Thank You to David Gregory (@tod_corman) for inviting me to do an interview about #PatrickMagee for the new @severinfilms release of #DemonsoftheMind and for generously letting me choose 3 films from the Severin collection, the horror version of the Criterion closet!

My picks were Four Flies On Grey Velvet (my favorite Argento giallo), The Psychic (one of my favorites from Fulci, looking forward to getting Black Cat), and Don't Go in the House (one of my favorite slashers)!
