About the author
Jon Towlson writes regularly for Starburst, Scream and The Dark Side. He is the author of numerous books on cult movies, and has contributed extras to Blu-ray releases by Arrow, Second Sight, Eureka Video and 101 Films. His writing on horror movies has been nominated for five Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards.
Jon's obsession with cult movies started with the movie mags he collected as a kid, with titles like House of Hammer and World of Horror. It was here he first heard about Alice, Sweet Alice and The Redeemer: Son of Satan. His obsession grew with the dawn of VHS when he would gather his friends to marvel at bad movies like Night of the Demon (1980). His cult movie education continued in grindhouses like London's notorious Scala cinema, where he would revel in the weird and wonderful - Thundercrack! Café Flesh, Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Santa Sangre, Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill! Singapore Sling. Then, in 2003, Jon walked into Kim's Video and Music in New York and bought his first-ever DVD: Jeff Lieberman's cult classic, Blue Sunshine. The rest, as they say, is history.
