decent rip-off that moves slow and never crosses the line.” When young Alison Findlay and her friends decide to play with an Ouija board their fun in interrupted by an ominous spirit warning our heroine to stay away from “them” on her nineteenth birthday. Flash forward a few years and despite the otherworldly warning, Alison is heading home to spend her nineteenth birthday with her Aunt and Uncle. Before she’s aware of what is going on, Alison is trapped in the clutches of a demon-worshipping cult and it’s up to her boyfriend, Peter, to rescue her before it’s too late.
Bill speaks with Joseph A. Ziemba, creator of the website Bleeding Skull, director of genre programming and promotions at Alamo Drafthouse, and a lead archivist for American Genre Film Archive (AGFA). They discuss the origins of his various projects, as well as formative cinematic experiences, the aesthetic of BOARDINGHOUSE, work/life balance, the evolution of AGFA, and why preserving films like BAT PUSSY won’t necessarily get you disinvited from future family get-togethers these days.
