While the Big Easy was still shaking off a slight springtime chill, my horror-loving heart was heating up as I rode the escalator to the third floor of the Canal Place mall: home of the sprawling food court, the terrific Prytania Theaters, and, for this weekend, the official headquarters of the “summer camp for genre fans,” the 2024 Overlook Film Festival!
Taking that second escalator up to the third floor is akin to ascending to horror nirvana, as I was immediately immersed in all manner of the macabre: the Vinegar Syndrome table of essential physical media waited on my right, the Super Yaki merch table of eerie apparel lied straight ahead, and must-see screenings lurk around every corner.

The four-man "dirty rock" band invited us into the tour's empty equipment truck only moments before they took the stage at New York City's Terminal 5 concert space.
Having formed three years ago in Southern California, lead singer Jay Buchanan said, "We had a common likeness of a good type of rock and roll that we wanted to play."
More specifically, guitarist Scott Holiday explained, "We describe it as rock that hasn't forgotten the roll. It's real dirty. It's real raw."
Their blues-rock look and sound, which you...
