This week, the Halloween sequel opens and I finally get to publish my TIFF interview with Judy Greer, which was precisely as much fun as you might imagine. (Keep an eye out for her directorial debut, A Happening of Monumental Proportions, which I am told will be coming to Canada eventually; it’s already opened in the US, and landing on iTunes this coming Tuesday.)

I also talked to Carly Stone, whose intriguing little character study The New Romantic opens in Toronto tomorrow after impressing the SXSW audience and jury; that should be up later this afternoon.

Until then, occupy yourself this week’s episode of Black Hole Films, in which I introduce host Jeremy Lalonde and our horror-averse friend Marilla Wex to one of the seminal J-horror works of the late ’90s, Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Cure. It gets a little silly, but that’s probably a defense mechanism on their part.

UPDATE: The Carly Stone Q&A is online right now! But you should still listen to the podcast.
