* Infocult’s Bryan Alexander tracks developments in the case of Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man who imprisoned his daughter and their inbred children in hidden chambers in his cellar for over two decades. I’m as astonished by this story as I have been by anything I’ve read in all of my years following macabre crimes. To my surprise, the most outlandish details of the initial reports have not just been confirmed, but surpassed.

* Though I haven’t seen any of the Masters of Horror films that And Now the Screaming Starts’ CRwM is talking about in his review of John Carpenter’s Pro-Life, I greatly admire the way he goes after mainstream critics for myopically focusing on “horror as current-events report” and horror filmmakers for catering to that particular fixation.

* I like the sound of I Love Sarah Jane, a short film about a lovestruck junior-high kid’s experiences during a zombie apocalypse, screened at the Independent Film Festival of Boston and reviewed by Not Coming to a Theater Near You’s Katherine Follett.

* Finally, amen. (Via Topless Robot.)
