  7. Chris Carter is mistaken if he thinks more gore will bring The X-Files: I Want to Believe back to life
    By Ben Child

  11. In 1983 my friend Matsuo Kentaro, now editor of The Rake Japan magazine, was a member of the high school film club Cinema Friends Mikawaya. With Takeda Jun & other members, he made the short horror film "Black Screen." When I saw it in 2019, I was inspired to make this musical tribute.
