Welcome back to The Gingold Files, returning to this site after a summer/early-fall break. The section features my past articles and reviews for Fangoria.com that are celebrating "anniversaries" this month, but have long been lost in cyberspace. This week, the focus is on a pair of movies by two of the greatest Spanish-language filmmakers: Guillermo del Toro's CRIMSON PEAK (with a review and interviews with del Toro and star Tom Hiddleston) and Pedro Almodóvar's THE SKIN I LIVE IN (with a review and an interview with star Antonio Banderas. On the other side of the coin, there are reviews of a bunch of Hollywood remakes, including CARRIE, THE THING, QUARANTINE (derived from [REC]) and THE STEPFATHER, plus an interview with scripter Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa on the TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN redux, and more!
