This is a PSA: if you live in NYC, Brooklyn Academy of Music is doing a Michael Mann retrospective during the first half of February and following that with a series of witch movies during the second half, in honor of the release of The Witch, a festival darling from last year which is supposed to be absolutely terrifying. Do you know what this means!? Heat and Suspiria will both be screening on 35mm at BAM in February!
They're also screening pretty much everything Michael Mann's made, including his masterpiece, Miami Vice. Not kidding, I fucking love that movie.
Other notables: The Witch, The City of the Dead (not to be confused with Fulci's City of the Living Dead), Blair Witch, The Wicker Man, The Witches, The Craft, and Viy, the first horror movie from the Soviet Union. I haven't seen Viy, but from what I've heard, it was either a big influence on The Evil Dead or there were some very strange coincidences (e.g., the floating, Demon POV camera). Either way, I'm really curious.
Anyway, here are the links:

I'm super excited! Everyone should go!
