We're not dead! Issue 13 coming in 2023! Print lives!
These are our people. We thank them for everything they do. Print lives. Physical media lives.
The curators behind Vinegar Syndrome, Radiance, Fun City, and Cinématographe are keeping jewels of film history from falling through the cracks.
We just learned via our ally Bruce Holecheck of Cinema Arcana that exploitation film icon Annie Belle died. Another legend is gone. :(

Kenneth Anger died today at the age of 96. His contributions to cinema cannot be overstated. Another legend is gone.
We are shocked at the news that our dear hero and friend Giovanni Lombardo Radice died. He was a true icon that we had the pleasure of becoming close to. Condolences go out to his family and legions of fans. Our emotions are spiraling.
We’re back! See you soon, 🇨🇦!
Cinema Wasteland returns the weekend of March 31st with its 40th show. Ultra Violent will be set up all weekend. Please stop by our table and say hello. We’re relatively friendly people. Besides our most-recent issue, we’ll also have a slew of DVDs and Blu-rays for sale, including hard-to-find titles from Unearthed Films. We also have most sizes of all four of our shirt designs in stock, a rarity for us, including the much sought after Art Ettinger shirt. This shirt started out as a joke, but it ended up a popular reality. It’s not our fault that there are cults of personality surrounding Ultra Ultra Violent's Art Ettinger and Scott Gabbey. In addition to the Ettinger shirt, along with both Ultra Violent sticker designs, we’ll also have free Scott Gabbey beer stickers with us, as well as a new Art Ettinger sticker. As always, Art Ettinger will also take part in the programming at Wasteland, co-hosting a Texas Chainsaw Massacre reunion panel (with Roger Bartlett, Allen Danziger, John Dugan, Kim Henkel, Teri McMinn, Edwin Neal, Daniel Pearl, and William Vail), co-hosting a Q&A with FX master Nick Benson, and hosting a Q&A with actress Olivia Brown! See you the weekend of March 31st at Wasteland!

We are shaken by the tragic news that our hero, idol, and friend Ruggero Deodato died. He directed many films, with Cannibal Holocaust and House on the Edge of the Park being two of our all-time favorites. We interviewed him in 2004 and became good friends with him in subsequent years. Deodato meant the world to us. We miss him already.
We know who we are. We know where we came from. Our progenitors are clear. Craig Ledbetter was a true trailblazer in our field. He will never be forgotten.
Tragic news keeps coming in today. We just learned of the deaths of Video Watchdog's Donna Lucas and blaxploitation icon Austin Stoker. Please take a moment and reflect on the greatness of these two legends. Hug someone you love. Life is short.

We are mourning the death of Nick Zedd, a true independent.
Ultra Violent isn't dead, but way too many of our heroes are dying. The death of Alice, Sweet Alice director Alfred Sole is the latest loss of a genre icon.
